They say life is a gift,
That love bridges the rifts,
They say 'follow your dreams',
They ask you to come clean.
But what if life is greedy and shallow,
Driven by heads and hearts that are hollow,
Our lady stands upon her pedestal,
Her brazen torch a beacon for the free,
For in her stance, she breaches the hull,
Her sirens song, arise the refugee,
To close our walls, such a righteous disguise,
Stop- (of an event, action, or process) come to an end cease to happenStop- To come to an endStop- To come toStop- an end
America now
Sees mental illness
As something taboo to talk about
Outside of a hospital,
As something to suppress so long as I get that ‘A’,
As something not legitimate next to a broken leg,
Discrimination against our fathers and brothers that come from other nations, just to build this better nation
Get called rapist, drug addicts and criminals
My whole life I've spent marching,
Steadily trodding towards the finish line,
As I go, I see those around me fall
But I also see some had gotten a head start.
America! Amercia!
Land of the free
Home of the brave and equality
Oh how I want to believe.
America! Amercia!
Home of the brave!
I'll march for your freedom
into my grave, and
We sit here and go through the motions of an everyday life
They tell you go to school, get a degree, and work for the rest of time
As the morning has appeared
The air is clear, the sky so clean
My lungs breath in, a sense of victory
My pockets full of little things
Like paper bills, in shades of green
A family has gathered 'round
The American dream, to a boy of thirteen seems to be the only way out of the heartache and cloud,
he wants to acheive the visions he sees, tell his story of his way out.
what is the American dream?
is it when Columbus discover America in 1492?
of course he did, but did you know he enslave people to find gold that only he will gain out of greed
