Yearning to Breathe Free
A country of immigrants’ children
Living on a graveyard of natives
All men are created equal
Forget that if you’re not a man
Slavery is old and outdated,
But your clothes, made by faraway children
Say otherwise
Freedom of religion for one religion
No freedom of speech for the unspoken
Ask what you can do for your country
How is that possible when your country
Doesn’t allow you to change a thing
A house divided does not stand
Say those who divide
Race only matters
If it makes you seem more tolerant
But there’s only one race: the human race
Dividing itself for its own good
Diversity if you accommodate
A great white mansion built by the black
Still in fetters
A house of freedom made by the enslaved
Our nation’s flag red, white, and blue
But there’s no Bill of Rights for you
If you don’t fit the right bill
The right to bear arms
For protection against those with arms
