UNITED WE STAND By Tom Jensen
All for one and one for all
It really makes no sense to hide it:
That he thinks this and she thinks that
One man’s fiction is another man’s fact
Not every conversation is one-sided
All for one and one for all
What was once on the way up
Is now going down
After empty words were spoken
The unity was broken
And the three musketeers
Have all skipped town
All for one and one for all
As an individual we are so small
But this isn’t China, this isn’t Japan
No one wants to be part
Of any master plan
Yet society’s foundation will crack
Without enough bricks in the wall
All for one and one for all
Quite similar to an alcoholic’s motto
They say take things a day at a time
It’ll help ease your mind
I guess there’s
No such word as tomorrow
All for one and one for all
The time that’s wasting is now
But for your God or for yourself
Maybe for me
Or perhaps someone else
To some greater cause
We must each take our vow
All for one and one for all
What kind of future
Does this world hold?
The ill are getting sicker
Each day our children
Are growing up quicker
Yet they say that
What hasn’t a price
Cannot be sold
All for one and one for all
The justice system of our country
Has no equal
Though the cases seem
To keep getting worse
After a movie is made
Everyone wants to be the first
In line to buy the sequel
All for one and one for all
The liberty bell keeps on ringing
As republicans and democrats
Keep on listening
While trying to figure out
Where the sound is at
And until the do I’ll keep on singing
All for one and one for all
You can sit staring
At quotes on the wall
But I believe
That Lincoln said it best
So there’s really no need
To recite all the rest
United we stand, divided we fall
All for one and one for all
It takes many seeds
To plant a garden
So you better harvest
Before the frost
For if you don’t
All your work will be lost
As I feel a wintry chill just starting
