"Come Together Now" is a charity single made to benefit the victims of the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake and Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The song was written by Sharon Stone, Damon Sharpe, Mark Feist, and Denise Rich and released on November 21, 2005.
The song's origin was an inspiration by the magnitude of human suffering and tragedy that touched so many lives after the tsunami disaster in December 2004. In Hurricane Katrina's wake Stone, Sharpe, Feist, and Rich used the song as a combined effort to raise funds for the two global tragedies. Feist and Sharpe also served as producers. Mark Feist also wrote the musical arrangement.
Come Together Now
One World, One Love, We can make a difference
Every time it's a tragedy, we all break down
Gotta stay strong, can't loose faith now
When I got the news, I was LA bound
We all weathered the storm, everybody safe now
You can make a difference, got to start today
Seen hopes and dreams get washed away
Never stop the faith
And on behalf of myself and Dr. Dre
I pause to say, we love you
Just when it seems that all your hope is gone
And pain is all that you can feel
When there's no place for you to run or hide
Just remember this one thing
There's always someone there for you
Who really feels for you and cares
So this is what we've gotta do (now it's time)
Come together
Now's the time to lend a hand
Come together
Only then we'll understand
Reaching out can make a difference just do all we can
Calling every woman every man
To come together now
Sometimes I pray to the Lord, but I feel like he don't answer
Till an angel came from the heavens, told me it'll be better
After the storm, it must get calm
So let's all just get together and just sing this song
We can't let another moment pass
Or another face without a name
If we give to them what's in our hearts
So dreams are not that far away
There's always someone there for you
Who really feels for you and cares
So this is what we've gotta do (now it's time)
Come together
Now's the time to lend a hand
Come together
Only then we'll understand
Reaching out can make a difference just do all we can
Calling every woman every man
To come together now
There's a hero deep inside
Together we can do what's right
Be the inspiration, help to change somebody else's life
We are brothers we are sisters
After all is said and done
We are meant to be as one
Come together
Now's the time to lend a hand
Just come together
Only then we'll understand
Reaching out can make a difference just do all we can
Calling every woman every man
Yes so we need to
You should know that
Oh you may cry late at night
But that's alright go ahead
And cry
We're meant to be as one
Only then we'll understand
We only got one life to live
So pave the way and make it right for kids
So many of us out here walking blind
Talking blind
I ain't lying
This the truth, not a rhyme
More love, less hate
To the people out there with no where to stay
Chingy got a heart and in it there's a place
Everybody come together
Be who you are, Say what you feel
Because those who mind, don't matter
And those who matter, don't mind
We as a people are an unstoppable force
And through determination and dedication
We can weather the storm
We are the people, the voices of this world
One Love
