Change!

A long hard look is needed An approach from outside the box We have come a long, long way since the pilgrims at Plymouth rock and we have changed oh yes we have we have changed We have fought against others, ourselves. Of both local and worldly disputes. And now we fight men who have nothing but tyranny in their minds but they can change oh yes we can we all can change For many years we have fought oppression hatred in all its forms Discriminating because of ones appearance tolerance is the norm can we change oh yes we can we can change America we fight to remain the few the proud the true but we are sick we need to back down eat some soup sit on the couch and watch a flick then we can change oh yes we can we can change When our heart beats strong America, we are mighty! It seems as if time itself beats to the sound of our marching band As if we are the lifeline to the world dangling, helpless and fighting for its life, not even aware I believe we can change oh yes we can we can change We mustn't forget that we are strong united as one that these United States of America stand for democracy, freedom! and the right to have a job, and our kids belly's full we have elected the inevitable now we must change oh yes we must change
