One Nation
Maybe we’re not the same color. Maybe we’re not the same race. Maybe we don’t have the same beliefs or live in the same kind of place. Maybe we think we’re too different. Maybe that’s simply not true. Maybe I also have hopes and dreams, and maybe I share them with you, share with you, oh! (CHORUS) We are one nation, yes, we are one land! Together in freedom, united we stand! Oh! We are one nation, yes, we are one land! Together in freedom, united we stand! Oh. We are a rainbow of people. We have our own history. We share a nation with common bonds, a nation where people are free. We know that freedom is precious. We know the cost is extreme. We share commitment and gratitude; we share our American Dream, share our Dream, oh! Chorus X2 We are, we are, we are one nation! 3X's Ah! One nation! |
