Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been thinking about the news
Daddy leaves it on all day through
I've been thinking about the wars
And to be honest, I can't take it anymore
[Verse 2]
I hear you everyday
The awful words you say
[Verse 3]
But hate can't be
The face of the American Dream
[Verse 4]
I've been thinking about my life
And how one day I wanna be a mother and a wife
I've been scared of that thought too
In a world of struggle, what are we gonna do?
[Verse 5]
I hear you everyday
Saying, "it's gonna be okay"
[Verse 6]
But hate can't be
The face of the American Dream
[Verse 7]
And I know
We've got a long way to go
But I've got to believe
That change is a choice and it can start with me
[Verse 8]
And I've been thinking about our mother
And how they took her away from her people
Put her in a boarding school
Away from her brother, sister, and culture
[Verse 9]
I can hear her every night
Saying, "we've gotta make this right"
[Verse 10]
'Cause hate can't be
The face of the American Dream
[Verse 11]
And I know
We've got a long way to go
But I've got to believe
That change is a choice and it can start with me
[Verse 12]
And change is a choice and it can start with me
And change is a choice and it can start with you
