I'm Not Demanding (Part 1) |
How long will it take for people to learn |
That they aren’t free while their brothers are slaves? |
Everybody’s got to lend a helping hand |
If we expect to walk together in this proud land |
People, they are born, they’re all the same |
They got pride, and they all have shame |
They all had heartaches, and they all have pain |
Heh, looka here |
Oh, I’m dictatin', and I’m not demandin' |
All I want for everybody is peace and understandin' |
We must all come together with our back to the wheel |
And all walk tall, let no man have to kneel |
Be it black, white, yellow or green |
If we all do this, then there will be no scene, huh |
Oh, I’m not dictatin', and I’m not demandin' |
All I want for everybody is peace and understandin' |
And understandin', yes siree, for you and me |
I’m not dictatin', oh no |
I’m not tellin', I’m not tellin' |
Yes, I’m askin', and I’m beggin' |
Please, understand me |
Please, understand me |
I don’t wanna fight, just wanna do what’s right |
Please, let me in, let me be your friend |
Everybody, everybody, be it black, white or green |
There will never never be… |
