Track: Lookin' for a Leader

Lyrics
Lookin' for a leader
To bring our country home
Reunite the red, white and blue
Before it turns to stone
Lookin' for somebody
Young enough to take it on
Clean up the corruption
And make the country strong

Walkin' among our people
There's someone who's straight and strong
To lead us from desolation
And a broken world gone wrong
Someone walks among us
And I hope he hears the call
And maybe it's a woman
Or a black man after all

Yeah, maybe it's Obama
But he thinks that he's too young
Maybe it's Colin Powell
To right what he's done wrong
America has a leader
But he's not in the house
He's walkin' here among us
And we've got to seek him out

Yeah, we've got our election
But corruption has a chance
We got to have a clean win
To regain confidence
America is beautiful
But she has an ugly side
We're lookin' for a leader
In this country far and wide

We're lookin' for a leader
With the Great Spirit on his side
Lookin' for a leader
With the Great Spirit on his side

Someone walks among us
And I hope he hears the call
And maybe it's a woman
Or a black man after all
