When We Stand Together Lyrics
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
There's no giving in
Hand in hand forever
That's when we all win
That's when we all win
That's when we all win
They tell us everything is all right
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
There's no giving in
Hand in hand forever
That's when we all win
That's when we all win
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 heart beat
The drum beat carries on
And the drum beat carries on
We must stand together
There's no giving in
Hand in hand forever
That's when we all win
That's when we all win
That's when we all win
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
There's no giving in
Hand in hand forever
That's when we all win
That's when we all win
That's when we all win
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
There's no giving in
Hand in hand forever
That's when we all win
That's when we all win
That's when we all win
Is right here inside us
No one can divide us
When the light is leading on
But just like a heart beat
The drum beat carries on
And the drum beat carries on
There's no giving in
Hand in hand forever
That's when we all win
That's when we all win
That's when we all win

I hear a lot of people hating on Nickelback all the time. Well, I dare anyone to look at these lyrics and not be inspired and uplifted by the message that is being presented here. Nickelback, I don't care what anyone else says, you are truly awesome!
One of their best songs. "But all we serve are empty word.That always taste the same". :) Just great man.
I see this as a song about poverty, and how no one is making an effort to help stop it. Great lyrics, just love it. This is quite similar to If Everyone Cared, just in the message it's trying to put across.
I love this song most of all out their entire catalogue of material.
Mmmm...empty words (and promises!) are my favorite! :)
When we could feed a starving world With what we throw away
I appreciate this line most and it would be the united nations that I would hold accountable for the reasons that this cannot occur. If the world stays in a constant state of conflict without resolution, then no one has made the choice to change and every nation is collectively responsible. As individuals, the task ahead is to show other nations what our own nation lacks and get external support without being labelled as a traitor.
Nickelback is talking about a lot of issues in American society: poverty, hunger, war, political apathy, and broken political systems.
Is it " when the light is leading on ", or is it " when the light is nearly gone " ?
best song on the new album. i know a lot of people hate nickelback (inculding my mother) because of all their raunchy lyrics. but after putting out songs like this how is it possible to hate them? i've listened to this song so many times in a row i've lost count. no one can hate this song and still be a human being.
Kind of sounds like Shinedown did this song.
