I Saw A Sign Lyrics

Mama I saw a guy with a sign walking back and forth

Beside the fountain in the park downtown today

Mama I am so confused and a little bit ashamed

Cause my teacher said that in the USA

Everyone's the same

But that guy with the sign says I'm different

That guy with the sign says that I just don't belong.

Is that what everyone believes?

Do they all want us to leave?

Is that guy with the sign right or wrong?

I saw a sign

It made me angry

I saw a sign

It made me sad

Cause that guy with the sign

Even though he doesn't know us

Is telling everyone who also do not know us that we're bad.

So mama, is it true?

Is there something wrong with me and you?

Is that guy with the sign right or wrong?

Tell me, Mama

Is there something that I can do better?

Is there something for which I should apologize?

Mom, I swear I just don't understand

What we've done to to cause the kind of anger

That I see in this man's eyes

Mama you've taught me well

To know the difference between bad and good

Is something you've left out?

Cause I would change it if I could

Mama I saw a guy with a sign walking back and forth

Beside the fountain in the park downtown today

Mama I am so confused and a little bit ashamed

Cause my teacher said that in the USA

Everyone's the same

Teacher said that in the USA

Everyone's the same
