That One

I am the black child, playing in an empty lot
I am the white man, playing a round of golf
I am the Asian, opening up my store
I am the Mexican, immigrant working poor

I am That One, You are That One
He is That One, she is That One
The whole is greater than the sum
Together we are all That One

I am the beat cop, trying to keep you safe
I am the pastor, helping to keep your faith
I am the organizer, trying to lift folks higher
I am the fireman, putting out the fire

I am That One, You are That One
He is That One, she is That One
The whole is greater than the sum
Together we are all That One

Today's political climate has us divided into factions and groups
And we're looking for that one leader who can bring us all together
Well it turns out that each of us is a leader in their own way
Each of us is that one
Turns out I am that one and you are that one
I want everybody listening to this song to take on that I am that one
And say that with me "I am that one"
Because you are that one and together we are all that one

I work at Wal-Mart, greeting you at the door
I work the shelters, trying to feed the poor
I work at GM, assembling the cars
I work in theater, hoping that I'll go far

I am That One, You are That One
He is That One, she is That One
The whole is greater than the sum
Together we are all That One

Together we are all that o-o-one
Together we are all------
That One
That One
Together we are all That One
