Is it too much to ask to open up your heart
For we can know no peace while we're worlds
apart
I think the very key to to all this starts
Is to break down each wall that we built
'round ideas so ridgid, so sharp
Yes its time for a change, there can be no more
We can't dig our heads in the sand and
pretend like generations before
The time is now to grow and its time to heal
So we must all stand and demand with the
strength of vanadium steel
Help me shake these branches
Watch the leaves fall down
See it in their faces
That change is comin round
Turn this American Nightmare into an
American Dream
We can use our voices til we've all been heard
Show them with our choices
And live by our own words
Change this American Nightmare into an
American Dream
If you want to know how this all could end
Well just look back in time and you'll find
What's happening now happened then
It's time we all wake up its time that We See
That where there's no justice there's no
chance that we can be free
We can love our brother the way that we all should
Heal the scars that bind, use the pain for something good
Change this American nightmare
Into an American dream
We can use our voices til we've all been heard
Show them with our choices
And live by our own words
Change this American Nightmare into an
American Dream
So Help me shake these branches
Watch the leaves fall down
See it in their faces
That change is comin round
Change this American Nightmare into an
American Dream
Let's wake up from this American Nightmare
To live the American Deam
