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!
