Couplet 1

There's a million reasons to hesitate
There's 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

Pré refrain

I was born with two dirty hands
Somethin' my daddy
Didn’t understand
Somethin' his daddy
Didn't understand
So it starts with me
And 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

Refrain

'Cause we can be free
Yeah yeah I know that
Let's try to fix the things
That's been broke down
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
We can be free
Yeah yeah I know that
And it starts with me

Couplet 2

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 lookin’ at the heart of it
The healing really can't begin
Without confession
And forgiveness
And compassion

Pré refrain

I was born with two dirty hands
Somethin' my daddy
Didn’t understand
Somethin' his daddy
Didn't understand
So it starts with me
And 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

Refrain

'Cause we can be free
Yeah yeah I know that
Let's try to fix the things
That's been broke down
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
We can be free
Yeah yeah I know that
And it starts with me

Pont

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

Pont

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

Couplet 4

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

Refrain

'Cause we can be free
Yeah yeah I know that
Let's try to fix the things
That's been broke down
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
We can be free
Yeah yeah I know that
And it starts with me

Refrain modifié

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