You see, Billy got picked on at school

For things he couldn′t change

He tried his best to play it coolBut in the seventh grade

You either fit right in or you don't fit

That′s just the cold hard truth

I wish that I'd have been the friend

That Billy never knew

I think it's time to come together

You and I can make a change

Maybe we can make a difference

Make the world a better place

Look around and love somebody

We′ve been hateful long enough

Let the Good Lord reunite us

′Til this country that we love's

Undivided (yeah)

You either go to church or you gonna go to Hell

Get a job and work or you gonna go to jail

I just kinda wish we didn′t think like that

Why's it gotta be all white or all black?

And when we gon′ learn to try on someone's shoes sometimes? (That′s right)

When we gon' start to see from someone else's eyes?

I think it′s time to come together

You and I can make a change

Maybe we can make a difference

Make the world a better place

Look around and love somebody

We′ve been hateful long enough

Let the Good Lord reunite us

'Til this country that we love′s

Undivided (oh yeah)

Undivided, oh yeah

We're all the same to God

No matter what we get His love

I′m tired of lookin' left or right

So I′m just lookin' up

I think it's time to come together

You and I can make a change

Maybe we can make a difference

Make the world a better place

Look around and love somebody

We′ve been hateful long enough (hateful long enough)

Let the Good Lord reunite us

′Til this country that we love's

Undivided (come on)

Oh yeah

Undivided, oh yeah

(You either go to church or you gonna go to Hell)

Oh yeah (get a job and work or you gonna go to jail)

Undivided (I just kinda wish we didn′t think like that)

Yep (why's it gotta be all white or all black?)
