We're never walking forward To one step that way, we're taking two steps back Holding hands as one race We'll conquer fears and we'll stare this fight in the face
I dream of perfect I dream that one day These children will grow up To a clean street town Where society's anti racial slurs won't erupt Into a state of skin bashing hate
It just takes one to turn this picture from a Sad beginning into a happy ending We should be winning and not defending
The colour of one's skin and the issues of prejudice that run Through society as one living under the same sun It's like a movie script where the good guy dies And the bad guy gets the cred These broken bones that flow the same Will all reveal the colour red
These broken bones that flow the same Will all reveal the colour red Hese broken bones that flow the same Will all reveal the colour Colour red
One nation, one family One future, proud tradition Sad beginning, happy ending Sad beginning, happy ending Sad beginning, happy ending
