How many voices does no one hear, how many chances just disappear,
how many times do we turn away, how much time is it gonna take
Until we say this isn't good enough, until we say that we're not giving up
That we have got to learn to rise above, rise above it now

Can you imagine what the world could be, what love could change,
where arms could reach
Can you imagine no walls between and hope is the language we all learn to speak
Can you imagine

How many brothers will we divide, how many reasons to prove we're right
how many mothers will pray each night, their praying for a better life
We can't keep doing what our fathers did or hide behind the face of politics
We've got to see it all for what it is, it's time to lay it down

Wouldn't that be glorious, wouldn't that be victory,
Wouldn't that be beautiful, shouldn't that be you and me
