Music therapy: When We Stand Together

Happy Sunday everyone! Are you almost all set for Christmas? I’m really looking forward to enjoying some lovely food and wine in the company of my family over the coming days and I hope you are too. Today’s post is a little music therapy, not Christmas-related, but in the spirit of creating a better world. This is an old Nickelback song and you all know how much I enjoy them – they really have some great songs about life. This is one of their best and I particularly love this lyric video format of the song too – inspiring stuff. If you get some time to yourself today, I hope you find yourself with feet up by the fire, a cuppa in hand and this song playing for a few moments of me-time.

When We Stand Together – Nickelback
One more depending on a prayer
And we all look away
People pretending everywhere
It’s just another day
There’s bullets flying through the air
And they still carry on
We watch it happen over there
And then just turn it off
We must stand together
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There’s no getting even
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Hand in hand forever
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
That’s when we all win
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
That’s, that’s, that’s when we all win
That’s, that’s, that’s when we all win
They tell us every thing’s alright
And we just go along
How can we fall asleep at night
When something’s clearly wrong
When we could feed a starving world
With what we throw away
But all we serve are empty words
That always taste the same
We must stand together
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There’s no getting even
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Hand in hand forever
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
That’s when we all win
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
That’s, that’s, that’s when we all win
That’s, that’s, that’s when we all win
The right thing to guide us
Is right here, inside us
No one can divide us
When the light is leading on
But just like a heartbeat
The drumbeat carries on
And the drumbeat carries on
(Just like a heartbeat)
We must stand together
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There’s no getting even
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Hand in hand forever
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
That’s when we all win
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
That’s, that’s, that’s when we all win
That’s, that’s, that’s when we all win
