First man to die For the flag we now hold high (crispus attucks) Was a black man The ground were we stand With the flag held in our hand Was first the redman's Guide of a ship On the first Columbus trip (pedro alonzo nino) 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 Heart surgery Was first done successfully By a black man Friendly man who died But helped the pilgrims to survive Was a redman 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 Here me out 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 redman Use of martial arts In our country got its 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 God saved his world for all men All people 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
