We are just a step away  from realizing what we strive to be

(Intro)
  
  Laurels, human triumph,  bestowments from the past
  Victories  don't  mean  a  thing if they don't last
                               
             
Bb                F              C            C
We are just marching toward extinction with blinders on our eyes
             
Bb                F                      C                C 
Jeopardizing everything we've learned and come to realize you call that wise?
Bb               F         C
Open your eyes america  Wo-oh!  wo-oh!
 
Bb                        F             C
See through the lies they tell to us  Wo-oh!  wo-oh!
 
Bb                      F           C
Confront the fears that worry us  Wo-oh!  wo-oh!
Bb              F         C
We need a new america  Wo-oh!  wo-oh!     
(
Bb F )
We don't have to be afraid to re-invent we've got to start to build,
Progress, and implement for when we take our fill,
And never pay the price we only build ourselves a fleeting,
false paradise
Solo:
 
 
Bb     F    C
you can live in staunch denial and mark me as your enemy
but I'm just a voice among the throng who want a brighter destiny  
they say with me
Bb               F         C
We are the new america  Wo-oh!  wo-ho!
 
Bb               F          C
this is the new america?  Wo-oh!  wo-oh!
Bb               F         C
We are the new america  Wo-oh!  wo-ho!
 
Bb               F          C
this is the new america?  Wo-oh!  wo-oh!
