The Mississippi River, he's a friend of mine
2
And the people livin' in this town, they can be so fine
3
There's a big line runnin' straight down old Union Avenue
4
And it breaks that southern lady's heart in two
5
There's an old black man sittin' out front of a shotgun house
6
And on the other side of town there's a rich man sittin' on a velvet couch
7
Nobody forgives what happened thirty years ago
8
But we gotta forgive the past and that's for sure
9
Well, it should be so plain to see
10
That it comes down to you and me
11
And if we all just come together
12
And if we all just take a stand
13
Oh, we could heal the hurtin' and the broken-hearted people
14
And everybody understand
15
Gotta all just come together, yeah
16
Ridin' down Beale Street, pop tunes on my radio
17
Well, I love this Delta mama, it's all I know
18
Well, you know I have a dream about black and white and a state of grace
19
But it's gonna take more than a dream to fix this place
20
You know it's hard as it can be
21
To turn the tide of history
22
But if we all just come together
23
And if we all just take a stand
24
We could heal the hurtin' and the broken-hearted people
25
Everybody understand
26
Well, if we all just come together
27
If we all just take a stand
28
We could heal the hurtin' and the broken-hearted people
29
And everybody understand, yeah

We all went to Sunday school and everybody learned the golden rule
31
I read about the writing on the wall
32
Learned how Joseph had a nice coat, Noah had a big boat
33
But then they said sweet Jesus loves us all
34
And I believe
35
If we all just come together
36
If we all just take a stand, yeah yeah yeah
37
Oh, we could heal the hurtin' and the broken-hearted people
38
And everybody understand
39
Well, if we all just come together
40
Well, if we all just take a stand
41
We could heal the hurtin' and the broken-hearted people
42
All across this land
43
Gotta all just come together, yeah
44
The Mississippi River, he's a friend of mine
45
And the people livin' in this town, they can be so fine
46
Reach out your hand to your brother
47
Reach out your hand to your sister
48
Reach out your hand to your brother
49
Reach out your hand to your sister, sister
