United we are

United you and I 
We are the same 
While divided some may fight 
But in these days of uncertainty 
We will hold on to what we know 
For ourselves 

United you and I 
Will soon no longer be 
For that was a day 
We chose to leave 
But will soon regret 

And united you and I 
I wish we could stay 
But if united we may stand now 
I will fall by myself 
Not taking anyone down besides me 
Holding myself to my faults 
And leaving you with only the triumphs 
Of a past day

    I am not a musician
