Billy Paul - America lyrics

rate me

As America is right as America is wrong

As America is weak so America is strong

Ain't nobody perfect At least up until now

But now it's the time for the one mind In this time of darkness

America we need the light

The part that you wrote it on we got to make it right

America, America

We need the light We want the light

We need you If the beauty is still the same

Take me to the beautiful lands

Are you feeding hungry babys

Have you forgotten them, hey old lady

Most people that are living here

Have forgotten they got to be restored the pride, justice andlove

Grabbing us from above America, America

We need the light We want the light

We need you Oh As America is true as America is false

As America may slave so America may abolish

Ain't nobody perfect Let'em all about themselves

But now the time for the perfect mind

A merry day, your beauty can last forever

Open up your eyes we gotta get better

You're two hundred years old today

Come such a long long way

That few words that you wrote correspond with the words you spoke

Get up to what you suppose to say

What America has to say America, America

We need the light We want the light

We need you America is peace As America is power

As America makes peace as America makes war

Ain't nobody perfect, at all until now

And now it's the time for the perfect mind, the perfect mind

We need the light We want some light

We need you As America is brave as America is free

As America is home I see no reason to leave

Ain't nobody perfect Let all about themselves

And now it's the time for the one perfect mind

We need the light We want some light

We need you We need the light We want some light

We need you America, America We want some light

We need the light We need you

You're two hundred years old today

And you've gone such a long long way

We need the light We want some light

We need you America, America, America America,

America, America America, America

We need the light We want some light
