Lookin' for a Leader
To bring our country home
Re-unite the red white and blue
Before it turns to stone
Lookin' for somebody
Young enough to take it on
Clean up the corruption
And make the 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 waling 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
Someone walks among us
And I hope he hears the call
And maybe it's a woman
Or a black man after all
To bring our country home
Re-unite the red white and blue
Before it turns to stone
Lookin' for somebody
Young enough to take it on
Clean up the corruption
And make the 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

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
Someone walks among us
And I hope he hears the call
And maybe it's a woman
Or a black man after all

CERCANDO UN LEADER
Cercare un leader
Per riportare a casa il nostro paese
Per riunire il rosso bianco e blu
Prima che si pietrifichi, no?
Cercare qualcuno
Abbastanza giovane da farsene carico
Ripulendo la corruzione
e da rendere la nazione forte
Passeggiando tra la nostra gente
C’è qualcuno che è giusto e forte
Da condurci fuori dalla desolazione
E da un mondo spaccato e guasto
Qualcuno cammina tra noi
Ed io spero che ascolti “la chiamata”
E forse sarà una donna
Od un uomo nero, dopo tutto
Sì forse è Obama
Ma pensa di essere troppo giovane
Forse sarà Colin Powell
Per correggere quello che ha fatto di sbagliato
L’America ha un leader
Ma egli non sta nella Casa (Bianca)
Egli sta camminando qui in mezzo a noi
E noi dobbiamo cercare di scoprirlo
Sì, abbiamo avuto le nostre elezioni
Ma la corruzione ha una possibilità
Abbiamo il diritto ad una vittoria limpida
Per riacquistare fiducia
L’America è bellissima
Ma possiede un lato brutto
Noi stiamo cercando un leader
In questo paese in lungo ed in largo
Noi stiamo cercando un leader
Con un grande spirito dalla sua parte
qualcuno sta camminando tra noi
ed io spero che ascolti la chiamata
E forse sarà una donna
Od un uomo nero, dopo tutto
Cercare un leader
Per riportare a casa il nostro paese
Per riunire il rosso bianco e blu
Prima che si pietrifichi, no?
Cercare qualcuno
Abbastanza giovane da farsene carico

La versione 2020 contro Trump
LOOKIN' FOR A LEADER - 2020
Leaders walk among us
And I hope they hear our call
Maybe it's a woman
Or a black man after all
Lookin' for a leader
To bring our country home
Reunite the red white and blue
Before it turns to stone
Lookin' for somebody
With the strength to take it on
Keep us safe together
And make this country strong
Walkin' among our people
There's someone to lead us on
Need a rainbow of colors
In a broken world gone wrong
Yeah we had Barack Obama
And we really need him now
The man who stood behind him
Has to take his place somehow
America has a leader
Buildin' walls around our house
Who don't know black lives matter
And we got to vote him out
We got our election
But corruption has a chance
We got to have a big 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
Just like his big new fence
This president's going down
America's moving forward
You can feel it in every town
Scared of his own shadow
Buildin' walls around our house
He's hiding in his bunker
Something else to lie about
We don't need a leader
Building walls around our house
Who don't know black lives matter
And it's time to vote him out
We're lookin' for a leader
With the great spirit on his side
Lookin' for a leader
In this country far and wide
We're lookin' for a leader
With the great spirit on his side
Leaders walk among us
And I hope they hear our call
Maybe it's a woman
Or a black man after all
Lookin' for a leader
To bring our country home
Reunite the red white and blue
Before it turns to stone
Lookin' for somebody
With the strength to take it on
Keep us safe together
And make this country strong
