It'll Be Alright

One nation under God indivisible
With liberty and justice for all
It was just the other day, oh boy
A kid had a gun instead of havin' a toy
And he didn't run from his brother
'Cause he thought it was game
And the ending is just the same
We gotta get ourselves together, boy
I'm lookin' for love and I'm lookin' for joy
I'm lookin' for peace on the streets
Can I count on you, brother?
Can we make it reality?
When Marvin said, "What's goin' on?" He said it right
So we'll keep movin' on, we won't give up the fight
And it'll be, ooh yeah (alright, come on)
'Cause we're the young Americans
Young Americans, young Americans
We are the young Americans (uh)
And it feels good, yeah, yeah, yeah
Alright (alright)
To be a young American
Yeah, yeah
That's right (ooh)
(Ooh, yeah) young Americans
Let's get it right this time, uh, uh
It was just the other day, oh boy
They told me our lives were bein' destroyed
And there is no hope for the ghetto
'Cause the leaders don't care
And they're leavin' us in despair
There's got to be a better way, oh boy
Got no time to be cruel nor time to be coy
We all took a pledge to the flag
And we count on each other
'Cause each other is all we had
When Marvin said, "What's goin' on?" He said it right
(Said it right, uh, uh)
So we'll keep pressin' on to make the future bright, alright
It's gonna be alright (alright)
'Cause we're the young Americans (uh, uh)
Young Americans (Americans), young Americans
We are the young Americans (come on, come on, come on)
Alright to be a young American
Together wed stand (oh, together)
Divided we fall (oh, we fall, we fall)
But when we stand strong (but when we stand strong)
We fight through it all (fight through it all)
Tomorrow is new (tomorrow is new)
For the red, white and blue (come on, come on)
So let's show them why (show them why)
With God on our side (on our side, on our side)
Wake up, wake up, wake up (it will will be alright)
Young America, awake from the sleeping state
Racism adds fuel to the fire of hate (that's right)
Let's extinguish the flame with the waters of love
Let peace spread like the wings of a dove
The earth is dying (uh) and our lives are slowly ending
Open wounds of despair, scar tissue never mending
So everybody join in the revolution (young Americans)
Don't be part of the problem (young Americans)
Let's make a solution, uh (we are the young Americans)
Clap ya hands, clap ya hands (alright)
Young America, clap ya hands
Young Americans, young Americans (we are)
We are the young Americans (the young Americans)
Alright (alright)
So hold on
Hold on just a little while longer
Got to hold on, y'all
Hold on just a little while longer
One more time, uh
Hold on just a little while longer ('cause we're the young Americans)
Two times, two times (yeah)
Young Americans, young Americans
We are the young Americans (it's gone be)
It'll be alright (brother, won't you hold on?)
Hold on just a little while longer (sister, won't you hold on?)
Young Americans, young Americans (oh, yes we are)
We are the young Americans (we are the young Americans)
It'll be alright, yeah
'Cause we're the young Americans
Young Americans, young Americans
It's gonna be a brighter day, oh, boy
