This is an unusual song written by Tom Bolton. The verse is all on the same chord and repeats the same sequence of notes four times. The chorus is more conventional.
The text suggests it is a children’s song. Listen to a snippet at AOV.
Refrain
We could all build a bridge together.
When in need we could help each other.
God says we should love one another,
Stretch our arms out, open our hearts out,
Take good care of each other now,
Take good care of each other now!
Verse 1
Everybody’s standing, everybody’s walking,
everybody’s clapping, everybody’s singing.
Refrain
Verse 2
Everybody cries, everybody growls,
everybody jumps up and down, and everybody shouts.
Refrain
Verse 3
Everybody laughs, everybody smiles,
everybody likes to be liked,
but everybody wants to be first in line.
