All Together
Unity in Struggle: Joey Economics' Powerful Message
Lyrics
We don't got a lot, but we got plenty
We might not possess a surplus, but what we have is abundant.
We know what it's like growing up straight from pennies
We understand the experience of growing up with very little money.
A hard knock life always affecting many
A difficult and challenging life has an impact on many people.
We know that it's hard, but we can change the world
Despite the hardships, we believe in our ability to make a difference globally.
If we're all together
Emphasizing the importance of unity and collective action for change.
If we're all together
-If we're all together
-Growing up in life we knew we never had a lot (But)
Our upbringing was not affluent, but familial conflicts were prominent.
At least family conflict was a lot of what we got (Yeah)
Ironically, family conflict was a significant part of our experience.
Funny thing is that I know that we are not alone (Cause)
We recognize that our struggles are shared; we're not alone in facing difficulties.
We all seem to struggle with the same things in our bones (Oh)
There's a commonality in the challenges we face, deeply ingrained within us.
And even though laughter was my favorite medicine (I)
Although laughter helped, forming close relationships was tough for the singer.
Always found it hard to let most of these people in (But)
Most of our pain stems from internal sources.
Most of our pain comes from what's inside (So)
Introspection—pondering the reasons behind our pain.
I think we've all had to ask ourselves why
The singer has dreamt of days filled with positivity and hope.
I've dreamt, whole life, for days like this
Reflecting on both memorable and forgettable days lived.
We've lived, some days, we'll never miss
Acknowledging the progress made in the journey of life.
We've come, so far, this life we live
We've achieved much and have a lot to contribute.
We've done, all this, so much to give
Despite life's deviations from our plans, unity is essential for strength.
Even though life didn't go as we planned
Reiterating the significance of unity, especially in adversity.
Divided we fall, united we stand
Unity's power emphasized again; division weakens, but togetherness strengthens.
I said even though life doesn't go as we planned
-Divided we fall, united we stand
-We don't got a lot, but we got plenty
Repetition of the earlier verses, emphasizing unity's transformative potential.
We know what it's like growing up straight from pennies
-A hard knock life always affecting many
-We know that it's hard, but we can change the world
-If we're all together
Stressing the necessity of togetherness for impactful change.
If we're all together
-If we're all together
-Even though we give our best to live these simple truths (Still)
Despite attempting to live by simple truths, contradictions exist.
We say other things to the faces of our youth (Damn)
We often convey different messages to the younger generation.
Sometimes I know we ask what's the use (Cause)
Questioning the purpose due to frequent setbacks despite efforts.
We try so hard and yet so often we lose (But)
Despite striving, failure is a recurring outcome.
Maybe we just never approached it right (Cause)
Suggesting that perhaps the approach to the challenges was flawed.
There's a reason darkness is the absence of the light (Yeah)
Highlighting the concept that darkness exists due to the absence of light.
We have to forgive and look inside of the heart (And)
Advocating forgiveness and introspection for personal growth.
So a focused mind can adjust the ways of our start (Yeah)
Encouraging a focused mind to adapt and change our beginnings.
We got to let go before we can grow
To progress, we must release past grievances.
Pain for the gain is the name of the game
Sometimes pain is necessary for eventual gain.
Can't have it all if we staying the same
Change is impossible if we remain stagnant.
Can't make change if we not turning the page
To create change, we must move forward from the current situation.
If there is one plan that stands above them all
Reinforcement of the idea that unity is paramount for success.
United we stand, divided we fall
-I said if there is one plan that stands above them all
-United we stand, divided we fall
-All together
Reiteration of the central theme: unity is essential for overcoming hardships and effecting change.
We don't got a lot, but we got plenty
-We know what it's like growing up straight from pennies
-A hard knock life always affecting many
-We know that it's hard, but we can change the world
-If we're all together
-If we're all together
-If we're all together
