We're All in This Together
, by Ben Lee











Woke up this morning
I suddenly realized
We're all in this together
I started smiling
'Cause you were smiling
And were all in this together
I'm made of atoms
You're made of atoms
And were all in this together
And long division
Just doesn't matter
'Cause were all in this together

I saw you walking
In the city
We're all in this together
The city's changing
'Cause we are changing
And we're all in this together
Every twelve seconds
Someone remembers
That we're all in this together
In the kitchen
Of your rent-control apartment
We're all in this together

C'mon baby
I don't mean to rush you
I only wanted to reach out and touch you
I've gotta start to open my heart

I know you think
About jumping ship before it sinks
But we are all in this together
Ask a scientist
It's quantum physics
We're all in this together
And on the subway
We feel like strangers
But we're all in this together
Yeah I love you and you love her
And she loves him
But we are all in this together

Y'know baby
There's never been protection
In all the history of human connection
C'mon darling
It's alright to show me
You don't ever need to be lonely
Once you start to open your heart

I saw you crying
I started crying
'Cause we're all in this together

And then religion
It's a big decision
But we're all in this together

We're all in this together




I love this song because it represents the reasons I was compelled to start this blog. We're all more alike than we are different. Every person's journey has unexpected twists and turns, peaks and valleys. All of us can benefit from connecting... helping, uplifting and motivating one another. We truly are all in this together!


If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
~Mother Theresa

I am new to all of this blogging but I am amazed at all the connections I have seen between people and the ones I am beginning to find. This goes way beyond the blogging world.
I am so glad that I found your blog because just from reading it this week, you have really touched me and helped me to remember some important messages that I should be thinking about each and every day!
THANK YOU!!!
