Watch TOGETHER (feat. Kirk Franklin and Tori Kelly)
Lyrics: [For King & Country:] This is for the busted heart This is for the question marks This is for the outcast soul Lost control, no one knows
Sing it for the can’t go back Sing it for the broken past Sing it for the just found out Life is now upside down
If you’re looking for hope tonight Raise your hand If you’re feeling alone And don’t understand If you’re fighting In the fight of your life Then stand We’re gonna make it through this Hand in hand
If we fall We will fall together, together
[Tori Kelly:] This is for the second chance This is for the new romance Sing it for the loved in vain Overcame, it’s not too late
[For King & Country and Tori Kelly:] If you’re looking for hope tonight Raise your hand If you’re feeling alone And don’t understand If you’re fighting In the fight of your life Then stand We’re gonna make it through this Hand in hand
If we fall We will fall together, together When we rise We will rise together, together, oh We will rise together
[Kirk Franklin w/ Choir:] Listen If you’re looking for hope tonight And you’re all alone If you’re feeling alone tonight Can you feel If you’re in the fight of your life I can promise We’re gonna make it hand in hand
I will be by your side By your side Cause love is in the air tonight Can you feel it Come up and see the light Whenever and wherever Just as long as we’re together, say
[For King & Country, Tori Kelly, & Kirk Franklin w/ Choir:] If we fall We will fall together I got you my brother, together I see you my sister When we rise We will rise together, together Help me say
If we fall We will fall together Take my hand, together Help me stand When we rise We will rise together, together
[For King & Country:] Together we are dangerous Together with our differences Together we are bolder Braver, stronger
