  			Verso 1:
   G                       C 
Oh give me a home where we aren’t so alone 
          G                            D 
Where the black and the white children play 
      G                     C 
Where seldom is heard an offhand racial slur 
    G         D            G 
And my Muslim sisters feel safe 


G 
Home of the estranged 
                                       D7 
Where the white and the black children play 
     G                           C 
Some peace is preferred, let the county lines blur 
        G              D              G 
And the preachers hold hands with the gays 

Verso 2: 
          G                     C 
Corporate motives are pure, politicians stay free 
      G                              D 
Of corruption and work to better our lives 
         G                     C 
Liberals beggin for change, politely from the stage 
         G         D           G 
The vice president nods and he smiles 
    G                          C 
The natives of our land, we so brutally banned 
         G                          D 
From the beauty they were born into first 
          G                     C 
It’s been 200 years, since that damn trail of tears 
       G                   D          G 
Yet we still hate them for loving the earth 


G 
Home of the estranged 
                                D7 
Human life is not a resource to trade 
      G                      C 
It is not so absurd, to hear out the perturbed 
       G            D                G 
We all see the same things different ways 

Verso 3: 
    G                         C 
How often at night, stumbling bodega bright 
     G                          D 
Neon lights burn like synthetic stars 
     G                     C 
Bums ponder below, spare a quarter or so? 
           G         D           G 
Does their wisdom exceed that of ours? 
       G                           C 
Pick a blue lotus flower from this dear land of ours 
      G                              D 
If it helps you start to hear people cry 
     G                            C 
On a child to annoint, or you can lace it in your joint 
       G        D            G 
I wish everyone felt just as high 

 
G 
Home of the estranged 
                            D7 
Where no one has to wake up afraid 
          G                               C 
There’s a love we could learn, that would cover the world 
    G           D          G 
I believe it’ll happen someday 

Outro 
          G                               C         Cm 
There’s a love we could learn, that would cover the world 
    G           D          C   G 
I believe it’ll happen someday
