What Would You Change
Location
Welcome To America
This is what I would change
Welcome to America the land of the free
The modernized, uncivilized cage
Where soldiers fight for liberty
But the residents never use freedom’s key
For we are still stuck on slavery’s page
When will we turn to see that this is a new age
You can hold a lion down
And expect him to be the actor on your stage
If you keep a lion caged you only drive it to rage
When will he be free, and win back his crown
He was meant to be more, than what you let him be
You can hear it in his ancestors heartbeat
Even though chains and shackles you can’t see
The mind still remains in captivity
And it’s time to give him freedom’s seat
Welcome to America the would-be-free
If you would open our eyes that are blind
To see, that the lion you held was me
But there are many others like the one you see
But beware, because a more benevolent lion you will never find
