I'm Not Demanding (Part 1)

[00:02.81] We need confrontation for communication
[00:09.12] How long will it take for people to learn
[00:14.22] That they aren't free while their brothers are slaves?
[00:22.80] Everybody's got to lend a helping hand
[00:28.09] If we expect to walk together in this proud land
[00:38.16] People, they are born, they're all the same
[00:43.06] They got pride, and they all have shame
[00:48.84] They all had heartaches, and they all have pain
[00:58.31] Heh, look here
[01:02.27] Oh, I'm not dictatin' and I'm not demandin'
[01:07.82] All I want for everybody is peace and understandin'
[01:17.92] We must all come together with our back to the wheel
[01:23.84] And all walk tall, let no man have to kneel
[01:29.74] Be it black, white, yellow, or green
[01:32.51] If we all do this, then there will be no scene, huh
[01:40.95] Oh, I'm not dictatin' and I'm not demandin'
[01:47.48] All I want for everybody is peace and understandin'
[01:55.23] And understandin', yessiree, for you and me
[02:04.26] I'm not dictatin', oh no

[02:26.56] Please, understand me
[02:31.27] I don't wanna fight, just wanna do what's right
[02:37.75] Please, let me in, let me be your friend
[02:45.76] Everybody, everybody, be it black, white, or green
