So you’ve got nothin’ much in common
With the artist down in red hook
Who lost the place he works in,
So you could build some condos on the water!
But he buys coffee from the coffee guy,
Who’s renting from the actor,
Who’s married to the doctor,
Who is in the E.R. trying to save your daughter!
Ain’t no man Manhattan,
No island all his own.
On rows of __?__ or Staten,
Ain’t none of us alone.
Your action’s my reaction,
In ways you won’t expect!
We’re all in this together,
Yeah we all connect.
Take the environment, or housing,
Human rights, or education,
Every issue is connected to each person here,
There ain’t no separation!
Ain’t no “I” in island,
Anywhere on Earth.
How much you love you life is,
What every life is worth.
Your answer is my question,
My cause is your effect!
We’re all in this together,
Yeah we all connect.
And we all somehow keep moving even so!
All of 8.25 Billion on the globe!
While changing you in ways you might not now!
OOOOHHHHH!
Ain’t no man Manhattan,
No island all his own.
On rows of __?__ or Staten,
Ain’t none of us alone,
We live in these collisions,
These accidents arise!
We somehow find each other
In each other’s eyes!
So a Kindergarten teacher,
Helps a certain city planner,
Meet a surgeon from Nebraska,
And his best friend is a doctor.
And the city keeps evolving,
And the people keep revolving,
All of 8.25 Billion on the globe!
A different way for every single one
While turning and returning, force has grown!
And we somehow find each other even so…!
