I've heard enough from pundits, | |
I've heard our leaders speak | |
I tell you now | |
I'd rather talk to the people in the streets' | |
Cause you don't know someone until you've looked them in the eye | |
And that gave me a purpose and every reason why | |
I drove myself across | |
America from sea to shining sea | |
From the rocky coast of | |
Maine to the mighty redwood trees | |
From the plains of | |
North Dakota to the | |
Gulf of Mexico | |
It's good to know that hope's alive again across | |
AmericaI spoke to folks in | |
New Orleans with hammers in their hands | |
There's a waitress in | |
Missouri who wants her own health plan | |
And to the workers up in | |
Michigan in all the auto plants | |
There were working men and women saying yes, we can | |
Your checks and stocks and banks can't take our hope away | |
You can't foreclose on hope, nobody has to pay | |
I drove myself across | |
America from sea to shining sea | |
From the rocky coast of | |
Maine to the mighty redwood trees | |
From the plains of | |
North Dakota to the | |
Gulf of Mexico | |
It's good to know that hope's alive again across | |
AmericaIt's good to know that hope's alive again across | |
