Who are we? Who will we become?
It might seem to some this land
Was founded on the backs of slaves
But there is more to us than that
And we have certainly changed our ways
We no longer tell you what to do
You must no longer wait to be told
You have developed your own strengths now
You can now stand strong and be bold
But now we have a new leader
Who wants to keep you weak
To receive without your earning
He is not at all what you seek
If it's put into an empty hand
That hand will wait for more
Then you stand like a slave again
Just as you did before
Those who chose to come here
Didn't came for hand outs, you know
It was for new opportunities they came
A new opportunity to grow
But now we all are here
To suck on the Government teat
Not thinking that money is ours
And it's really not much of a treat
The principles that founded our land
Were courage and selfreliance
It was individual determaination
And not some Government compliance
So this message is for all of US
We thought we wanted change
We wanted to get back to our roots
But what we got seems strange
He wants us to be like the others
Like England and France and the rest
To lose our own identity
He thinks that that would be best
Many of us we all know
Came to get away from it all
We must regain our place in the world
Or we're heading straight for a fall
