Any which way we look
It's all we see
It's not about us anymore
It's all about me, me, me
If there ever was a time
To come together
The time is now
Before we're lost forever
It won't be easy
So far to go, so much to learn
We've got to remember
That we're all part of the same big family
Stand beside me
Stay and abide with me
Live and be happy
And until we reach the end
If you ever need a friend
I'll be standing here beside you
We take no notice
We turn our eyes away
From the harm we have done
To the human race
Maybe I see things different
Maybe I don't understand
Maybe it's time for those doing all the talking
To listen for a change
It won't be easy
So far to go, so much to learn
We've got to remember
That we're all part of the same big family
Stand beside me
Stay and abide with me
Live and be happy
And until we reach the end
If you ever need a friend
I'll be standing here beside you
Beside me
Oh beside you
Oh beside me
In my time here on earth
I've seen many changes made
I know a great deal has been done
But have we done all that we could
We were all made the same
Just take a look around
To what end will it come
If we strike our brothers down
Strike not our brothers down
Strike not our brothers down
Strike not our brothers down
Strike not our brothers down
Everywhere I look
It's the same damn thing
It's reality TV
And lawyers getting rich on pain
We've forgotten how to care
And to talk to one another
Stop tapping on your phone and talk to me now
Before we're lost forever
Oh it won't be easy
So far to go so much to see
We've got to remember
That we're all part of the same big family
Stand beside me
Stay and abide with me
Live and be happy
Oh until we reach the end
If you ever need a friend
I'll be standing here beside you
Oh beside me, beside me
Oh beside you, beside you
Oh beside me
