In Search of America
“Love can be our only offering… the answer lies with you”
Step right up for this magic ride…
Our wings will take us through the countryside!
No need to run, no need to hide…
The spirit of God is waiting inside
*
Everyday, to the Lord I pray,
Give America just one more day!
I know she’s good, she’ll find a way!
His voice came back with a ricochet
*
In search of America!
Angels singing with their orchestra!
If there be another replica,
The answer lies with you!
Only you, you, you!
*
Couldn’t sing about a better thing!
Strength from God the angels will bring
Love can be our only offering!
Our country’s dying!
So let the bell ring! So let the bell ring!
Hey, hey, hey!
*
In search of America!
John and Robert! Ooh Martin Luther!
In search of America! Oh, yea!
John and Robert! Ooh Martin Luther! Yea…!
*
We’re the “in search of America, the right to know” tour!
Yes, I love America, that’s what I’m here for
Coming to your town to knock on your door…!
*
Everybody’s wavin’ the red, white and blue…
But are you true Americans? Hey! Talkin’ to you!
You say you’re patriotic? Tell me what do you do?
No faith in your country, in God, nor you!
*
Come out from the cities, come out from the streets
Say “hi, hello!” to the brothers and sisters you meet!
Give some help to the children, no shoes on their feet…
Give some food to the hungry! Give them something to EEEEEEE-EAT!
*
In search of America, the right to know tour
Yes, I love America, that’s what I’m here for
If there be another replica,
The answer lies with you…
The answer lies with you…
The answer lies with you…
