Times are hard, that's for sure

Lovers need to love a little more

Everybody's got to do their best

You can't complain

If you settle for less



And I know it's hard for you

To do the things that you want to do

But every day can get a little better

If you rise up, stand up

And stick together



* Stop breaking your heart

Don't fall apart

We're gonna build this thing together

Stop breaking your heart

This is the start

We're gonna make it last forever



We're gonna build this thing together

Now



I believe in you for sure

People need to learn

To trust a little more

Everybody's got a chip on their shoulder

Just because they feel a little older



I know it's got to be

So much better, wait and see

Hold on for a little longer

Gonna rise up, stand up

And we'll be stronger



( * Repeat 2 times )



Come on

We're gonna build this thing together

Now



Build it up, build it up

Build it up, build it up



Every night people fight

I'm askin' you do you think that's right

I believe that the feeling's there

But the people are unaware, yeah



And I know it's hard for you

To do the things that you want to do

But everything can get a little better

If you rise up, stand up

And stick together now



( * Repeat 2 times )



Now (Stop breaking your heart)

Oh now, yeah

We're gonna build it up

We're gonna build it up

We're gonna build this thing together

Build it up

We're gonna build it up

We're gonna build this thing together

Now ...
