Make America True

So, what does America mean to me?

Plenty equality, freedom, and peace?

All I can say, if I’m saying the least

Is America’s lacking the free.

America’s lacking the free.

A bird can’t fly if it’s trapped in a cage,

A deer can’t run if it’s stopped by a wall.

So if the American eagle can’t fly,

The American dream could fall.

For what am I supposed to do?

Come up to a wall and walk right through?

If democracy won’t let everyone through

Is liberty and freedom true?

This is the question that I ask you.

From small children to young adults,

From the lower class to minorities,

Through the strength of American liberty,

All of these people must be free.

But free? What does that mean?

How should I know, at the age of fourteen?

If the American people don’t know what it means

Is America really the land of the free?

This is the question that I ask you.

To achieve freedom, what should we do?

We must come together throughout the nation,

And ensure that all equality is true.

True for me, and true for you.

True for the wealthy and poor alike.

So back to my question, what should we do?

At only fourteen, it takes me and you.

So help the American dream come true.

Equal for me, and equal for you.

This will then create an example

Of an America that’s finally true.
