Heather's Letters to Her Mother Songtext
von Becca Stevens

Hey ma, I′ve got a new job keeping me happy
Fighting for the rights to the ones who need it the most
It's what I always wanted to do
Finally, it′s driven by the words I learned from you
That we got nothing without love
And one another

Hey ma, there was a new guy keeping me happy
But he had a problem being kind to people who don't look like him
And when I saw him looking down on my friends
I said, you'll never love me if you can′t love them
′Cause we've got nothing without love

And I let him go
(We′ve got nothing without love)
(We've got nothing without love) we′ve got nothing to each other on

Hey ma, the news is getting me down
We've got so far to go
And too little love to go around
People are saying we don′t deserve to be here


Well, this is not new
This is not the America I know
So ma, we're gonna stand strong tomorrow
So every child is able to sing with new meaning
Of peace and love and liberty
Their home is ever lost till we let freedom ring

'Cause we′ve got nothing without (without love)each other, hey ma
I wish you could see the streets today
Oh, oh, we can cover so much ground
When we hold each other up along the way

Everyone is proud to be here
′Cause liberty for you and me
Is the miracle we know

Mama, you got a new job from now on
You gotta finish my story
Pick up from where I left off
No, they can't quiet us down
And every time they try, we′re gonna
Sing it out a thousand times as loud


We've got nothing without love
We′ve got nothing without love
We've got nothing without love
This is not love, this is not the America we know (we′ve got nothing without love)
This is not love, this is not the America we know (we've got nothing without love)
This is not love, this is not the America we know (we've got nothing without love)
We′ve got nothing without love
