It's All Up to US


What is this America? Have we lost our integrity? Do we retreat into materialism? Do we no longer expand our minds Beyond ourselves? Have we lost our dream? No, America! I refuse to believe this! I have seen our perseverance; I have seen our brilliance; I have seen us band together as a nation; I have seen us dream And I have seen our dreams come true. And we are still here, Waiting for something better. Wait no more, America! Release your mind from your bonds! Go beyond the limits! There are no limits To American ingenuity! Be proud to be America! Get over your differences And embrace the commonalities Because we are ALL America And America is our country! Hey! You American sitting there! Life’s not as hard as you think, In fact, your life is good! America is a land Of freedom and opportunity. That’s what we’ve fought so hard for! Now, it’s time To give something back to your nation, And it’s as simple as reaching for your dreams. Use your freedom and opportunity! Use the gift America has given, And give back By using your ingenuity, Your productivity and capacity, And start making a change. The change starts with you, American! Come on, man! Dare to achieve! Dare to expand! Dare to dream! Let’s get over our differences And start working together Because we are ALL America And America is our country!
