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 and love
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
