From those nights in Tienanmen Square.
It's coming from the feel
That this ain't exactly real,
Or it's real, but it ain't exactly there.

And the machinery for change
And it's here they got the spiritual thirst.
It's here the family's broken
And it's here the lonely say
That the heart has got to open
In a fundamental way,
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
