Subject: welcome to America

Welcome To America


There is a woman who beckons a call
Out in a harbor she stands tall
Wields a torch for all to see
Offering peace and liberty

Left my home for a better chance
Wanted an opportunity to advance
Found my way to the land of plenty
Now i am labeled as a minority

I feel guilty and want to sob
When i get accused for stealing a job
All i want is what America yields
Even if i have to work the fields

The lady says to bring me your tired
Freedom to work is all i desired
Tired of not having a voice
To make a decision, to make a choice

The lady says to bring me your hungry
So i came to the land of milk and honey
Left a nation succumbed by oppression
To become an excuse for your recession

The lady says to bring me your poor
I strive to give my family more
As i stepped upon your soil
I am the reason for angst and turmoil

Are you intimidated by me
Being here in the land of the free
Or is prejudice what you crave
sheltered in your home of the brave
