We are many different people.
Our fathers came from different lands.
We all share a dream of freedom;
Now, united here we stand.
United here we stand:
We have answered freedom’s call.
Here we stand in truth and justice;
Even if our back’s against the wall.
United here we stand:
United in equality,
We are all Americans,
United here in liberty.
You may try to divide us
By ethnicity or creed.
You may try to terrorize us.
You may even make us bleed;
But you will never separate us.
We’re growing stronger ‘cross this land.
Instead of fear you create courage,
‘Cause united here we stand.
United here we stand:
We have answered freedom’s call.
Here we stand in truth and justice;
And you will never make us fall.
United here we stand,
United in equality,
We are all Americans,
United here in liberty.
We are many different colors:
Red, and yellow, black and white.
We don’t claim that we are perfect.
We don’t say we’re always right.
But we’re in this thing together—
Every woman, child, and man—
And the strongest helps the weakest,
‘Cause united here we stand.
United here we stand:
We have answered freedom’s call.
Here we stand in truth and justice;
We’re together, one and all.
United here we stand:
United in equality,
We are all Americans,
United here in liberty.
We are many different colors.
Our fathers came from different lands.
We all share a dream of freedom;
Now, united here we stand.
