  • Can we fix our nation's broken heart?
    Are we brave enough to try? (Mmm)
    Can we fix our nation's broken heart?
    And leave a better world behind

    Cause if we listen to different thoughts and point of views
    Oh, my brothers and sisters, we don't have to lose humanity
    We're family
    So can we please
    fix our nation's broken heart

    Children marching on the boulevard
    Tears are streaming down their face
    tension in the air is so bizarre
    Love is gone without a trace

    People pushing and shouting and fighting through the haze
    And all this sadness, madness, help me take away the pain
    It's got to change
    this can't stay the same
    So tell me please
    can we fix our nation's broken heart?

    Poverty and homelessness,
    can we do away with this?
    All we need is to be giving

    For our daughters and our sons
    There's a light in everyone
    They deserve a new beginning, yeah

    Will the light we share survive the dark?
    Or will it slowly fade away?
    Will the light of good be torn apart?
    And swept away by crushing waves

    We've been floating, alone in a dark and bitter cold
    'Cause there's a growing ocean of lies that we've been told
    To tear us down
    but what I've found
    Is with our truth, compassion, and love
    We can fix our nation's broken heart

    Can we fix our nation's broken heart?
    Are we brave enough to try? Hey
    We must fix our nation's broken heart
    To leave a better world behind

    We've come together with purpose far bigger than you and me
    Don't have no time for hatred and negativity
    It's you and me
    we hold the key
    So tell me please
    can we fix our nation's broken heart?
    Can we fix our nation's broken heart?
    I know and you know
    We must fix our nation's broken heart Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
