The reality is we’re a team
all the citizens of the USA
and if we don’t fight to unite
divided is how we will stay
Sports are a part of our culture,
we bet on, we watch and we play
If all 330 million of us are a team,
What is the sport that we play?
That is the root of our problem
We don’t know the sport that we’re playing
and as a result, we don’t know the rules
or how to score points, I’m just saying
Until those are known, we’re in trouble
we’ve splintered into multiple teams
each claiming to know what’s best for us
denouncing the others with memes
Some of the best teams when training
split up and play head to head
and even if tempers get heated
they don’t wish their teammates were dead
The Bulls and the Lakers weren’t perfect
as they worked to become the world’s best
they fought and they had disagreements
their resolve to win, put to the test
Each player had skills that were different
on the team, each would do his own part
together they focused on trusting the work
they put in when they trained from the heart
Great teams do something worth noting
The players commit to each other
to give all they’ve got in pursuit of the prize
training side by side like they're brothers
We're the players on team USA
it's past time we decide to commit
to unify and ignore the dividers
who are focused on their benefit
The dividers are people and groups
that routinely sell them versus us
the uniters sell WE and only WE
cause they know WE can't win without trust
Back to the root of the problem
which is, "What is the sport that we’re in",
how do we score, what are the rules,
what do we do to become champion
Is it touchdowns we need or home-runs
to be fastest or sink holes in one
to be highest or strongest or get the most goals
to be the greatest team under the sun
Consider the sport that we’re playing
has no balls, nets or hoops to shoot into
just the gifts that we have to share with the team
so we leave the world better when we’re through
Whatever we decide that we're playing
we all need to play as ONE team
unlike sports that we watch on tv
It's TRUE life not trophies that’s our dream
True life has joy and has challenge
that properly invites us to rise
to the occasion that faces all great teams
walk in truth or collapse in the lies
We control the narrative
now more than it’s ever been
A habit forms in 30 days,
each day’s practice syncs it in
So, before you say it, ask yourself,
“Am I saying this to build him up?”
Before you do it, self reflect,
“Am I doing this to fill her cup?”
Say “Thank You” and really mean it
every morning as you wake up
Ask “What’s my purpose?”
till you no longer have to make up
reasons why you hate yourself.
Then live on purpose, don’t break up
commit to let love take us up
to a better USA
learning to love all of itself.
Can I count on you to practice this
for 30 days and then
You’ll speak love, do love, live love
and that’s the only way we’ll win!
So since we've tried so many things
except the habit above
Let's use our power to unify
and start asking "How Bout Love"
Join us on this journey to a better America
Be inspired and reminded to create a more perfect union
