Lyrics

They came with nothing more than the shirt upon their back
And a dream about America
Landed in a world they could not understand
Welcome to America

Broken English, labor lines, working for the daily bread
Whatever it takes to take one step ahead

We come from rich we come from poor
What we come here looking for
Is just a simple basic fundamental right
We want a choice. Give us a voice
That will be heard above the noise
And we'll be first in line when it comes our time to fight
The pursuit of happiness is not without sacrifice
So we do what we must to provide
All for a better life
We all want a better life

He gets up at 4am for an eighteen-hour day
Somewhere in America
Swingin' a hammer, hittin' the books for the one that's on the way
The future of America

Sunday sermons, keeping the faith, living like the good book says
Whatever it takes to take one step ahead

We come from rich we come from poor
What we come here looking for
Is just a simple basic fundamental right
We want a choice. Give us a voice
That will be heard above the noise
And we'll be first in line when it comes our time to fight
The pursuit of happiness is not without sacrifice
So we do what we must to provide
All for a better life
We all want a better life

We come from rich we come from poor
What we come here looking for
The pursuit of happiness is not without sacrifice
So we do what we must to provide
It's All for a better life
We all want a better life
