One Nation Lyrics


A vision of unselfishness

A union of black and white

One nation of all races

It's clear within my sight

I see it clear, no hate, no fear

No soldiers sent to die

A state that's free, and thrives on peace

No greed, no threat to life

We will not build the weapons of war

Which loom over your heads

We will not feed the war machine

Which leads our youth to death

We will not close our eyes

To the atrocities which abound

We will not stand and watch

Until we're six feet underground

CHORUS:

The future is our burden

We cannot stand and watch

As the world around us crumbles

And opposing armies march

We will work towards our goal

One nation unity

And you must be the converts

Who work towards world peace

There are those around us

Who stand and say no way

Opposing lessened armies

They are here to stay

But no one knows until we try

What we all can do

I won't stand by, watch children die

It's up to me and you

Our world is divided

The boundaries have been drawn

Your ideas are decided

By where you have been born

We can't judge people

By the government of their land

They're flesh and blood like us

And our prejudice is sad

CHORUS:

CHORUS:

The future is our burden

We cannot stand and watch

As the world around us crumbles

And opposing armies march

We will work towards our goal

One nation unity

And you must be the converts

Who work towards world peace
