Everybody Wants To Be An American Poem by Dorsey Baker

Everybody wants to be
An American
For peace and prosperity
America is the place to be

Everybody wants to be an American
No matter where you come from
You want to be in America
You want to call it home

Everybody wants to be an American
Trying to get to America
Coming from a long distance away
Become an American
In America
That is where
You want to stay

Everybody wants t be an American
In America
That's where everybody
Wants to live
In America
Because they think
That is
Where freedom is!
