Home Of The Estranged

   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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 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

[Chorus]

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
