Red White And Blue
Beyond Red, White & Blue: Celebrating Diversity in Harmony
Lyrics
13 - RED, WHITE & BLUE
Introduction to the theme of "Red, White & Blue."
It's not all red, white and blue
Not everything is characterized by the colors of the American flag.
There's a whole lotta others too
There is diversity beyond the patriotic colors.
This world has a rainbow hue, thank God
The world is diverse, symbolized by a rainbow of colors, and gratitude is expressed for this diversity.
It's not all red, white and blue
Reiteration that the world extends beyond red, white, and blue.
My oldest friend is Jewish
Personal disclosure of having a Jewish friend, emphasizing diversity.
My politics are blue-ish
Political inclination is described as leaning towards the Democratic party.
I'll let you live as you wish
A commitment to allowing others to live freely, reciprocating the same expectation.
You could do the same for me
A call for mutual respect and tolerance.
I'm an Okie boy from Bristow
Personal background mentioned as being from Bristow, Oklahoma.
I've got neighbors who love disco
Acceptance of neighbors with different tastes (disco), promoting harmony.
I'm glad to tell you this though
Proudly acknowledging positive relationships despite differences.
We get on just famously
Emphasis on amicable coexistence with diverse individuals.
It's not all red, white and blue

There's a whole lotta others too
Underlining the presence of a wide range of colors in the world.
This world has a rainbow hue, thank God
Gratitude expressed for the diverse and colorful world.
It's not all red, white and blue
Repeated affirmation that the world extends beyond patriotic colors.
Seven billion folks and growing
Population growth and the uncertainty of the future are acknowledged.
Quarter million years, still going
Recognition of the enduring nature of humanity over a long span of time.
Where we'll end up there's no knowing
Uncertainty about the future, but a celebration of current existence.
But for now we're all still here
Emphasis on the current shared existence of all people.
Six thousand languages between us
The vast linguistic diversity among humans is acknowledged.
Just one single genus
Highlighting the commonality of belonging to the same biological classification (genus).
Folks say humankind they mean us
Recognition that when people say "humankind," it refers to all of us.
So the one thing that is clear
Clarity about the commonality among humans, emphasizing unity.
It's not all red, white and blue
Reiteration of the theme, emphasizing the world's diversity.
There's a whole lotta others too
Repeating the idea that the world is more than just red, white, and blue.
This world has a rainbow hue, thank God
Expressing gratitude for the colorful and diverse world.
It's not all red, white and blue
Emphasizing again that the world is not limited to patriotic colors.
I tell you what, we need to do more dancing
Advocating for more joyful activities like dancing to enhance the human experience.
We did it once, let's do it all again
Encouraging a repetition of positive and enjoyable experiences, such as dancing.
Cause it's hard to keep from grinning when you're dancing
Linking dancing to happiness, suggesting its positive impact on mood.
So let's all holler WHOOPEE while we spin
Suggesting collective celebration with a joyful expression (WHOOPEE) during dancing.
It's not all red, white and blue
Reiterating the diversity of the world, excluding the red, white, and blue.
There's a whole lotta others too
Reaffirming the presence of a variety of colors in the world.
This world has a rainbow hue, thank God
Expressing gratitude for the diverse and colorful world.
It's not all red, white and blue
Final affirmation that the world is not solely characterized by red, white, and blue.
It's not all red, white and blue
Closing repetition of the overarching theme of diversity.
