Verso 1

There's a million reasons to hesitate
There's a history
That's filled with hate
Have we ever been United States

So who can blame us for the doubt
Forgive me if I think out loud
But when justice

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

That's been broke down
We can be free
Yeah yeah I know that
And it starts with me

Verso 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
