Lyrics for "If We Have Each Other":
[Verse 1]
She was 19 with a baby on the way
On the East-side of the city, she was working every day
Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake
She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change
And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night to a one bedroom apartment
And when she'd turn on the light
She would sit down at the table
Tell herself that it's alright
She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive
She'd never be alone
Have someone to hold
And when nights were cold
She'd say
[Chorus]
The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
If we got each other, and that's all we have
I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
You should know I'll be there for you
When the world's not perfect
When the world's not kind
If we have each other then we'll both be fine
I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
You should know I'll be there for you
[Verse 2]
They were 90 and were living out their days on the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged
They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made
And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed
With each other, and though some times were hard
Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart
No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car
But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart
Even at the end, their love was stronger than the day that they first met
They say
[Chorus]
The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
If we got each other, and that's all we have
I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand
You should know I'll be there for you
When the world's not perfect
When the world's not kind
If we have each other then we'll both be fine
I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand
You should know I'll be there for you
[Bridge]
You should know I'll be there for you
[Verse 3]
I'm 23, and my folks are getting old
I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone
So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight
When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived
I know she'd never leave me
And I hate to see her cry
So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
I wrote this verse to tell her that
[Chorus]
The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
If we got each other, and that's all we have
I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand
You should know I'll be there for you
When the world's not perfect
When the world's not kind
If we have each other then we'll both be fine
I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand
You should know I'll be there for you
[Outro]
You should know I'll be there for you

This song hits different when you have siblings that you love and wish the best for them

Same. I'm the youngest with 2 older brothers and one older sister. I love them with all my heart ❤
🥲❤
Yeah I have siblings and I do love and wish the best for them

Perfect song I dedicate to my mom, my wife, and my sister.... The three most important women in my life!!!!
Thats sweet
@@sleepnow305333q
respect man
Damn…❤
Respect men❤
“The world’s not perfect, when the world’s not kind, if we have each other then we’ll both be fine” This rings true especially during 2020. Also the second verse always brings me to tears because it perfectly describes my grandparents
Same
I was reading your comment then I heard the second verse so I knew I had to comment right away!!
What a coincidence 😂
Btw I totally did not like my own comment 🤗 (I did)
god this is emotional
In a good way Lol
Yeah
I can tell from your pfp
HoW
HOW IS IT AMOSHINOL
*you should know i'll be there for you...*
I love this song like listened to it like 80 times it also relates to me and my sister
@@tyskullgamer3874 me too
Aww, so sweet and emotional 😢👌😍 I love the whole song from the bottom of my heart❤
Edit- Also, Thank you, We will be their for you too❤
“*...When The worlds not perfect, when the world’s or kind if we have each other than we’ll both be fine...”*
😂
I'm not 19 with a baby on the way or 90 with a soulmate, still the lyrics are so touching. I have a little brother and I always act real tough around him but when I listened to the last verse I started to bawl my eyes out. I didn't know he was THAT important to me...
This song made me cry happy tears when I heard, “I’ll be your brother and I’ll hold your hand.”
Me too I wish my brother was like that. But instead he hurts me emotionally.
@C.C_Afton0 Maybe try to talk to him. My brother is like that but that doesn't stop me from loving him. He is also a little on the weird side. But I have to talk him through things. We have been through so much together.
100%

@@emmachan3368 Ah...no, it is not healthy to love those who harm you...at least not at certain levels since we all harm each other at some point, even unintentionally
I love the sister part of the song
same

Ame
2:02 ahh this part made me cry 😭
My version- i'm 14 and my family's getting old I know they don't have forever and i'm scared to be alone so i'm thankful for my brother even though we fight a lot, when life wasn't easy he's the reason I survived. I know he'll never leave me and I hate to see him cry so I wrote this verse to tell him that i'm always by his side. I wrote this verse to tell him that i'm always by his side.
Nice😊
That's good😊
Yea true
Exactly the same for me
"the world's not perfect but it's not that bad, if we got each other and that's all we have" always going to dedicate that line to my brothers, fiancé and daughter.
It hits hard🥹♥️ I love it every word touches my heart💖🌹✨
lol this hits different for my family
❤b!hxbxbxhhsud
Its amazing how one song can make you realise how blessed you are. Loved it. 💞
Everytime i hear this i cry it touches my heart it's a beautiful song ❤
Yes.
Really like man u emotional
But i can understand why
me too dude. this song means so much to me. I've been through a lot.
Same I cry to many times to remebr
I like the verse “the worlds not perfect”
when high school wasn't easy she's the reason I survived..
hits hard I have a little sister she's the best in the world
OMG SAME😃
When he said about his sister😭❤️
Exactly
It’s the whole thing-
I love his voice .. I wish look Into his voice and understand the deep understanding of the song
I’m gonna cry 😭 this is such a beautiful song
I love the part for his sister it’s my favorite part❤️
That sister verse makes me think of my older brother
same dude. my brother's probably the reason i'm not failing school
Same here. He always puts me down but the other day we were talking and he said that he's only joking and he loves me and I went into my room and started crying he's never really said I love you to me so I was emotional
@@Phoebe_exe you guys have good brothers
My older brother treats me like I don't exist.
So sad 😢
Where are those Ninjas cutting onions coming from?
Lol
This song is for a mother, couple, and sister. How heartwarming😢
The last part made me cry,and made me think of my older sis. The people who got siblings are the most lucky people in the world
2 Things:
1. He really needs to make a song about the first story in this song (the teenage girl)
2. And for all of you young ladies, don't listen to this song on that week, you'll regret it... 😢
oops.
Oops
Oopsie.....
Why?
Oops
he has such a great voice and he makes such insperational songs
After 4 years,this is still amazing
Ofc😊
Ik
Ikr I relate so bad almost cry
Its not the lyrics and tunes that you love...but the feelings you have related with this song!!❤...Remember!! Memories and Feelings remain the same!! Whether its 4days or 4years🤐☺
Agreed ☺️🌟
My family cried of joy when they heard the song 😊😊😊😊😊 and i always listen 👂 to this song everyday at least 6 times I love this song I love how he loves his sister this much ❤️❤️😘😘

Hey, cheer up and whipe those tear's! You're not the only one. Stay happy and stay safe!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗❤️
It’s got me wanting to have a baby (I’m 15) don’t ask I won’t have one I’m too young obviously but I do want one
You know it hits different when you listen to this 2 times in a-row
It hits hard with full volume on headphones 😢
@@betty_privvxqtx yeah I did that to😂😂
did that to (full volume on headphones)
@@jericoemosi2480 it just hits different when you do that 😂
2 times?? man i listened to it countless times-
The verse about the mom and baby reminds me of single mom's 😥
Stay strong, y'all.
Strong comments
My boyfriend sings this to me when he calls me it always just melts my heart
Am i the only one that thinks of god through this song because he loves us and a ways will❤❤
The mother verse makes me feel like I have a mother! It's confronting I feel like she saids this to me while she's in heaven.
She died from cancer when I was 4... I don't remember her only that she had such beautiful blue eyes...like me...
I am sorry for your loss.. :(
I’m so sorry
May she RIP
I'm so sorry
This song is so special for me.....
I love my sisters more than anyone else....they always support me....
And my parents always quarrel.....I mostly spent my childhood hearing them quarrelling.... because of those I turned into an introvert person....I have less friend .....I can't easily get free or talk with others 😔
This song should never get old
this is so emotional dhsbab
Wow , even 4 yrs later it still hits different ❤
my parody starts at 0:55
When I'm, 90. With a limited amount of days, still in the very same city, the one where I was raised. Broken pictures on my wall, painful reminders that I've made. And my life was never easy, sometimes I wondered why I stayed. Broke forever, almost all the moments hard. I once met a girl that I loved, messed up, then she broke my heart. No, I don't bother with money to by any type of car. But I don't plan on travelling, cause moving on is always hard. Even, till the end. My thoughts will still be then, less then when we first met. I'll say...
This song makes u realise how important family is❤❤
This song saved my relationship❤❤

*Its amazing* ☺👌
I relate to every part of this. From having a baby at 19 to surviving my abusive home and high school thanks to my best friend im still intouch with but don't get to see and havnt seen in 12 tears. My life's been hard but I don't give up no matter what..
My sister is so important to but cause I don't show it
She was 19 with a baby on the way
On the East-side of the city, she was working every day
Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake
She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change
And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night
To a one-bedroom apartment, and when she'd turn on the light
She would sit down at the table, tell herself that it's alright
She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive
… She'd never be alone
Have someone to hold
And when nights were cold
She'd say
… The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
If we got each other, and that's all we have
I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
You should know I'll be there for you
When the world's not perfect
When the world's not kind
If we have each other, then we'll both be fine
I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
You should know I'll be there for you
… They were 90 and were living out their days
On the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged
They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made
And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed
With each other, and though some times were hard
Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart
No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car
But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart
… Even at the end
Their love was stronger than
The day that they first met
They'd say
… The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
If we got each other, and that's all we have
I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand
You should know I'll be there for you
When the world's not perfect
When the world's not kind
If we have each other, then we'll both be fine
I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand
You should know I'll be there for you
… You should know I'll be there for you
… I'm 23, and my folks are getting old
I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone
So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight
When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived
I know she'd never leave me and I hate to see her cry
So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
I wrote this verse to tell her that
… The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
If we got each other, and that's all we have
I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand
You should know I'll be there for you
When the world's not perfect
When the world's not kind
If we have each other, then we'll both be fine
I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand
You should know I'll be there for you
… You should know I'll be there for you
I litterally LOVE this song!

I have 4 brothers and one showed me the sibling part. It makes me feel like I'm actually appreciated
My parody starts at 0:00
[Alec Benjamin] I was 16, had depression felt misplaced. No one ever listened to me, spoken words couldn’t explain. Music became the being, where I could share all the pain. It’s the outlet I was needing to express myself today. I, wrote down lyrics that had been deprived, They were the words that once had been, once ignored now listened by. Everyone who felt enabled, to take pleasure in a lie. So they never saw my face until the scars could all but hide.
See no one’s ever told. That they’re a scapegoat. For someone’s cruel soul. Escape.
I’m just one person, and I hide my past. I’m not proud of other, parts of me I had. So I won’t be bothered, Trying to make friends. Betrayal is their only truth. Cause I’m just one person, paranoia high. With mistakes i cover, and nightmares inside. I just can’t be bothered, cause there’s no real friends. My trust always ends up abused.
When I'm, 90. With a limited amount of days, still in the very same city, the one where I was raised. Broken pictures on my wall, painful reminders that I've made. And my life was never easy, sometimes I wondered why I stayed. Broke forever, almost all the moments hard. I once met a girl that I loved, messed up, then she broke my heart.

Im just so used to being used.
It sounds cringy, I just turned 18 years old. And I thought life would be better but the progress has been slow. As an adult I’m just bitter, cause my youth is passing by. I thought greatness was easy, until I gave it a try. Now I’m scared I wont be seen watch life flash before my eyes.. So I wrote down in a letter hopefully before I die. I wrote in that same letter when I thought of suicide. I wrote in that same letter that…

Im just so used to being used.
That's actually so sad. This is a good parody though
this’s the most important and beautiful and emotional and necessary song i’ve ever heard.
when Elementary School wasn't easy, she's the reason I survive. I know she never leave me so I hate to see her cry and I wrote this song to tell her that I am always by your side🥺🥺🥺🥺🥹🥹🥹
That last verse tho.. I'm a mom and my teen son don't even acknowledge his younger sister - meanwhile, she adores him, she's his biggest fan ( but he's too cool to show that he loves her, at least till he knows that she really needs him). she played this song for me. Yep, there were tears 😢
I will dedicate this song to my cousin sister for being strong and being there for me ❤ My Dawn.
🌸...This is my new favorite song...It goes perfect with demon slayer daki and her brother’s backstories I literally cried...🌸
This reminds me of my Grandma 👵 who died 😭😭😭I,m gonna cry 😢 😭
This song is meant for me and my twin sister❤
The world's not perfect, but that's not that bad when we have each-other. Stay happy and stay safe!! ❤️❤️❤️
I literally played this song over and over again. It is that good. I am also very soo many ideas on how I can use this song in my videos!

I love this song ❤❤❤❤
My grandfather passed away recently and this song comforts me
I found this song on tiktok and I loved it so I Search it on CZcams and I love it
I’ve been listening to this song on repeat for 12 hours
Some people don't realise how lucky they are to be in the position they're in. This song makes me cry inside because it reminds me how blessed i am💕
And i know i sound cringey
😢 I almost cried hearing this song for the first time knowing that me and my sister fight a lot.
I am crying right now, listening this. No joke, this song is so emotional.
It’s just broke me down in tears you know it’s a good song when the most replayed area is the start
My sister has cancer and I sang this song to her and she was so happy god bless u Ava
I love my sister I would do anything for her even the small things make a difference one time we were getting smoothies and she dropped hers and almost had a mental break down from all the stress I immediately with out a second thought gave her mine and she stopped crying and gave me a big hug. Even the small things make a difference especially when she's already having a horrible day please treat your family with kindness before it's to late
I love the sister part soooo much💖💖😍
Beautiful
sibling anthem 🧡
As a girl with three brothers that last verse hits different!!!!
I heard this song on the radio and was emedetly my favorite song
Listened to this song on loop when I was pregnant ❤️ now I got a gorgeous 5 month old baby girl🥰
this song made me cry when it got to the grandparents verse bc my grandma died 1 week ago and she was a lovely lady and it just reminded me of my grandma and grandads relationship xx LOVED THE SONG XOXOXOX
Sorry for ur loss
When your happy you enjoy the song.
When your dad you understand the lyrics.
this is Just BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING,and NEEDS TO BE KNOWN MORE and HEART TOUCHING!!
I have six kids, and my daughter loves this song, and she showed me it, and now I sing it to her.😢😅
This song is one of my favs
Mother lover brother, I love how he tells a story
It's so good
I luv this song sooo much I keep hearing it again
I love this song so much now we are in 2023 and still love it
The first time I heard this song I cried 😭it’s so beautiful
I feel like different parts hit differently depending on how you are, to me "The worlds not perfect but its not that bad" hits me the hardest
Mister alec is a true story teller . Happy i was here way before
as a girl with three brothers that last verse hits different!!!!
