Lyrics

The first man to die, for the flag we now hold high Was a black man The ground where we stand, with the flag held in our hand Was first the red man's Guide of a ship on the first Columbus trip Was a brown man The railroads for trains, came on tracking that was laid By the yellow man We pledge allegiance all our lives To the magic colors, red, blue and white But we all must be given the liberty that we defend For with justice not for all men, history will repeat again It's time we learned This world was made for all men Check it Heart surgery was first done successfully By a black man Friendly man who died but helped the pilgrims to survive Was a red man Farmworkers rights were lifted to new heights By a brown man Incandescent light was invented to give sight By the white man We pledge allegiance all our lives To the magic colors, red, blue and white But we all must be given the liberty that we defend For with justice not for all men, history will repeat again It's time we learned This world was made for all men Hear me out Oh, now I know the birthday of a nation Is a time when a country celebrates But as your hand touches your heart Remember we all played a part In America to help that banner wave First clock to be made in America was created By a black man, ha-ha Scout who used no chart, helped to lead Lewis and Clark Was a red woman Use of martial arts in our country got its start By a yellow man And the leader with a pen signed his name to free all men Was a white man We pledge allegiance all our lives To the magic colors, red, blue and white But we all must be given the liberty that we defend For with justice not for all men, history will repeat again It's time we learned This world was made for all men World is made for all in This world was made for all men Oh-oh, was made for all men God saved his world for all men, yeah All people, all babies All children, all colors All races, this world's for you And me This world, my world Your world, everybody's world This world, their world Our world, this world was made for all men Who was the first man to set foot on the North Pole?

Harvey Williams Cushing, a white man Who was the man who helped design the nation's capitol Made the first clock to give time in America, and wrote the first almanac? Benjamin Banneker, a black man Who was the legendary hero who helped establish the League of Iroquois? Hiawatha, a red man Who is the leader of the first macrobiotic center in America? Michio Kushi, a yellow man Who was the founder of the City of Chicago in 1772? Jean Baptiste, a black man Who was one of the organizers of the American Indian Movement?
