Our children crying in the streets
Over the many devastating defeats
Our health withering away
As we pray to live just one more day
Our mental health in poor condition
Will we live to see results from the terror coalition?
The sun rises and the sun sets day after day
My children only wishing they could go out and play
Oh what it would be like to live in the United States
No Bin Laden to single-handedly determine our fates
There are trees, water, and food galore
We couldn’t dream of anything more
The thought of freedom makes my heart sing
Oh what joy and happiness America could bring
As we watch our fellow countrymen die
It is overpowered by a much louder cry
A cry for a more human society
With people of every variety
A place where there is no hatred
A gift that would always be sacred
That’s why we are certain that justice and liberty
Will be the only thing that will ever set us free.
