Words and music by michael omartian & bruce sudano



Every single heart needs a home

Everybody needs a touch of human kindness

It's no wonder we feel alone

'cause all in all we need each other



Everybody has a day

When it seems that everything is going no where

Looking for a touch from above to find god's love

And in it all you know we need each other

Let's understand that we're in it together



(chorus) 1

Take a ride through the streets of gold

On a train that's going to set us free

Hand in hand we will share the load

We're strong together as a family tree

Just reach out and you know i'll be there

In your time of need

That's the way it's meant to be



If somebody lets you down

Don't you want to turn away and run for cover?

Don't let it steal your joy don't let it destroy

'cause in it all you know we need each other

It's by design that we're in it together



(chorus) 2

Take a ride through the streets of gold

On a train that's going to set us free

Hand in hand we will share the load

We're strong together as a family tree

Just reach out and you know i'll be there

You can count on me

That's the way it's meant to be

We're brothers and sisters

We're in it together

'cause that's the way he meant it to be
