One, two, three, four
Some people think they can make it on their own
They don't need to depend on anyone
They build themselves a fortress and they live in it alone
Full of stockpiled food and booby-traps and guns
But accidents can happen, you get sick, you get hurt
You might throw your back out falling down the stairs
And the ones who lived aren't the ones who prepared
The ones who live are the ones who care
You're here 'cause someone cared for you
And made you part of their community
And that person--someone cared for them two
And that's why they're here with you and me
Nobody can make it on their own
Life is something precious that we share
And the ones who lived aren't the ones who prepared
The ones who live are the ones who care
We watch each other's backs
We scratch each other's backs
We never stab each other in the back
We laugh with one another
We cry with one another
We die alone if we can't learn
To live with one another
Nobody can make it on their own
Life is something precious that we share
And the ones who lived aren't the ones who prepared
The ones who live are the ones who care
So find someone special and make sure they're aware
You're only here because they cared
You're only here because they cared
