My favorite lyric: "It doesn't matter who you love, all that matters is you love"

edit: three years later and just came back to say this will always be amazing ♡

[FKAkingsley]

Thank you for doing this and letting us all lend a hand. So touching to see this come together!!!

989 people's eyes were so watery from tears that they couldn't see and they accidentally hit the dislike button

[savannastebbins]

I'm so proud of Troye and Connor for participating in this, as well as every other singer and the people writing the lyrics. It's really inspiring seeing people I look up to doing things like this.

[officialbradlee]

Proud to be apart of this <33

Let's unite in LOVE!

[tutu]

Britneys voice is a angel of love. ❤️✨

[arella]

A year after what happened in Orlando and this song still hits me hard in so many different ways. The lyric "If a million hands can make a wall, a million hands can break it down" is so relevant to what we live like today. We will not be silenced, and we will not be scared. Rest in peace, to all the lives lost on that day..

[amymarieg]

Beautiful video for a beautiful message. Proud to be a part of this and SPREAD THE LOVE!!

[WHATTHEBUCKSHOW]

This is beautiful. I am so grateful to be a part of it.
Love, Buck

[rosemariejohnson]

I just don't understand it seems ridiculous to me, why can't two boys be in love, why can't two girls be in love, why can't we be pansexual, why can't we be not straight, why can't we be a boy, why can't we be a girl, why can't we be a gender, why can't we be accepted? there's nothing wrong with being a part of the LGBTQ+ community because its called being human. racist people, homophobic people, sexist people all need to wake up and see how happy we could be as a universe if their was no hate to bring us down nobody should have to cost their lives because their in the lgbt+ communtiy, nobody should be scared of what might happen to them because their in the lgbt+. parents shouldn't disown/ decline their child/ren because of who they are are. we should love each other no matter how different they are to us. it makes me so angry and upset to think we can't be accepted or are seen as a target or not normal. the world needs peace not hate

[brookedowling]

With all this nerve, how did we get this numb?

[fudgers]

[Verse 1: Britney Spears + Gwen Stefani]
Can hold a gun
And hold your heart
Can put out fires
And make 'em start
Skin and bones
And flesh and blood
With all this nerve
How did we get this numb

[Pre-Chorus: Meghan Trainor + Troye Sivan]
Cus they can hurt
Or they can heal
They can give back
Or they can steal
They can break the world
Or they can change it too

[Chorus: All Together]
Ooh hands
Hands
Woooo hands
Oh hands
Cause they can love
Or they can take
They can fight up
Until they save
They can break the world
They can change it too
Ooh hands

[Verse 2: Selena Gomez + Kacey Musgraves]
Doesn't matter
Who you love
All that matters
Is your love
I've been watching news
And seeing all this hate
Tell me is it wrong
To want a little change

[Pre-Chorus: Mary J. Blige]
They can hurt
Or they can heal
They can give back
Or they can steal
They can break the world
Or they can change it too

[Chorus: All Together led by Jason Derulo]
Ooh hands
Hands
Woooo hands
Oh hands
Cause they can love
Or they can take
They can fight up
Until they save
They can break the world
They can change it too
Ooh hands

[Post-Chorus: Led by Imagine Dragons]
If a million hands can build a wall
A million hands can break it down
If a million hands can build a wall
A million hands can break it down
Ooooh

[Bridge: Jennifer Lopez + Britney Spears]
Can hold a gun
And hold your heart
Can put out fires
And make 'em start
I've been watching news
And seeing all this hate
Tell me is it wrong
To want a little change

[Chorus: Adam Lambert & Tyler Glenn + P!NK & MNEK]
Ooh hands
Hands
Woooo hands
Oh hands
Cause they can love
Or they can take
They can fight up
Until they save
They can break the world
They can change it too
Ooh hands

[Post-Chorus: Led by Imagine Dragons]
If a million hands can build a wall
A million hands can break it down
If a million hands can build a wall
A million hands can break it down
Ooooh

[Outro: RuPaul + (Mary Lambert) + Nate Ruess + Together]
Just take my hand baby
Everybody say love
(All that matters is your love)
(Change it or break it)
(They can love or they can take it, take it all)
If a million hands can build a wall
A million hands can break it down
If a million hands can build a wall
A million hands can break it down
Ooooh
