Starts With Me

One day (One day, one day) This nation will rise up (Rise up, rise up) Rise up There's a million reasons to hesitate With a history that's filled with hate Have we ever been United States? I wonder (Oh, oh, oh) So who can blame us for the doubt? Forgive me if I think out loud But when justice just won't come around You wonder (Oh, oh, oh) I was born with two, dirty hands Something my daddy didn't understand Something his daddy didn't understand So it starts with me I was raised with distrust, in my heart Momma told me we're in worlds apart Her momma told her don't even bother So it starts with me 'Cause we can be free, yeah, yeah I know that Let's try to fix the things that's been broke down We can be free, yeah, yeah I know that And it starts with me 'Cause we can be free, yeah, yeah I know that Let's try to fix the things that's been broke down We can be free, yeah, yeah I know that And it starts with me With a heavy road in front of us And a system that has lost our trust Can we ever find the strength to rise from ashes? And looking at the heart of it The healing nearly can't begin Without confession and forgiveness and compassion I was born with two, dirty hands Something my daddy didn't understand Something his daddy didn't understand So it starts with me I was raised with distrust, in my heart Momma told me we're in worlds apart Her momma told her don't even bother So it starts with me 'Cause we can be free, yeah, yeah I know that Let's try to fix the things that's been broke down We can be free, yeah, yeah I know that And it starts with me 'Cause we can be free, yeah, yeah I know that Let's try to fix the things that's been broke down We can be free, yeah, yeah I know that And it starts with me One day (One day, one day) This nation will rise up (Rise up, rise up) Rise up Can you feel it in your heart tonight? Love is gonna move the needle I can feel it in my heart tonight Oh, yeah Can you feel it in your heart tonight? Love is gonna move the needle I can feel it in my heart tonight Oh yeah Can you feel it in your heart tonight? (Can you feel it in your heart tonight?) Love is gonna move the needle (Love is gonna move the needle) I can feel it in my heart tonight (I can feel it in my heart tonight) I need you, you need me One more step, almost free (Almost free, almost free) Say I need you, you need me Father give us eyes to see (Hey, aye, aye, give us eyes to see) 'Cause we can be free, yeah, yeah I know that Let's try to fix the things that's been broke down We can be free, yeah, yeah I know that And it starts with me 'Cause we can be free, yeah, yeah I know that Let's try to fix the things that's been broke down We can be free, yeah, yeah I know that And it starts with me This language that I speak This dream of you and me We're one choice from together And it starts with me This dream could set us free This dream of you and me We're one choice from together It starts with me (Now is the time)
