    Story Behind the Song
    Years ago I heard all the deceased reffered to as the "majority" as there are more of those dead than are currently alive.
    A while ago a friend of mine took sick over Thanksgiving and died that Xmas eve.
    That occasion was the motivation for this and another song called "You Will Awaken"

    Lyrics
    Join the Majority
    ăMichael Strasser

    Out of Macedonia many years ago
    Young King Alexander came to conquer his know world
    He was a hero to his soldiers: A scourge upon his foes
    But nothing separates them now. They all had to go.

    And they have, joined the Majority. Joined the Majority
    They’re in the Majority today
    Now no longer do they separate the vanquished from the great
    Since they joined the majority one day

    Nefertiti, she was a queen with beauty so renowned
    She had slaves to wait upon her and to hand to her, her gown
    But the difference now between the two: who waited who was served.
    It matters not now in the least they were called and yes they heard

    And they have, joined the Majority. Joined the Majority
    They’re in the Majority today
    Now no longer do they separate the beautiful from the plain
    Since they joined the majority one day.

    Sir Isaac Newton, he changed the universe one day
    With his Basic Laws of Motion he began to erase
    Years of superstition and of ignorant belief
    But like the apple he saw fall he too was released

    And he has joined the majority, Joined the Majority
    He’s with the majority today.
    Now no longer does he speculate, calculate or equate
    Since he joined the majority one day

    And we here in the present, relatively we number few
    Yet we tend to isolate ourselves into nasty little groups
    We magnify our difference and call each other names
    Conveniently forgetting in the end we are the same

    And we will Join the Majority. Join the Majority
    We will be in the Majority one day
    Then no longer will we separate into ethnic groups or nations states
    When we Join the Majority one day.
