How can we heal all the hurt in the world?
Undo the past and the harms that linger?
How can we stop the blaming, shaming, and wagging of the finger?
How do we right the wrongs that abound.
To create change we’re so desperate to see.
I don’t have all the answers, but it begins with you and me.

When will the painful judgments stop?
and when will we cherish each other?
When will stop seeing otherness?
and instead see our sisters and brothers?
When will we live up to the promise
of all this country was intended to be?
When will hear freedom ring from sea to shining sea?
I don’t have all the answers, but it begins with you and me.

Who will start the journey from our painful past to healing?
Who will find find expression for all we have been feeling?
Who will build the bridge from where we are to where we’re going?
Who will use their wisdom and our expanding sense of knowing?
Who will light the fire, to spark the change we wish to see.
I don’t have all the answers, but it begins with you and me.
