No Substitutions

©2014 David Moody

My brand-new future arrived today

And I can’t wait to open it

‘Cause I know where I’ve been and

Things just can’t stay this way

But I’ve been prayin’ and hopin’

It will be so much better

My brand-new future arrived today

And Lord knows I’ve been waiting

‘Cause I’ve seen this life
And I’ve seen the way

Of the ones who live their whole lives hating...

It could be so much better

Life could be so much better today

If we finally took a stand

Your congressman will not read your letter today

And you hold the losing hand

Life could be so much better today

If we lived by the Constitution

It is the LAW here in this “Promised Land” - and by the way,

We accept NO SUBSTITUTIONS

Our brand-new future arrived today

How are we going to use it?

To restore our pride in the U.S.A.,

Or let someone else abuse it?

We could do so much better

This brand-new future just arrived today

I’m excited and I’m nervous

Because we need to do something right away

To stop this immense disservice

We can make it so much better
