[Verse 1]
C                              G 
  I've been thinking about the 
    C                    G
news,   daddy leaves it on all day 
through.
C                              G 
  I've been thinking about the 
   C                           G
wars   and to be honest, I can't 
take it anymore.
  Em             C        Em 
I hear you every day, the awful 
             C
words you say,
    G          Em     C          
but hate can't be the face of the
          G         G
 American   Dream.

[Verse 2]
C                             G   
  I've been thinking about my life
 C                             
   and how one day I wanna be a 
 G
mother and a wife,
C                                  
  I've been scared of that thought 
G   C                            
too   in a world of struggle, 
      G
what are we gonna do?
  Em             C                 
I hear you every day, saying "it's 
Em        C
gonna be okay"

     Em          A                 
that change is a choice and it can

start with me.

[Verse 3]
C                                  
  And I've been thinking about our 
G      C                         
mother   and how they took her 
        G
away from her people.
C                       G       
  Put her in a boarding school, 
C                                 
  away from her brother, sister 
  G
and   culture.
      Em             C            
I can hear her every night saying,
        Em              C
 "we've gotta make this right"
       G          Em     C       
'cause hate can't be the face of 
             G       Gsus4     G
the American   Dream.

And change is a choice and it can

And change is a choice and it can 
C          G
start with   you.
