Lyrics:
If U-N-I-T-E-D, the world would be a better place.
As ink pours from pen, pain pours from my heart
Knowing theres kids somewhere that actually starve.
Take the time out, close your eyes and just picture this;
No color, no hate, nemesis, or differences.
TV is filling me with scenes of negativity
But we can control it if we can cooperate willingly,
We came a long way, but we got so much further to go.
Guns kill, but hatred destroys us the most.
And the problem could never be solved you see,
Human Rights, define the word — EQUALITY
If we don't respect and love each other, were just livin' a lie
Because UNITED starts with you and I
You feel me?
Chorus:
U-N-I-T-E-D
A better place this world would be
Were all in this game, can't you see?
Were all a part of this family tree
Chorus repeats
We are born free and equal
Free to walk
And free to talk
Free to dance
Free to jump and free to prance.
Know what I'm sayin'?
Got to keep it together
No matter how bad the weather
It will be alright
Keep it tight
cause we all got our freedom rights
Every day from the night
To the broad daylight
Don't discriminate
Learn to appreciate
So you don't have to imitate
Don't be the one to hate
It's never too late
You got the right to life
Innocent til proven guilty
You can say what you like
You got the right to education
So don't throw it away
Know your human rights
cause it could help you some day
