Ned Harris - Reach One Teach One

Brother, we have got to be the ones to set the tone
Oh yeah, to show the world that our people can stand on their own
I know we're tired of the killing, brothers trying to make a living
No one cares

I know that crying never works praying, can only ease the hurt
We gotta help each other, fight together, love each other, stand together
We gotta reach one, teach one, love them, show them
We gotta fight for a better day, show our children a better way

I said we reach them, teach them, love one, show one
Can't stop till we get it done, keep on reaching, tell everyone
Oh sister, you got to be the one to show our children
That life is not what people on the TV say

Black men, drug dealers, deadbeat fathers, beating mothers, sons and daughters, not all true
I know you're doing all you can, but you got to have a plan
So let us help each other, learn together, love each other, stand together
We gotta reach one, teach one, love them, show them

We gotta fight for a better day, show our children a better way
I said we reach them, teach them, love one, show one
Can't stop till we get it done, keep on reaching, tell everyone
Although we try to bear the pain of the people

you know we can't give up hope through the struggle
Though they try to keep us down, you'll stay strong and stand your ground
So my brothers and my sisters stand and say
You gotta reach one, teach one, love them, show them

We gotta fight for a better day, show our children a better way
Reach them, teach them, love one, show one
We can't stop till we get it done, keep on reaching, tell everyone
So reach one, you gotta teach one, love them, and show them
