People don't change at least that's what you tell yourself
So you lock them up right where they are and put the keys up on the shelf
Stuck in your ways, follow whoever promises better days
And higher pay and more play (Yeah)
You talk about how people are so divided
But the conviction of what you believe in is still undecided
Split personality, on different pages with your own conscience
You're open minded but if someone believes different then its all nonsense
We are a nation too divisible
We're so scared to say what we believe we become virtually invisible
We're inclusive but ill make sure you're reclusive when speaking your mind
I value what you said but in a truer sense I don't
Hiding behind our iPhones, we stay low
Everyone else is an ignorant idiot asshole, why? Cause we say so
I don't think a country can stand under this weight though
I don't think we can stand under this weight though
We are one, we are one, we are one
We are one, we are one, we are one
We are one, we are one, we are one
We are one, we are one, we are one
Here's a word to our nation
Wake up, get up, you're a part of your own solution
Be relentless in your pursuit of the truth
Get involved in your communities and turn off the news
Don't believe everything you see
Fear is a good dictator but with it you'll never be free
Stop trying to change everyone else
Grow, learn and progress and don't forget to change yourself
Give permission for people to fail
Cause failure and falling is the very wind in our sails
Its what drives us to be better and pick ourselves up
Expecting perfection is why most of us will give up
Accept people with all their faults and differences
If we were all just bones you couldn't tell what the difference is
Hold each other up, unified is what we gotta be
If you agree, lift your hands up to the sky and sing
We are one, we are one, we are one
We are one, we are one, we are one
We are one, we are one, we are one
We are one, we are one, we are one
We have to love each other more than we love being right
If sex, race and religion divide us then we've lost the fight
We have to see each other for who we are not just what we preach
One nation, indivisible isn't too far out of reach
