We Still Have A Chance

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I grew up in a small town Single mum, only child Watched my grandfather work On the railroads all his life He was a proud Black man The example that he showed Still lives in my heart Everywhere I go [Verse 2] When I started school The playground was a place To find swift justice With a punch in your face Well, you learn real quick With blood running down your shirt How the words that you said Really fucking hurt [Chorus] 'Cause you can't reason with stupid And you can't stop the tide We should love one another No matter what side Of this road we're walking Or which way you dance Come together, my people We still have a chance [Verse 3] I try not to watch the news 'Cause I get too wrapped up In the heartbreaking things That life dishes up When I see folks divided It comes as no surprise That good common sense Can be in short supply [Chorus] 'Cause you can't reason with stupid And you can't stop the tide We should love one another No matter what side Of this road we're walking Or which way you dance Come together, my people We still have a chance [Chorus] 'Cause you can't reason with stupid And you can't stop the tide We should love one another No matter what side Of this road we're walking Or which way you dance Come together, my people We still have a chance You can't reason with stupid And you can't stop the tide We should love one another No matter what side Of this road we're walking Or which way you dance Come together, my people We still have a chance Come together, my people We still have a chance [Outro] Let's follow that road Together Yeah, we still have a chance
