(Verse 1)
Stand up for what you believe in
Voices rising, loud and clear
Immigrants are humans, deserve respect
No matter how they got here
We look at the history, look at the soil
And understand the truth of the command
From the coastlines to the prairie
Nobody here is on stolen land
(Chorus)
Oh, America used to be good
The land of the free, they said
Where everyone would rejoice together
And walk where the brave have led
A place where everyone could unite
Despite their differences and race
Bringing back the light
To this sacred place
(Verse 2)
Please shield the black, and treat them as equals
Let justice roll down like the rain
Please shield the browns, keep them from harm
And lift up the ones in pain
Just because you’re white, it doesn’t mean a privilege
That puts another person down
Everyone is human, every soul has rights
In every city, in every town
(Chorus)
Oh, America used to be good
The land of the free, they said
Where everyone would rejoice together
And walk where the brave have led
A place where everyone could unite
Despite their differences and race
Bringing back the light
To this sacred place
(Bridge)
Let us pray for the brokenhearted
Let us lift our voice and sigh
That no one else is taken from their families
No more tears to cry
We can do better, we can be better
If we just take a stand
(Chorus)
Oh, America used to be good
The land of the free, they said
Where everyone would rejoice together
And walk where the brave have led
A place where everyone could unite
Despite their differences and race
Bringing back the light
To this sacred place
(Outro)
Everyone is human...
All humans have rights...
Stand up for what you believe in...
(Fade out)
