Finn decides it's time for him to take his turn. "Um, Mr. Schue?" he asks. "I don't think I really got the assignment." he admitted, embarrassed.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, everyone's had these really great songs and mine…well, it's just a song I heard once and thought about my mom and then…" he trails off, running his hands through his hair. It's one of his nervous ticks.
"Finn, I'm sure you'll be great!" Rachel encourages.
"Yeah, no way you get to get off that easy." Artie teases.
"Fine." He sighs. "But no one gets to make fun of me for this."
He closes his eyes before he starts to sing. "Us against the world, against the world. Us against the world, against the world. You and I, we've been at it so long, we still got the strongest fire. You and I, still know how talk, know how to walk that wire. Sometimes I feel like the world is against me, the sound of your voice, baby, that's what saves me. When we're together I feel so invincible. Cause it's us against the world, you and me against them all. If you're listening to these words know that we are standing tall. I don't ever see the day that I won't catch you when you fall. Cause it's us against the world tonight. There'll be days, we'll be on different sides, but that doesn't last too long. We find ways to get it on track, we know how to turn back on. Sometimes I feel I can't keep it together, then you hold me close and you make it better. When I'm with you I can feel so unbreakable. Cause it's us against the world, you and me against them all. If you're listening to these words know that we are standing tall. I don't ever see the day that I won't catch you when you fall. Cause it's us against the world tonight. We're not gonna break cause we both still believe. We know what we've got and we've got what we need alright. We're doing something right. Cause it's us against the world, you and me against them all. If you're listening to these words know that we are standing tall. I don't ever see the day that I won't catch you when you fall. Cause it's us against the world tonight. Yeah, it's us against the world, baby, us against the world tonight. Us against the world, against the world. Us against the world, against the world."
It was Matt who spoke up first. "I think you got the assignment spot on." There was lots of nodding.
"Finn, can I make a suggestion?" Mr. Schue asked. Finn nodded. "Sing that to your mom."
"Carole would love it." Kurt agreed.
