Mend This Generation
People say there's no communication
Between the young and the older generation
Understand they caused a lot of pain, so
But it’s gonna be fine
Black and white have to do what's right
They'll get together when it’s time to fight
What we need is some strong advice
But it's gonna be fine
There's a lot going on (in the world today)
People can't find the right words to say
Lots of love between one another
Away with enemies
Let's say that we are brothers
That's the only way
(That's the only way)
(Raise our voices and tell it like it is)
Alright
We got to raise our voices and tell it like it is
That's the only way
That’s the only way
I said you people, people, that’s the only way
We got to mend this generation
(Mend this generation)
And mend it today
We gotta keep on tryin'
We gotta keep on tryin’ (Mend)
We gotta keep on tryin' (Mend)
We gotta keep on tryin' (Mend)
Keep it up, keep it up (Mend)
Keep it up, keep it up (Mend)
Get together (Mend)
Get together (Mend)
