To Be American

 

Te be American is to be free

To live my own life

In my own manner

Without interference from you.

 

To be American is to be willing

To stand up for my rights

To protect them from violation

By you.

 

To be American is to have the courage

To pursue my own dreams

And my own desires

No matter what you wish from me.

 

To be American is to work

Towards my own goals

To my own end

Without sanction from you.

 

To be American is to be an individual

With my own life, right, dreams and goals

To be completely independent

From you.
