Have you been around
Have you done your share o' comin' down
On different things that people do
Have you been aware
You got brothers and sisters who care
About what's gonna happen to you in a year from now

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be givin' away
When we all live together
I'm talkin' 'bout together now

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be givin' away
When we all live together
I'm talkin' 'bout together now

Did you pay your dues
Did you read the news
This mornin' when the paper landed in your yard
Do you know their names
Can you play their games
Without losin' track and comin' down a bit too hard
Oh

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be givin' away
When we all live together
I'm talkin' 'bout together now

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be givin' away
When we all live together
I'm talkin' 'bout together now

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be givin' away
When we all live together
I'm talkin' 'bout together now

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand
Maybe I'll be there to share the land
That they'll be givin' away
When we all live together
Together, together

(Shake your hand) You know I'll be standin' by (share the land) to help you if you're worried
(Shake your hand) No more sadness, no more sorrow (share the land) and no more bad times
(Shake your hand) Every day comin' sunshine (share the land) every day everybody laughin'

(Shake your hand) Good times, good times (share the land) everybody walkin' by the river now
(Shake your hand) Walkin', singin', talkin' (share the land) smilin', laughin', diggin' each other

(Shake your hand) Everybody happy together (share the land) I'll be there, don't worry, if you're needin' me
(Shake your hand) Call on me, call on me (share the land)call my name, I'll be runnin' to help you
