America (we Need The Light) Lyrics - When Love Is New - Billy Paul

Some have said, down through history 

If you last it's a mystery 

But I guess they don't know, what they're talking about 

From the mountains down to the sea 

You've become such a habit with me 

America, America 

Well I come from, down around Tennesee 

But the people in California 

Are nice to me, America 

It don't matter where I may roam 

Tell you people that it's home sweet home 

America, America 

And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too 

And the red man is right, to expect a little from you 

Promise and then follow through, America 

And the men, who fell on the plains 

And lived, through hardship and pain 

America, America 

And the men who could not fight 

In a war that didn't seem right 

You let them come home, America 

And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too 

And the red man is right, to expect a little from you 

Promise and then follow through, America 

Well I come from, down around Tennesee 

But the people in California 

Are nice to me, America 

It don't matter where I may roam 

And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too 

And the red man is right, to expect a little from you 

Promise and then follow through, America 

Tell you people that it's home sweet home 

America, America 

America, America 

And my brothers are all black and white, yellow too 

And the red man is right, to expect a little from you 

Promise and then follow through, America 

It's home sweet home, Amer-ica 

America, America
