American Creed

What is your American Creed?

It’s something we should all want for our seed

It’s a privilege that we should all receive

It’s a sign to show that we’re all free

To choose what we believe

Or choose what we want to be

American Creed offers equal opportunity

Grants every person immunity

Helps better communities

And stresses unity

What is your American Creed?

It’s something we should all want for our seed

It’s a privilege that we should all receive

It’s a sign to show that we’re all free

To choose what we believe

Or choose what we want to be
