[Martin Luther King Jr.:]
One day
This nation will rise up
Rise up
[TobyMac:]
There's a million reasons to hesitate
With a history that’s filled with hate
Have we ever been United States, I wonder
So who can blame us for the doubt
Forgive me if I think out loud
But when justice just won't come around
You wonder
[TobyMac & Aaron Cole:]
I was born with two dirty hands
Something my daddy didn't understand
Something his daddy didn’t understand
So it starts with me
I was raised with distrust in my heart
Mama told me we're worlds apart
Her mama told her don't even bother
So it starts with me
'Cause we can be free, yeah
Yeah I know that
Let's try to fix the things
That's been broke down
'Cause we can be free, yeah
Yeah I know that
And it starts with me
'Cause we can be free, yeah
Yeah I know that
Let’s try to fix the things
That’s been broke down
'Cause we can be free, yeah
Yeah I know that
And it starts with me
[Aaron Cole:]
With a heavy road in front of us
And a system that has lost our trust
Can we ever find the strength
To rise from ashes
In looking at the heart of it
The healing really can’t begin
Without confession, and forgiveness, and compassion

Can you feel it in your heart tonight
Love is gonna move the needle
I can feel it in my heart tonight, oh yeah

[TobyMac & Aaron Cole:]
I need you, you need me
One more step, we're almost free
Said I need you, and you need me
Father give us eyes to see
Hey, aye, give us eyes to see

This dream could set us free
This dream of you and me
We're one choice from together
And it starts with me
This dream could set us free
This dream of you and me
We're one choice from together
And it starts with me
