Welcome to America, the Land of the Free
Welcome to America, the land of the free
It was built perfectly for you and for me
There are mountains and beaches, forests full of pines
But not much care about homes below the poverty line
There are people of all different colors and types
But the ones who aren’t white are still obliged to fight
Not long ago, women had a choice
But overturning Roe. V. Wade has taken away their voice
In America, we all gain independence
But all types of people and genders still need acceptance
We immigrate to America so it won’t be as hard
But so many of us are still waiting for our green cards
Children and teens are given the opportunity to go to school and have fun
But there is no end to the police and their guns
People are dying every day and night
And still, we cannot find the goodness in our hearts to do what is right
Welcome to America, the land of the free
It really was built perfectly for you and for me
