Our mothers and our fathers, they had lives to live   Oh, and today is proof that mistakes were made   There's not a doubt in my heart   They've done the best that they know how   And there's still time for us to make a change      We got to learn from the mistakes that were made in the past   We got to clean so that we can clean our minds   'Cause in order to get it together, we got to get our heads together   Everybody is going to make it this time   Everybody is going to make it this time      Our country and our cities, they have been betrayed for money   Ooh, and somehow the people, they will make a change, yeah   There's not a doubt in my mind, if hunger and anger place the blame   There won't be a country left to change      We got to see what we're doing in the name of comfort   We've got to see, we've got to feel the warning signs   But in order to get it together, we've got to get our heads together   Everybody is going to make it this time   Everybody is going to make it this time      We've got to learn from the mistakes that were made in the past   We've got to clean so that we can use our minds   But in order to get it together, we've got to get our heads together   Everybody is going to make it this time   Everybody is going to make it this time      (Everybody make it, yeah, whoa)   Everybody is going to make it this time   Everybody is going to make it this time   Everybody is going to make it this time      Everybody is going to make it this time   Everybody is going to make it this time   Everybody is going to make it this time   Everybody is going to make it this time      Everybody is going to make it this time   Everybody is going to make it this time   (Got to make it, this time, whoa)   (Woo, woo, woo, hey)
