Gonna Take Us All

We need the Buddhists and the Baptists
The Quakers and Catholics, too
The atheists and agnostics
The Muslims and the Jews
We need people of all nations
All colors and all creeds To put an end to war, now And put an end to greed
Chorus: Gonna take us all, to make a change
Take us all, to win the peace
Gonna take us all in the streets
Gonna take us all . . . . . . . . . Gonna take us all
We need the immigrants and the unions
The Greens and the gays
The hip-hoppers and . . . be-boppers, And Women for Equal Pay
Farm workers out in the sun, The homeless out in the rain
The seniors and the soccer moms
For a world that is humane Chorus
We need your friends and your neighbors
The poets and the painters Socialists and the anarchists Pacifists and the humanists Every culture and community,
It takes black and white and brown
Sometimes we won’t see eye to eye,
But we stand on common ground Chorus
