When you're feeling all alone
We can be the reason
To find the strength to carry on
In a world that's so divided
We shall overcome

What could I say to my son or to my daughter
If they came and asked me 'bout these days?
What kinda reason could I give for all the hate
That's standing in the way?
Wish I could tell 'em that nobody's gonna judge them
And every stranger on the block is gonna love them
No bully in the world could ever hurt 'em
But I can't say that today
No
No one could ever take your pride from you
Speak your truth and let your spirit fly
'Cause we can be the healing
When you're feeling all alone
We could be the reason (yeah)
To find the strength to carry on
In a world that's so divided
We shall overcome
We can be the healing

What could I say to every woman who was ever told
By a man, "Don't try to reach too high"?
What could I say to every girl who was betrayed
And told to keep the pain locked inside?
