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 our father,
if you’re looking back Obama
We’re black and white America
In 1963 my father married - a black woman
And when they walked the streets
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 our father,
if you’re looking back Obama
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 our father,
if you’re looking back Obama
We’re black and white America
We’ve waited so long
We’ve waited so long
Black and white America
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 our father,
if you’re looking back Obama
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 our father,
if you’re looking back Obama
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 our father,
if you’re looking back Obama
We’re black and white America
Black and white America
Gonna keep a-moving forward
