[Verse 1]
Young and wild with a madness
I would not listen
I thought I knew just exactly
The way life would be, you see
You came along and you showed me
Just what I was missing
You opened my eyes with your sweet love
Oh, then I could see

[Chorus]
They said it would not last
We proved them wrong
We learned to fly above the storm
Because we've always known that we belong
And we are better together
If we got our backs against the wall
Somehow we survive through it all
Knowing I will be there if you should fall
Oh, we're better together, all right, yeah yeah

[Verse 2]
Running alone, I was searching
While you were there waiting
Lessons in love I was learning
Were all right with me, you see
You changed my world and you gave me
Aw, the kiss you were saving
Ooh, we had each other to fight for
Ooh, when no one believed

[Chorus]
They said it would not last
We proved them wrong
We learned to fly above the storm
Cause we have always known that we belong
And we are better together
If we got our backs against the wall
Somehow we survive through it all
Knowing I will be there if you should fall
Yeah, we are better together

[Verse 3]
Ooh it gets so lonely out there
Oh, playing my solitaire
Oh, Mustang
All right
Wait a minute
Young and wild with a madness
This time I listened, baby
You opened my eyes with your sweet love
Ooh, yeah, you set me free

[Chorus]
They said it would not last
We proved them wrong
We learned to fly above the storm
Cause we have always known where we belong
Yeah we are better together
Oh, if we got our backs against the wall
Somehow we survive through it all
Knowing I will be there if you should fall
Oh we are better together
So much better, girl, we are better together

[Outro]
Better together, all right
Listen
Let us get together, let us get together, all right
Let us get together, well
Let us get together, let us get together right now
It is just, it is just better that way

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
