Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]As America is right as America is wrong
As America is weak so America is strong
Ain't nobody perfect At least up until now
But now it's the time for the one mind
[C]In this time of darkness
[F]America [G]we need the lig[C]ht
The part that you wro[F]te it on we
got to make it [G]right[F][Gsus4][G]
[Dm]America, [F]Ame[Em]rica
We [Dm]need the light We want the light
[F]We need [Gsus4]you If th[F]e[G][C]
beauty is still [F]the same
[Gsus4]Take me to the beauti
[F]ful [Gsus4]land s[C]
Are you feeding hungry babys
[F]Have you forgotten[Gsus4] them,
hey old [F]lady[Dm]
Most people that are living here
[Em]Have forgotten they got to be re[F]stored the pride,
[Em]justice andlove
Grabbing us from [G]above [Dm]Ameri[G]ca,
[F]Ame[Em]rica
We [Dm]need the light We want the light
[F]We [Gsus4]need you Oh As[F] Ame[Gsus4]rica[G][C]
is true as Amer[F]ica is [Gsus4]false
As America may [G]slave [C]so
America may abolish
Ain't nobody [G]perfect Let
'em all about themselves
But now [C]the time for the
[G]perfect [F]mind[Gsus4][F]
[G]A m[C]erry day,
your beauty can last [F]forever
[G]Open up your eyes [F]we gotta
[Dm]get bett[G]er[Dm]
You're two hundred years
old [Gsus4]today
Come [G]such a long long [F]way
That few words that [Em]you wrote correspond

[Verse 2]
with the words you spoke
[Dm]Get up to what you suppose to say
[F]What Amer[G]ica has to say [F]America,
[Em]America
We [Dm]need the light We want the light
We [G]need you [F]America is peace
[Em]As America is power
As America [Dm]makes peace
as America makes war
[F]Ain't nobody [G]perfect,
at all un[Dm]til now[G][F]
And now it's the time for the perfect mind,
[Em]the perfect mind
We [Dm]need the light We want some light
[F]We need [Gsus4]you[G][Gsus4][G]
As America is brave as America is free
As America is home I see
no reason to leave
Ain't nobody perfect Let all
about themselves
And now it's the time for
the one perfect mind
We need the light We want [F]some [G]light
We need you [Gsus4]We need t[G]he light
We want [Gsus4]some ligh[F]t
[G]We need you America,
[F]Ame[G]rica We want some light
We need the light We need you

And you've gone such a long long way
We [F]need the light We [Gsus4]want some[G] light
We [Gsus4]need you [G]Amer[Gsus4]ica,[G][F][Gsus4][F]
[G]Amer[Gsus4]ica, Amer[F]ica[G] America,
