Ravi comes from downtown Brooklyn He's lived there all of his life Now he's moving in on Clover Street He's judged because he's not white Ravi and his family are victims Of racism in the U.S.A. And although they've grown very tired It's their home and they're going to stay Why has Ravi grown so accustomed To the prejudice here in the states Don't you think it's time we snapped out of it Love each other and stomp out the hate Ravi wants to move back to Brooklyn But they're unhappy he wanted a mosque Looks like he's stuck in Poughkeepsie Even though he misses home a lot Ravi prays for his whole family And for his neighbors to see someday That all discrimination is pointless And we're an melting pot U.S.A. Why has Ravi grown so accustomed To the prejudice here in the states Don't you think it's time we snapped out of it Love each other and stomp out the hate Ravi's just another American Living in the land of the free Now he's moving to another city Maybe this time they'll just let him be
