Black and White America

Martin Luther King, he had a vision

And that's a fact

He died so we could see that was his mission

So don't look back

There is no division, don't you understand?

The future looks as though it has come around

And maybe we have finally found our common ground

We're the children of one father

If you're lookin' back, don't bother

We're black and white America

In 1963, my father married a black woman

And when they walked the streets, they were in danger

Look what you've done

But they just kept on walkin' forward, hand and hand

The future looks as though it has come around

And maybe we have finally found our common ground

We're the children of one father

If you're lookin' back, don't bother

We're black and white America

The future looks as though it has come around

And maybe we have finally found our common ground

We're the children of one father

If you're lookin' back, don't bother

We're black and white America

We've waited so long

We've waited so long

Black and white America

There is no division, don't you understand?

The future looks as though it has come around

And maybe we have finally found our common ground

We're the children of one father

If you're lookin' back, don't bother

We're black and white America

The future looks as though it has come around

And maybe we have finally found our common ground

We're the children of one father

If you're lookin' back, don't bother

We're black and white America

The future looks as though it has come around

And maybe we have finally found our common ground

We're the children of one father

If you're lookin' back, don't bother

We're black and white America

Oh, yeah, black and white America

Gonna keep it movin' forward, oh
