THAT'S WHAT MAKES US GREAT

They come from everywhere all longing to be free
They come to join us here from sea to shining sea
And they all have a dream as people always will
To be safe and warm in that shining city on the hill

Some wanna slam the door instead of opening the gate
Ah let's turn this thing around now before it gets too late
It's up to me and you, love can conquer hate
I know this to be true, that's what makes us great

Don't tell me a lie and sell it as a fact
I've been down that road before and I ain't going back
And don't you brag to me that you never read a book
I never put my faith in a con man and his crooks

I won't follow down that path and tempt the hands of fate
Ah let's turn this thing around before it gets too late
It's up to me and you, love can conquer hate
I know this to be true, that's what makes us great

In the quiet of the night I lie here wide awake
And I ask myself is there a difference I can make

Is there a difference I can make
It's up to me and you, love can conquer hate
It's up to me and you, love can conquer hate
It's up to me and you, love can conquer hate
I know this to be true and that's what makes us great
That's what makes us great
That's what makes us great
That's what makes us great
