It's not so black or white, it's not just red or blue
Gotta get this ship up right before she breaks in two
A Goodman stands his ground, backin' up the hallowed halls
Sense of urgency around, blood weepin' from her walls
I pledge to our republic as she sho'nuff, still stands
Despite the effort of anyone's trespass on her sacred land
It's not so black or white, it's not just red or blue
Gotta get this ship up right before she breaks in two
With all our colors and hues, we make the strongest, the strongest of glues
That'll keep this nation from fallin' apart
It ain't the president who says who'll win or lose
Gag those jesters from the courts, they think of us the fool
If we go colorblind
Fifty States of Gray, then there'll come a time
We'll get past these stormy days
It's not just black or white, it's not just red or blue
Gotta get this ship up right before she breaks in two
With all our colors and hues, we make the strongest, the strongest of glues
That'll keep this nation from tearin' apart
Hunkered deep in a foxhole, we won't advance to the crossroad
You know the truth lies deep within our soul
Cause it's not so black or white, it's not just red or blue
Gotta get this ship up right before she breaks in two
With all our colors and hues, we make the strongest, the strongest of glues
That'll keep this nation from fallin' apart
Together as one, there's nothing that can stop the beat of the
American heart
