One Nation

[Verse 1] 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 won't build the weapons of war which loom over your head We will not feed the war machine which leads our youth to death We'll not close our eyes to the atrocities which abound We'll 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'll work towards our goal: one nation — unity And you must be the converts who work towards world peace [Verse 2] There are those around us who stand and say, "no way" Opposing lessened armies, they say they're here to stay 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, boundaries have been drawn Ideas are decided by where you have been born You can't judge people by the government of their land They're flesh and blood like us and our prejudice is sad [Chorus] The future is our burden, we cannot stand and watch As the world around us crumbles and opposing armies march We'll work towards our goal: one nation — unity And you must be the converts who work towards world peace [Instrumental Outro] [Guitar Solo]
