I Came To America
I came to America,
Either by choice or by force.
I came to America to share in the American Dream. Or should I say the human dream.
I came to America hoping all of my dreams would come true.
That all of my nightmares would disappear.
I came to see the great landscape of the North American continent.
The beaches of Southern California,
The tall skyscrapers of the big cities.
A place called Disneyland and all that it represents.
I came to America,
For I had nowhere else to go,
All I wanted was a place to pursue my silly dreams.
All I wanted was a place to call home.
But they never told me how it would be so hard,
Never told me how there would be those who would wish me harm.
But still I long for the country that I have always envisioned.
Had always hoped was out there.
