| 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… |
