I don’t understand
What’s happened to this land
Do we have a soul
Have our hearts always been this cold

You talk about freedom
You talk about rights
Then you take them from another
And convince yourself you’re right

We don’t need a wall
We need a big shiny mirror
To reflect upon
All our petty fears

Every mother’s tears are the same as any other
I don’t give a Damn if you’re afraid other cultures
Diversity is what can make us great
If we learn to accept and reject the hate

I won’t stand down
I will stand up and fight
I won’t fall in line
I’ll fight for what is right

Waving your flag don’t make you free
And pledging your allegiance won’t make it be
The only path to freedom is to stand up and shout
Fighting for rights for those without.

Waving your flag don’t make you free
And pledging your allegiance won’t make it be
The only path to freedom is to stand up and shout
Voices of reason driving hate out.

I see you praying to your God
Gotta say I find it a little odd
That you reject the words of your teacher
The ones about love and being your brothers keeper

Take a look around
What do you see
Division in our hearts
Too much pain and misery

And tell me honestly
Do you really want to see
A world where everyone’s the same
Then who would you blame

Love a little more
Judge a little less
Open up your mind
While we still have a little time

Every mother’s tears are the same as any others
I don’t give a damn if you’re afraid of other cultures
Diversity is what can make us great
If we learn to accept and reject the hate

I won’t stand down
I will stand up and fight
I won’t fall in line
I’ll fight for what is right

Waving your flag don’t make you free
And pledging your allegiance won’t make it be The only path to freedom is to stand up and shout Fighting for rights for those without.

Waving your flag don’t make you free
And pledging your allegiance won’t make it be
The only path to freedom is to stand up and shout
Voices of reason driving hate out.

And do you honestly believe
That if someone else has equality
That it affects your rights
Does it keep you up at night

Well I’m sending out my love to my brothers and my sisters
Ones that believe that all of us are equals
Black, brown, yellow, the red and the white
Those are the colors of the banner we should fly

Love a little more
Judge a little less
Open up your mind
While we still have a little time

Every mother’s tears are the same as any others
I don’t give a damn if you’re afraid of other cultures
Diversity is what can make us great
If we learn to accept and reject the hate

I won’t stand down
I will stand up and fight
I won’t fall in line
I’ll fight for what is right

Waving your flag don’t make you free
And pledging your allegiance won’t make it be
The only path to freedom is to stand up and shout
Fighting for rights for those without.

Waving your flag don’t make you free
And pledging your allegiance won’t make it be
The only path to freedom is to stand up and shout
Voices of reason driving hate out.
