"Lookin' For A Leader" lyrics

"Lookin' For A Leader"

Looking for a leader to bring our country home
Re-unite the red, white and blue before it turns to stone
Looking for somebody young enough to take it on
Clean up the corruption and make the country strong

Walking 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
Maybe it's a woman or a black man after all

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 walking 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 looking for a leader in this country far and wide
We're looking for a leader with The Great Spirit on his side
Looking 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
