Stevie Wonder

Black Man

First man to die

For the flag we now hold high

Was a black man

The ground were we stand

With the flag held in our hand

Was first the redman's

Guide of a ship

On the first Columbus trip

Was a brown man

The railroads for trains

Came on tracking that was laid

By the yellow man

We pledge allegiance all our lives

To the magic colors red, blue and white

But we all must be given

The liberty that we defend

For with justice not for all men

History will repeat again

It's time we learned

This world was made for all men

Heart surgery

Was first done successfully

By a black man

Friendly man who died

But helped the pilgrims to survive

Was a redman

Farm workers rights

Were lifted to new heights

By a brown man

Incandescent light

Was invented to give sight

By the white man

We pledge allegiance all our lives

To the magic colors red, blue and white

But we all must be given

The liberty that we defend

For with justice not for all men

History will repeat again

It's time we learned

This world was made for all men

Here me out

Now I know the birthday of a nation

Is a time when a country celebrates

But as your hand touches your heart

Remember we all played a part in America

To help that banner wave

First clock to be made

In America was created

By a black man

Scout who used no chart

Helped lead Lewis and Clark

Was a redman

Use of martial arts

In our country got it's start

By a yellow man

And the leader with a pen

Signed his name to free all men

Was a white man

We pledge allegiance all our lives

To the magic colors red, blue and white

But we all must be given

The liberty that we defend

For with justice not for all men

History will repeat again

It's time we learned

This world was made for all men

This world was made for all men

This world was made for all men

This world was made for all men

God saved His world for all men

All people

All babies

All children

All colors

All races

This world's for you

And me

This world

My world

Your world

Everybody's world

This world

Their world

Our world

This world was made for all men
