Lyrics

The first man to die, for the flag we now hold high
Was a black man
The ground where we stand, with the flag held in our hand
Was first the red man'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
Check it

Heart surgery was first done successfully
By a black man
Friendly man who died but helped the pilgrims to survive
Was a red man
Farmworkers 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
Hear me out

Oh, 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, ha-ha
Scout who used no chart, helped to lead Lewis and Clark
Was a red woman
Use of martial arts in our country got its 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
World is made for all in
This world was made for all men
Oh-oh, was made for all men
God saved his world for all men, yeah

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
