Stevie Wonder Can We Fix Our Nation's Broken Heart Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can we fix our nation's broken heart?
Are we brave enough to try? Mm-mm
Can we fix our nation's broken heart
And leave a better world behind?

[Chorus]
'Cause if we listen to different thoughts and points of views
All my brothers and sisters, we don't have to lose humanity
We're family, so can we please
Fix our nation's broken heart?
[Verse 2]
Children marching down the boulevard
Tears are streaming down their face, oh-oh
Tension in the air is so bizarre
Love has gone without a trace

[Chorus]
People pushing and shouting and fighting through the haze
And all this sadness, madness, help me take away the pain, it's gotta change
This can't stay the same, so tell me please
Can we fix our nation's broken heart?

[Bridge]
Poverty and homelessness
Can we do away with this?
All we need to is to be giving
For our daughters and our sons
There's a light in everyone
They deserve a new beginning, yeah [Verse 3]
Will the light we share survive the dark
Or will it slowly fade away? Ah-ah
Will the light of good be torn apart
And swept away by crushing waves?
[Chorus]
We've been floating alone in a dark and bitter cold
'Cause there's a growing ocean of lies that we've been told to tear us down
But what I've found is with our truth, compassion, and love
We can fix our nation's broken heart

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Can we fix our nation's broken heart?
Are we brave enough to try? Hey-ey
We must fix our nation's broken heart
To leave a better world behind

[Chorus]
We've come together with purpose far bigger than you and me
Don't have no time for hatred and negativity, it's you and me
We hold the key, so tell me please
Can we fix our nation's broken heart?

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Can we fix our nation's broken heart?
I know and you know
We must fix our nation's broken heart
