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 looking back don't bother We're black and white America In nineteen sixty three my father married A black woman And when they walked the street they were in danger Look what you've done But they just kept on walking forward hand in 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 looking 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 looking back don't bother We're black and white America We've waited so long We've waited so long 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 looking 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 looking 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 looking back don't bother We're black and white America Oh, yeah Black and white America Gonna keep moving forward, oh Blow Harold!
