[Intro] Oh-oh, mmm We gotta make a change [Verse 1] They wanna take us back to '63 Separate bathrooms is what they wanna see Different stores for you and me That ain't right, can't you see? Moving backwards instead of moving on All the progress that we made is almost gone Trying to divide us every single day But we ain't gonna let them have their way [Chorus] Don't let them separate us now We fought too hard to let them tear us down Different colors, still the same Won't let nobody play that hateful game Stand together, that's what we do Black and white, me and you Won't go back to yesterday 'Cause unity's the only way [Verse 2] They think they slick with their new plans Trying to split up this promised land Different schools and different rules Think we stupid, think we fools But we see right through their scheme Trying to kill Martin's dream Time to stand up, time to fight 'Cause divided ain't what's right [Pre-Chorus] We've come too far To let them break our hearts Gotta take a stand United hand in hand [Chorus] Don't let them separate us now We fought too hard to let them tear us down Different colors, still the same Won't let nobody play that hateful game Stand together, that's what we do Black and white, me and you Won't go back to yesterday 'Cause unity's the only way [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Time to rise up (Rise up!) Show them what we're made of Can't turn back the clock on me Together we'll stay free This ain't about black or white This is about what's wrong and right Open up your eyes and see Together is how we're meant to be [Chorus] Don't let them separate us now We fought too hard to let them tear us down Different colors, still the same Won't let nobody play that hateful game Stand together, that's what we do Black and white, me and you Won't go back to yesterday 'Cause unity's the only way [Instrumental] [Outro] [Spoken Announcement] Come on y'all! (Woo!) We gotta fix this! (Yeah!) Together we stand! (That's right!) United we stay! (Come on!) [Fade Out]
