Broken Dreams Bended Knee June 1, 2012

broken dreams, bended knee
Black or white, you and me
Seven minutes of pain-free again
Goodbye my life it was insane
The promised land has failed us all
Dreams have gone, we'll still walk tall
We stand united to fight the fight
United together we'll make it right
Human rights and color blind
We're gonna win and save mankind
No more tomorrow, we're here to stay
Seven minutes of pain-free again
The young, the old, black and white
We'll stand together bring on the fight
Extend our mind, extend our hand
Join together take back our land
Broken dreams, bended knee
Black or white, you and me
