Martin Luther King, he had a vision
And that's a fact
He died so we could see that was his mission
So don't look back.
There is no division, don't you understand
The future looks as though it has come around
And maybe we have finally found our common ground
We're the children of one father
If you're looking back don't bother
We're black and white America.
In nineteen sixty three my father married
A black woman
And when they walked the streets they were in danger
Look what you've done.
But they just kept on walking forward hand in hand
The future looks as though it has come around
And maybe we have finally found our common ground
We're the children of one father
If you're looking back don't bother
We're black and white America.
The future looks as though it has come around
And maybe we have finally found our common ground

If you're looking back don't bother
We're black and white America.
We've waited so long
We've waited so long.
There is no division, don't you understand
The future looks as though it has come around
And maybe we have finally found our common ground
We're the children of one father
If you're looking back don't bother
