Close Together
Navigating Life's Journey: Jimmy Reed's Call for Unity in 'Close Together'
Lyrics
We gotta stay close together
We must maintain proximity and unity.
We gotta stay close together
Emphasizes the importance of staying close together.
If we don't somebody could
Warns of potential consequences if unity is not maintained.
Get ahead of us
Suggests a risk of someone surpassing or outdoing the collective if not close.
You know that this old world
Describes the world as challenging and filled with hardship and wrongdoing.
Is full of toil and sin
Highlights the difficulties and sins present in the world.
One little person just can't win
Expresses the idea that an individual alone may struggle to succeed.
Take it to the? side by side
Suggests collaboration or support with the phrase "side by side."
To try to keep each other
Encourages working together to avoid being deceived or taken advantage of.
From being taken for a ride
Emphasizes the need to stay close to prevent being misled.
We gotta stay close, close together
Reiterates the importance of maintaining proximity and unity.
We gotta stay close, close together
Reaffirms the message of staying close together for mutual benefit.
If we don't somebody could
Repeats the potential risk if unity is not preserved.
Get ahead of us
Reiterates the warning about someone getting ahead if not close.
We gotta stay close together
Reemphasizes the necessity of staying close together.
We gotta stay close together
Continues to stress the importance of unity and closeness.
We gotta stay close together
Further emphasizes the idea of maintaining proximity.
We gotta stay close together
Reiterates the call to stay close together for collective well-being.
If we don't somebody
Warns of potential consequences if unity is not preserved.
Could get ahead of us
Repeats the risk of someone surpassing the group if not close.
