The Name
Oh that “America” starts with “A”
A sign of starting anew
Perhaps that’s why each new immigrant
Exemplifies ambition too
For whether peasant, master, order, or disaster
Origin discriminates us not
With advent to this fair country
New starts and opportunities each hath bought
Cooked and infused in the “melting pot”
These both all peoples shall taste
And with divine blessing from God above
Ne’er shall you or I ungratefully waste
Discerning politically and rugged individually
Always fight for what you see
And take on the name “American”
By which we know we are free
