All I see around me is war, children fighting for their life
Everyone dreams of an utopia, without this terrifying strife
A place to call my home sweet home is what I am seeking for
A country where I have to seize the moment and finally soar
Running from my misery, in desperate need of second chances
Keep trying through hard work, not the make-up that enhances
Many flee towards neighbouring countries but what's the use?
Not enough jobs nor space for us but they have blurred views
Vision is hazy due to darkred blood splattering in their eyes
Fantasies taking over,slowly getting caught up in web of lies
.
.
.
Now I believe I found this promised land of milk and honey
People so open-minded and friendly, weather is always sunny
Because of my language knowledge I managed to build a career
Stable situation, could easily overcome obstacles that appear
Patriotic yet caring spirit combined with a competitive mind
Freedom at last, gone is the need for a blind to hide behind
Realize I'm lucky as one of the few living the American dream
No more suppression, first thing I learned here was self esteem
Can finally gaze in the mirror and be truly proud of who I am
Trust in our Stars and Stripes, attracted by glitter and glam
.
.

2 years later, the rush has faded away and reality now came
No boundaries to the war game but I was too blinded by fame
Couldn't see the problems that even America had to deal with
Been a fool to believe I found peace, guess it's just a myth
War became top priority instead of healthcare and education
Which will eventually be the demise of this powerful nation
But my love for America though will never know its downfall
Because here I did get the chance to climb instead of crawl
My future starts getting darker, captured by sense of despair
Never assumed my one ultimate dream would become a nightmare
