Story Behind The Song
We used to be able to disagree, but listen to and learn from each other. Today it feels like it's always us vs. them. This is a reminder that we are more alike than different, and we need to start working together.

Lyrics
Half the world thinks the other half
Is weak and they are strong
The same is true for the other half
How can we all be wrong?
I don't know where this is going
But we all know where we've been
If we don't turn a new direction, we'll end up there again
CHORUS
The Power of the People is when we act as one
Are we really all so different when all is said and done?
I'd rather help us build more bridges instead of another wall
United we can stand together or divided we will fall
How you gonna know what somebody else feels
If you never take the time to learn?
Sit down, say hi, instead of walkin' right by
Everybody can take a turn
If they're not from here, you can grab a beer
Let 'em tell where they're coming from
If they didn't do college, still got knowledge
Careful who you calling dumb
On a holiday you don't celebrate
Let 'em tell you 'bout why they do
If you don't take time to expand your mind
Then the problem might be you
Bet you got a neighbor by a different flavor
Ever talk to he or she?
When you use your ears, you reduce your fears
And there's a little more we than me
CHORUS
I pledge allegiance to the people of the United Nations of Earth
CHORUS
