Alternate lyrics for 2020 version:

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
