We Still Have A Chance

[Verse 1]
I grew up in a small town
Single mum, only child
Watched my grandfather work
On the railroads all his life
He was a proud Black man
The example that he showed
Still lives in my heart
Everywhere I go

[Verse 2]
When I started school
The playground was a place
To find swift justice
With a punch in your face
Well, you learn real quick
With blood running down your shirt
How the words that you said
Really fucking hurt

[Chorus]
'Cause you can't reason with stupid
And you can't stop the tide
We should love one another
No matter what side
Of this road we're walking
Or which way you dance
Come together, my people
We still have a chance

[Verse 3]
I try not to watch the news
'Cause I get too wrapped up
In the heartbreaking things
That life dishes up
When I see folks divided
It comes as no surprise
That good common sense
Can be in short supply

[Chorus]
'Cause you can't reason with stupid
And you can't stop the tide
We should love one another
No matter what side
Of this road we're walking
Or which way you dance
Come together, my people
We still have a chance

[Chorus]
'Cause you can't reason with stupid
And you can't stop the tide
We should love one another
No matter what side
Of this road we're walking
Or which way you dance
Come together, my people
We still have a chance
You can't reason with stupid
And you can't stop the tide
We should love one another
No matter what side
Of this road we're walking
Or which way you dance
Come together, my people
We still have a chance
Come together, my people
We still have a chance

[Outro]
Let's follow that road
Together
Yeah, we still have a chance
