[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Ryan Miller]

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

[Pre-Chorus: Miller]

So far away from everyone

And everything starts today

[Chorus: Miller & Adam Gardner/Miller]

Let's keep it together

Can we keep it together?

We're singing a new song now

And everything starts today

[Verse 2: Miller/Miller & Gardner]

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

[Pre-Chorus: Miller]

So far away from everyone

And everything starts today

[Chorus: Miller & Gardner]

Let's keep it together

Can we keep it together?

We're singing a new song now

And everything starts today

[Bridge: Miller]

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

[Pre-Chorus: Miller]

So far away from everyone

And everything starts today

[Chorus: Miller & Gardner]

Let's keep it together

Can we keep it together?

We're singing a new song now

And everything starts today

[Chorus: Miller & Gardner/Miller]

Let's keep it together

Can we keep it together?

We're singing a new song now

And everything starts today

[End: Miller]
