Refrain:
The walls of hate are coming down
Let love transcend us into new worlds

Chant 1:
A righteous man does all he can to lift us up when we fall down!

Chant 2:
Look at the rage of a nation without leaders with solutions!

Chant 3:
I see heavy hearts, broken minds clouded by confusion!

Chant 4:
Ghetto Heroes arise and bring forth a solution!

Verse:
I saw my grandfather work for forty years on a job
And I could hear my mother praying to God

Chant 5:
Black change in the form of economic empowerment!

Chant 6:
Black change in the form of spiritual development!
