Sick minds, sad sights, never ending sleepless nights
Have been accepted as an everyday thing
Wiretapping, kidnapping (will the Russians push the button?)
I tell you, people, our thoughts and values have got to change
They say love is the strongest force on this earth

Uh, but to me, peace among people surpasses love in worth
People, jobs don't come no bigger than the one we've got to do
If we don't give peace a chance
What do you think is gonna happen to me and you? (Think about it)

That's why I am reaching out my hand to be your friend
This unrest between races has got to come to an end
Don't let the color of my skin confuse you
I swear on a stack of Bibles I won't misuse you
So put your hand in mine
Huh, we're gonna form a human chain, mightier than a hurricane

And walk this land, hand in hand
Day and night, black and white
We gotta unite the world (walk this land, day and night)
Come on and sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it (hand in hand, black and white)
We gotta unite the world (walk this land, day and night)
Come on and sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it with me (hand in hand, black and white)
We gotta unite the world (walk this land, day and night)
God almighty, sing it, sing it, sing it (hand in hand, black and white)
Ah, unite the world
Come on, come on, come on, ah

Oh, ding, dong, ding, let the freedom bell ring
The good Lord made you and me, what he wanted us to be
Free all those people you got chained up in your mind

Now there's truth in what I'm saying
We gotta stop the games we're playing
Two wrongs ain't never made a right (right)
Hung up, tripped out, whatever you may be

Now is the time to set yourself free
Put your hand in mine, huh, come on
Oh, and let's walk

Oh, we're gonna walk this land, day and night
Hand in hand, black and white
Sing it with me now
Walk this land, day and night (raise your voices)
Hand in hand, black and white (and sing along)
Come on, we're gonna unite the world (walk this land, day and night)
(Hand in hand, black and white)

We're gonna put an end to this insanity (walk this land, day and night)
Believe now (hand in hand, black and white)
We're gonna unite the world (walk this land, day and night)
(Hand in hand, black and white) sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it
Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on

Walk this land, day and night
Hand in hand, black and white
Walk this land, day and night
Hand in hand, black and white
Walk this land, day and night...
