Once upon a time we were together
Once upon a time we were a team
The problems all were shared, and everybody cared
About everybody living in the dream
But something happened and we were divided
Tearing at the things that we held dear
We started calling names, we started laying blame,
We started to forget why we were here
For us all
We are the people, with the same red, white and blue
For us all
Because it's not the same if it's just me or you, it's
For us all
To bring it back to everything that we once knew,
And we do the things we do for us all
Once upon a time we had our problems
Once upon a time we did things wrong
But as one we lived and died, put our differences aside
Did our best to help each other along
But some of us were blinded by ambition,
Instead of helping out, they wanted power
The things that once were great got lost in all the hate
And they led us to the country's darkest hour
For us all
We must remember all we have to fear is fear
For us all
To be a part of us we have to volunteer
For Us All
To be together means we have to all be here
And we do the things we do for us all
Minorities aren't doing it to spite you,
The poor aren't trying to take away your wealth,
A pregnant woman doesn't want to fight you,
She's trying to take control of herself
A gay man doesn't want to wreck your marriage
He only wants to have a family
We've got so much to do that's more important
You have to open up your eyes to see
For us all
We are the people, and it's up to us to win
For us all
We must remember it's a game we all are in
For us all
It's time to heal the wounds and here's where we begin
And we do the things we do for us all
For us all
We are the people, there's so much we must undo
For us all
Because it's not the same if it's just me or you, it's
For us all
To bring it back to everything that we once knew,
And we do the things we do for us all
For us all
We are the people, with the same red, white and blue
For us all
Because it's not the same if it's just me or you, it's
For us all
To bring it back to everything that we once knew,
And we do the things we do for us all
