Getting to the Land of the Free**

by lillygrvce

America A country whose streets are paved with gold That gold being opportunity “If I say run, you run.” “If I say hide, you hide.” “If I say swim, you swim.” The journey is a difficult one It is a dangerous and treacherous and gut-wrenching ride People have been lost People will die Just to come to America. Land of the Free** (**some exclusions apply)

I wrote this for a Spanish class assignment, and I just thought I'd share it with you.
