Stevie Wonder - Black Man lyrics

First man to die
For the flag we now hold high
Was a Black man the ground where we stand
With a flag held in our hand
Was first the red man's guide of a ship
On the first Columbus trip was a brown man
The railroads for trains
Came on tracking that was laid
By the yellow man

We pledge allegiance all our lives
To the magic colors red, blue, and white
But we all must be given
The liberty that we defend
For with justice not for all men
History will repeat again
It's time we learned
This world was made for all men (Check it)

Heart surgery was first done successfully
By a Black man friendly man who died
But helped the Pilgrims to survive
Was a red man farm workers' rights
Were lifted to new heights by a brown man
Incandescent light
Was invented to give sight by the white man

We pledge allegiance all our lives
To the magic colors red, blue, and white
But we all must be given
The liberty that we defend
For with justice not for all men
History will repeat again
It's time we learned
This world was made for all men hear me out
Oh

Now I know the birthday of a nation
Is a time when a country celebrates
But as your hand touches your heart
Remember we all played a part
In America to help that banner wave

First clock to be made
In America was created by a Black man
Scout who used no chart
Helped lead Lewis and Clark was a red woman
Use of martial arts
In our country got it's start
By a yellow man and the leader with a pen
Signed his name to free all men
Was a white man

We pledge allegiance all our lives
To the magic colors red, blue, and white
But we all must be given
The liberty that we defend
For with justice not for all men
History will repeat again
It's time we learned
This world was made for all men
World was made for all men
This world was made for all men
World was made for all men

God saved His world for all men all peoples
All babies all children
All colors all races
This world's for you and me
This world my world
Your world everybody's world
This world their world
Our world this world was made for all men
