Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wholy holy
Come together
Wholy holy
[Verse 2]
People, we've got to come together
Because we need the strength
The power and all
The feeling
Holy, yeah
[Verse 3]
Wholy holy
We should believe in each other's dreams
We've got to come together
Because we need the strength
Power and, oh, the feeling
[Verse 4]
Come on, holy
We can conquer, we can conquer
Oh, this thing called hate forever (Wholy holy)
Wholy holy, holy (Wholy holy)
[Verse 5]
Jesus left a long time ago
And he said he would return
Left us with a book to believe in, yes He did
In this book, in this book
We've got a whole, whole lot to learn
Wholy holy, wholy holy
Do you know? We can rock this world's foundation (Wholy holy)
Wholy holy, holy, yeah (Wholy holy)
[Verse 6]
Jesus left, and He said that He would return
But He left us a book to believe in (Wholy holy)
And in this book, in this book (Wholy holy)
We've got a whole, whole lot to learn
Wholy holy
Holy, holy, yeah (Wholy holy)
We can conquer this thing called hate forever (Wholy holy)
[Verse 7]
Wholy holy, come on, come together (Wholy holy)
People, we've got to come together, yeah (Wholy holy)
'Cause we need the strength (Wholy holy)
Power, yeah, ooh (Wholy holy)
[Verse 8]
Oh, feel it, come together (Wholy holy)
Don't you know that we can rock this world's foundation? (Wholy holy)
Wholy holy, yeah
Oh (Wholy holy)
We've got to come together (Wholy holy)
'Cause we need the strength, the power, ooh (Wholy holy)
Ooh, feel it
Oh, yeah
Holy (Holy)
