G#m
Lookin' for a leader 
   F#                G#m
To bring our country home
G#m
Re-unite the red white and blue
  F#               G#m
Before it turns to stone

E
Lookin' for somebody
B                       F#
Young enough to take it on
G#m
Clean up the corruption
    F#               G#m
And make our country strong
 
Walkin' 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
And maybe it's a woman
Or a black man after all
 
Yeah 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 walkin' 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 lookin' for a leader
in this country far and wide
 
We're lookin' for a leader
With the Great Spirit on his side

We're lookin' 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
