Lyrics

[verse]
if we have to fight
we do it hand in hand
they can't stop us no way
we are not chained
we're human beings
we've living souls
and we have dreams

[chorus]
so make it right
yeah make it right
make it right
yeah make it right

[verse]
if we occupy the palace square
will i see you there?
if we can't take it any more
please don't start a civil war
we can't afford to lose us
in the fray

[chorus]
so make it right
yeah make it right
make it right right right
now make it right

[bridge]
well toss away the labels
making up the great divide
stand up and be counted
be the change you wish to see

[chorus]
and make it right
yeah make it right
yeah make it right
yeah make it right

[verse]
in the middle east
they putting bombs down on kids
they got mad men with gasoline

in africa they got troubles
like you ain't never seen
and here we are
just standing by

we got people dying in the streets
right here at home
is it neighborly
does it satisfy?
|break|
no?

[chorus]
make it right
yeah make it right
yeah make it right
yeah make it right

[verse]
if you got god on your salad
then please do no wrong
help your brothers and sisters and daughters grow strong
and if you're just the righteous type
well then, just do the same
but most im-port-ant-ly
|break|
keep the peace
uh

[chorus]
and make it right
yeah make it right
yeah make it right
yeah make it right

|here we go|
[rap]
we gotta educate
to eradicate
all this hate
before it's too late

[outro]
make it right
yeah make it right
yeah make it right right right
now make it right
oh make it right
yeah make it right
yeah make it right right right
now make it right
