Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Have you been around? Have you done your share of comin' down?
On different things that people do?
Have you been aware? You got brothers and sisters who care
About what's gonna happen to you in a year from now
[Verse 2]
Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be givin' away when we all live together
We're talkin' 'bout together now
[Verse 3]
Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be givin' away when we all live together
We're talkin' 'bout together now
[Verse 4]
Did you pay your dues? Did you read the news?
This mornin' when the paper landed in your yard?
Do you know their names? Can you play their games
Without losin' track and comin' down a bit too hard? Oh
[Verse 5]
Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be givin' away when we all live together
We're talkin' 'bout together now
[Verse 6]
Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be givin' away when we all live together
We're talkin' 'bout together now
[Verse 7]
Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be givin' away when we all live together
We're talkin' 'bout together now
[Verse 8]
Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be givin' away when we all live together
Together, together
[Verse 9]
(Shake your hand, share the land)
You know I'll be standin' by to help you if you worry
(Shake your hand, share the land)
No more sadness, no more sorrow, and no more bad times
(Shake your hand, share the land)
Everyday comin' sunshine, everyday everybody laughin'
[Verse 10]
(Shake your hand, share the land)
Walkin' together by the river, walkin' together and laughin'
(Shake your hand, share the land)
Everybody singin' together, everybody singin' and laughin'
[Verse 11]
(Shake your hand, share the land)
Good times, good times, everybody walkin' by the river now
(Shake your hand, share the land)
Walkin', singin', talkin', smilin', laughin', diggin' each other
[Verse 12]
(Shake your hand, share the land)
Everybody happy together, I'll be there to worry you if you need me
(Shake your hand, share the land)
Call on me, call on me, call my name, I'll be runnin' to help you
[Verse 13]
(Shake your hand, share the land)
Everybody walkin' by the river now, everyday everybody laughin'
(Shake your hand, share the land)
Everybody singin' and talkin', smilin', laughin', diggin' each other
