Tapestry
By Baxter Bailey
Tapestry
In the land of the free, where dreams should take flight, got a story to tell, about a long-standing fight, For equality and justice, where folks can stand tall, the pages of history filled with hard truths about it all.
Let's talk about difference, let's find a way, To bridge the divide, and bring a brighter day, In the heart of America, where dreams can be, A tapestry of unity, for you and me.
From Selma to Harlem, from LA to the South, In the face of adversity, we use our mouth, Is it used to love or pound, Gotta rise above the hatred, and find common ground, In the mosaic of cultures, where unity can be found.
Let's talk about difference, let's find a way, To bridge the divide, and bring a brighter day, In the heart of America, where dreams can be, A tapestry of unity, for you and me.
Different faces and colors, we're the ones, Underneath it all, we're daughters and sons, Of this great nation, where freedom should ring, Break the chains of prejudice, let love and hope take wing.
We've come a long way, but there's still work to do, To mend the wounds of history, and make the old world new, It starts with understanding, compassion in our hearts, A chance for every voice to speak, to play their part.
Let's talk about difference, let's find a way, To bridge the divide, and bring a brighter day, In the heart of America, where dreams can be, A tapestry of unity, for you and me.
In the heart of America, Gotta learn to heal again, A future where we stand as one, in harmony where all can win, With hope in our hearts, and love as our guide, Together we write a new story, side by side.
