America You Make Me Poem by Dorsey Baker

Don't shut me down America
let my eyes stay open
let me see the sun
Don't shut me down America
because if I'm shutdown
don' nothing run

Do everything you can
to keep me working
because if you shut me down
America all of you
will surely be hurting

Don't shut me down America
my fate you hold in your hand
I need to keep working
do all you can
Don't shut me down America
let my eyes
stay open
let me see the sun
Don't shut me down America
because if I'm shut down
don't nothing run!
