To Be American
Summary
Poem
Being American means to be free
After all, they say, it’s the land of the free
Do what you want, be who you wanna be
From sea to shining sea.
Immigrants come to have a better life.
To provide for their family, day and night
Oh, and did I mention that education is free?
From sea to shining sea.
Start poor but you can become rich
Anything is possible, anything you wish
Whether it’s out of the blue, or on your to do list.
That’s the American Dream
This country is very diverse
You can believe what you want to believe
Just strive to be great
And you can succeed
We are:
Fun, Loving, Welcoming, Caring, Hardworking
Independent, Outgoing, Friendly, Competitive
And so much more.
We come in all colours
This is the new wave
There are so many opportunities
The Home of the Brave
