grateful I am
Location
Over the Mexican Gulf I flew
above the water blue
I'm grateful to stand in the land of the free
a gift that my people wish they'd see
grateful I am to be able to watch
the western sky glow
while my people wish for night to slow
I'm grateful to walk in the land of dreams
the land where so many people take for granted and don't see the streams
where if my people had the same opportunities
they would graduate from the best universities
your fancy clothes, your expensive hat, your pretty bun
in my country would melt in the sun.
So many people ask for miracles
But every day they are engage with miracles
They don't recognize that walking
On this beautiful concrete is a gift.
Ohile my people still walk above dirt and wish for a shift
I am grateful to be in the land of the free
The place of dreams
Where trees can grow on streams.
