(Verse 1) You say that racism's a ghost of the past A battle that was fought and won at last But the headline screams a different tale Behind the justice, we still fail It never went a- way, it just went into hiding A new dis- guise, a clever play But the same old truth under- lying. **(Chorus)** This land can't claim it's "United" true Not while the many are so few Not while the dream is stained with lies We see the cracks before our eyes This mission calls for every- one This fight is far from being done No, this land can't claim it's "United" true... Until we come to- gether, me and you. Only then will we be free. **(Verse 2)** Before you climb your soapbox high And tell the world you don't deny The weight that you have never known The seeds of hate this land has sown Just step into our shoes and see The weight that shapes this land for me For those with brown skin, it's still un- fair, a battle never won. (Chorus) This land can't claim it's "United" true Not while the many are so few Not while the dream is stained with lies We see the cracks before our eyes This mission calls for every- one This fight is far from being done No, this land can't claim it's "United" true... Until we come to- gether, me and you. Only then will we be free. (Bridge) From Martin Luther King's resounding dream! To Corky's fervent, burning theme! The cry for justice rings so clear! But e- quality's yet to appear! It's in the air we breathe each day! This brokenness, forever growing! This system's cracks have long been showing! (Final Chorus) This land can't claim it's "United" true! No, not while the many are so few! Not while the dream is stained with lies! We see the cracks before our eyes! This mission calls for every-one! This fight is far from being done! No, this land can't claim it's "United" true... Until we come to- gether, me and you! Until we come to- gether, me and you! (Outro) Unbound by chains... of his- tory... Unbound by chains... Until we're free... (Whispered) ...Until we're free.
