Somebody's gonna wave a flag

Somebody's going to attack

Someone will tell you to take a side

Tell you their version of wrong or right

Somebody's gonna let you in

Judged on the color of your skin

Slam a door in the face of your friend

Simply because you don't look like him

And then you gotta find a way that you're walkin'

Everybody's walkin'

You gotta find the words to say when you're talkin'

Everybody's talkin'

So I built the words into a song

I'm hopin' someone's singing along

And even if some notes are wrong

I'm hopin' someone's singing along

'Cause just one voice is not enough

I need to hear from everyone

And even when I'm dead and gone

I'm hopin' someone's singing along

Somebody's gonna build a wall

Then smash it with a cannon ball

Someone who somehow has got a gun

Will tell you who you can't and you can love

Some people keeping all the cash

They're gonna get away with that

Just 'cause some people don't think like me

Does that really make them the enemy?

And then you gotta find a way that you're walkin'

Everybody's walkin'

You gotta find the words to say when you're talkin'

Everybody's talkin'

So I built the words into a song

I'm hopin' someone's singing along

And even if some notes are wrong

I'm hopin' someone's singing along

'Cause just one voice is not enough

I need to hear from everyone

And even when I'm dead and gone

I'm hopin' someone's singing along

Make a noise

I can hear you now

Won't you raise your voice

Just a little louder

Make a noise

I can hear you now

Won't you raise your voice

Just a little louder

So I built the words into a song

I'm hopin' someone's singing along

And even if some notes are wrong

I'm hopin' someone's singing along

'Cause just one voice is not enough

I need to hear from everyone

And even when I'm dead and gone

I'm hopin' someone's singing along
