Guster - Keep It Together lyrics

When we all had finally washed ashore
It was clear there was no one else around
We declared a national holiday
A chance to build it from the ground, ground

So far away from everyone
And everything starts today

Let's keep it together
Can we keep it together?
We're singing a new song now
And everything starts today

Can we rise? Can we get along alright?
Can we miss the storm that
Sucks the whole world in?
And the boats went out at night
And the choppers in the sky
They searched but they could find
No trace of us

So far away from everyone
And everything starts today

Let's keep it together
Can we keep it together?
We're singing a new song now
And everything starts today

The thunder struck, the clouds appeared
I feel this crew was not prepared
And pretty soon the boats came for
Us half a million strong
We gathered arms and fired shells
We built a wall around ourselves
And pretty soon the spirit was a lot like
What it used to be back home

So far away from everyone
And everything starts today

Let's keep it together
Can we keep it together?
We're singing a new song now
And everything starts today

Let's keep it together
Can we keep it together?
We're singing a new song now
And everything starts today
