The Mississippi River, he's a friend of mineAnd the people livin' in this town, they can be so fineThere's a big line runnin' straight down old Union AvenueAnd it breaks that southern lady's heart in twoThere's an old black man sittin' out front of a shotgun houseAnd on the other side of town there's a rich man sittin' on a velvet couchNobody forgives what happened thirty years agoBut we gotta forgive the past and that's for sureWell, it should be so plain to seeThat it comes down to you and meAnd if we all just come togetherAnd if we all just take a standOh, we could heal the hurtin' and the broken-hearted peopleAnd everybody understandGotta all just come together, yeahRidin' down Beale Street, pop tunes on my radioWell, I love this Delta mama, it's all I knowWell, you know I have a dream about black and white and a state of graceBut it's gonna take more than a dream to fix this placeYou know it's hard as it can beTo turn the tide of historyLetras de cancionesBut if we all just come togetherAnd if we all just take a standWe could heal the hurtin' and the broken-hearted peopleEverybody understandWell, if we all just come togetherIf we all just take a standWe could heal the hurtin' and the broken-hearted peopleAnd everybody understand, yeahWe all went to Sunday school and everybody learned the golden ruleI read about the writing on the wallLearned how Joseph had a nice coat, Noah had a big boatBut then they said sweet Jesus loves us allAnd I believeIf we all just come togetherIf we all just take a stand, yeah yeah yeahOh, we could heal the hurtin' and the broken-hearted peopleAnd everybody understandWell, if we all just come togetherWell, if we all just take a standWe could heal the hurtin' and the broken-hearted peopleAll across this landGotta all just come together, yeahThe Mississippi River, he's a friend of mineAnd the people livin' in this town, they can be so fineReach out your hand to your brotherReach out your hand to your sisterReach out your hand to your brotherReach out your hand to your sister, sister
