Have We Forgotten

I hear people saying
Our best days are gone
Our people once united can't even get along
Our nation's so divided
Our country torn in two
It's such a shame after all that we've been through
Always been a beacon
The world's once shining light
Are we gonna let it all go wrong
For the sake of being right?

Have we forgotten
Who we really are?
All the storms we've had to weather
And how we ever got this far?
Have we forgotten
How it used to be?
When we could still sit down together
And agree to disagree?
And the common good was what we had in common
Have we forgotten?

Red states and blue states
Left versus right
It seems like all we ever do is fuss and fight
I ain't pointing fingers
Hell, I'm guilty too
But how much more of this can we go through?
The whole wide world is watching
While we go round and round
We need to come together y'all
And better do it now

Have we forgotten
Who we really are?
All the storms we've had to weather
And how we ever got this far?
Have we forgotten
How it used to be?
When we could still sit down together
And agree to disagree?
And the common good was what we had in common
Have we forgotten?
Have we forgotten?

I remember when Americans were all red, white, and blue
When it's all for one, and one for all
There's nothing we can't do

Have we forgotten
Who we really are?
How we braved the deep blue ocean
With freedom in our hearts?
Have we forgotten
How it used to be?
When I was there for you
And brother, you were there for me?
And the common good was what we had in common
Have we forgotten?
