We walk across a broken line to find    A broken life, maybe a broken heart    A broken soul where nothing is the rest    But I think this is where we usually talk best       Here is a struggle for a black man    The painful scar of an oppressed past    But here is a struggle for this white man    To endure his natural backlash       Well it ain't a sin not to understand    Its only a sin if I don't try    But then I go and darken the face of a racist    So I can scream, "man it ain't just my side"    you must be sick of it and tired of it    Try to love me in spite of it    Oh Lord could it be    That there is so much more to setting free    Oh Lord I've got love in me    But there is much, much more to setting free       Here is a rich white man who can't see his greed    Screaming, "I hire who I... Well please, not me    No I am far from racist it just happens    all of my clients seem trust white faces       But I can't respect a brother, or any other    who claims himself martyred    Looking at me like owe something to you    Ok, I do       But you know I got more love and more hope    Its just frustrating brother    If you're getting a job just because you're black    We're not getting passed your color    You must be sick of it, and tired of it    But try to love me in spit of it       Oh Lord could it be    That there is so much more to setting free    Oh Lord I've got love in me    But there is much, much more to setting free       Now I am not a rich white man    and maybe I am blessed for that    But I am not a black man    and I have never been oppressed like that    So I can sit here and let my thoughts unfurl    Nice and freely in my poor white world    Freely praying for compassion    while 10 million white women thank affirmative action       So throw your hands up, and people stand up    Go on and love me, and don't let up    Throw your hands up, and people stand up    Go on love me and don't you let up       Oh Lord could it be    That there is so much more to setting free    Oh Lord I've got love in me    But there is much, much more to setting free
