0:00One day (One day, one day, one day, one day)
0:02This nation will rise up (Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up)
0:07Rise up (Rise up, rise up)
0:09There's a million reasons to hesitate
0:12With a history that’s filled with hate
0:14Have we ever been United States?
0:16I wonder (oh, oh, oh)
0:19So who can blame us for the doubt
0:21Forgive me if I think out loud
0:23But when justice just won't come around
0:26I wonder (oh, oh, oh)
0:28I was born with two, dirty hands
0:31Something my daddy didn't understand
0:33Something his daddy didn’t understand
0:35So it starts with me
0:37I was raised with distrust, in my heart
0:40Momma told me we're in worlds apart
0:42Her momma told her don't even bother
0:45So it starts with me
0:47'Cause we can be free, yeah, yeah I know that
0:50Let's try to fix the things that's been broke down
0:52'Cause we can be free, yeah, yeah I know that
0:55And it starts with me
0:56'Cause we can be free, yeah, yeah I know that
0:59Let’s try to fix the things that’s been broke down
1:01'Cause we can be free, yeah, yeah I know that
1:04And it starts with me
1:07With a heavy road in front of us
1:08And a system that has lost our trust
1:11Can we ever find the strength to rise from ashes?
1:17And looking at the heart of it
1:18The healing nearly can’t begin
1:20Without confession and forgiveness and compassion
1:25I was born with two, dirty hands
1:28Something my daddy didn't understand
1:30Something his daddy didn't understand
1:33So it starts with me
1:35I was raised with distrust, in my heart
1:37Momma told me we're in worlds apart
1:40Her momma told her don’t even bother
1:42So it starts with me
1:45'Cause we can be free, yeah, yeah I know that
1:47Let's try to fix the things that's been broke down
1:49'Cause we can be free, yeah, yeah I know that
1:52And it starts with me
1:54'Cause we can be free, yeah, yeah I know that
1:57Let's try to fix the things that's been broke down
1:59'Cause we can be free, yeah, yeah I know that
2:02And it starts with me
2:04One day (One day, one day, one day, one day)
2:07This nation will rise up (Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up)
2:12Rise up (Rise up, rise up)
2:14Can you feel it in your heart tonight?
2:16Love is gonna move the needle
2:18I can feel it in my heart tonight
2:21Oh yeah
2:23Can you feel it in your heart tonight?
2:26Love is gonna move the needle
2:28I can feel it in my heart tonight
2:30Oh yeah

2:35(Can you feel it in your heart tonight?)
2:36Love is gonna move the needle
2:37(Love is gonna move the needle)
2:38I can feel it in my heart tonight
2:40(I can feel it in my heart tonight)
2:43I need you, you need me
2:45One more step, almost free (Almost free, almost free)
2:53Say I need you, you need me
2:55Father give us eyes to see (Hey, aye, aye, give us eyes to see)
3:02'Cause we can be free, yeah, yeah I know that
3:04Let's try to fix the things that's been broke down
3:06'Cause we can be free, yeah, yeah I know that
3:09And it starts with me

3:14Let's try to fix the things that's been broke down
3:16'Cause we can be free, yeah, yeah I know that
3:19And it starts with me
3:20This language that I speak
3:23This dream of you and me
3:26We're one choice from together
3:28And it starts with me
3:30This dream could set us free
3:33This dream of you and me
3:35We're one choice from together
3:38It starts with me
3:47Now is the time
