Remember why you're here
To lend a helping hand
Your brothers and your sisters
Are walking across this land
Wherever there is trouble
Wherever there is fear
Just reach into the light
Knowing what is right
Remember why you're here
Remember why you're here

It ain't about gold and diamonds
It's spirits and souls high-fiving
Knowing what's most important
By putting your best foot forward
Watching hopes and dreams soar
By taking less and giving more
It's people coming together
To make our time here a little better

Remember why you're here
To lend a helping hand
Your brothers and your sisters
Are walking 'cross this land
Wherever there is trouble
Wherever there is fear
Just reach into the light
Knowing what is right
Remember why you're here
Remember why you're here

It's fueling your spirit's fire
A million voices in a gospel choir
Civil rights and liberty
Six strings in a melody
The death of hate and the birth of hope
The sound of soul on the radio
It's you and me getting high on life
And not letting time just pass us by

Remember why you're here
To lend a helping hand
Your brothers and your sisters
Are walking 'cross this land
Wherever there is trouble
Wherever there's fear
Just reach into the light
Knowing what is right
Remember why you're here

Oh, just reach into the light
Knowing what is right
Remember why you're here
Remember why you're here
