Lyrics

Hey Ma,
I got a new job
Keeping me happy
Fighting for the rights of the ones who need it the most It's what I always wanted to do
Finally living by the words I learned from you
That we've got nothing without love
And one another
Hey Ma,
There was a new guy
Keepin' me happy
But he had a problem being kind
To people who don't look like him
And when I saw him lookin' down on my friends
I said you'll never love me if you can't love them,
And we've got nothing without love
So I let him go
Hey Ma,
The news is getting me down
We've got so far to go
And too little love to go around
People are sayin' we don't deserve to be here
Well this is not, no, this is not the America I know
So Ma
We're gonna stand strong tomorrow
So every child is able to sing with new meaning
Of peace and love and liberty
Their home is ever lost 'til we let freedom ring
Cause we've got nothing without each other
Hey Ma,
I wish you could see the streets today
We can cover so much ground
When we hold each other up along the way
Everyone is proud to be here
Cause liberty for you and me is the America we know
Mama,
You got a new job from now on
You gotta finish my story
Pick up from where I left off
And no, they can't quiet us down
And every time they try we're gonna sing a thousand times as loud
We've got nothing without love...
...This is not, no, this is not the America we know
