Everybody join together, I want you to join together
Come on and join together with the band
We need you to join together, come on and join together
Come on and join together with the band
[interlude]
You don't have to play, you can follow or lead the way
I want you to join together with the band
We don't know where we're going, but the season's right for knowing
I want you to join together with the band

| this song is central to the Lifehouse story where music is the common language and people can put aside their differences and become one. nothing else. A great rock song by accident. | |

| Don't forget about the closeness the band felt with their fans. They held previews of albums, films etc. to get the honest views of people who loved their music. This song sums up the feelings of the band | |
