ONE
We got to get it together
People are dying
Blood is being spilled
All over the highway
Backyards across suburbia
Where kids used to be safe
Are now being turned
Into silent shallow graves
I've heard of burying the hatchet
But not in someones back
Respect used to be given
But you can't give what you lack
Wake up!
No longer be pawns of the media
Taking in all
The dirty lies they feed ya
Love your neighbor
As yourself
No longer offer up
Your soul as something for sale
We all have blood
Coursing through our veins
Just because our skin's a different color
Doesn't mean we're not the same
We all live
Under the same sun
Let's put our differences aside
And unite to become ONE
