America: a caged dream
There was once a dream
That sought to grow in the minds
of evey human being as a lilly flourishes in the spring
but we are neglecting that lilly
and to me it seems awfully silly
to neglect the very thing that we flaunt and praise
when there are some who cant even get equal pay.
This nation is like a lion in a cage
we seem mighty and feroucious
but folks i am sad to say
It is time to take a step back and look into the cage
The animal is weak skinny and frail
its bones withering and its soul is ready to set sail.
We murder our own kind like they are free game quail
we must water the lilly
we must feed the lion
we must raise the banner
and dream the impossible dream of being truley free
from sea to shinning sea.
