We are not helpless, we are men
What lies between us it can be set aside and ended
Ev'ryday we learn more how to hate
Shut the door and then we tell ourselves we can't relate
Only to the ones who are the same
Yet even they are diff'rent and ever so they shall remain
All are strangers, all are friends
All are brothers
Open up, my friend, and learn to hear
Yes, America's children
Are askin' ev'rybody some questions about how it is
Yes, and it's right on, children of the earth, and it's right on
Children of the earth, and it's right on
