Final Chorus If you wanna see what democracy looks like Watch the people marching in the streets 'Cause there are people all over this world Waging peace If you wanna see what democracy looks like Watch the people marching in the streets 'Cause there are people all over this world Waging peace If you wanna see what a patriot looks like Watch the people marching in the streets 'Cause there are people all over this world Waging peace If you wanna see what democracy looks like Watch the people marching in the streets 'Cause there are people all over this world Waging peace © Larry Murante/Weeping Wood Music 2003.
