I was born in a land where kings and queens rule. 

I chose America ’cause it was cool. 

People are loud, people are free, 

People are whoever they want to be. 

And yes, we have a terrible past, 

But the heart of the people won’t let hate last. 

And now a king wants a land of his own, 

Where family and cronies kneel at his throne. 

But we the people are many and strong. 

We vote for a country where all belong. 

So if you feel small and you have no voice, 

Cast your vote. Make your choice. 

I believe in you. I believe in me. 

Together we keep America free.
