United We Stand Lyrics

{Intro}

There's nowhere in the world that I would rather be
Than with you my love

And there's nothing in the world that I would rather see
Than your smile my love

For united we stand
Divided we fall

And if our backs should ever be against the wall
We'll be together, together, you and I

For united we stand
Divided we fall

And if our backs should ever be against the wall
We'll be together, together, you and I

And if the world about you falls apart my love
Then I'll still be here
And if the going gets too hard along the way
Just you call, I'll hear


For united we stand
Divided we fall
And if our backs should ever be against the wall
We'll be together, together, you and I
For united we stand
Divided we fall

And if our backs should ever be against the wall
We'll be together, together, you and I

For united we stand....

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
