Matthew Bell & The Next of Kin - Get It Together Lyrics

I saw my brother yesterday
Head in his hands and worn out shoes on his feet He's made his home with all the strangers here But he's so tired of sleeping on these dirty streets Says, ""If I could get a helping hand than I would go
But all these people walk on by, and I just feel so all alone""

Well we've got to get it together
Brother's crying for compassion, can't you hear But he'll never see tomorrow without trying Until we learn to love each other without fear

I saw my sister yesterday
Her baby's crying for her mama to come home But this 9 to 5 it just don't pay the rent
When she comes home it's like her money's all been spent She cries, ""Oh, Oh""

Well we've got to get it together
Sister's crying for compassion, can't you hear But she'll never see tomorrow without trying Until we learn to love each other without fear

Well we've got to get it together
People crying for compassion, can't you hear But they'll never see tomorrow without trying Until we learn to love each other without fear
