Here we are!
Livin our lives in god's grace America
Spending our time of the day from 9 to 5
In buildings
And cubicles
And schools
Following society's standard of what
To spend your day doing
Building out futures
Becoming ourselves, unique

I don't mean to bash on America or anything
I love this place and all it's given me
No ******* on the school system,
For which I am grateful
All I'm saying is
Is that I don't see why Americas so great
When you still haven't seen
The 7 wonders of the world yet
Or held a monkey in the Amazon
Or stayed in a local town
In India
Or swam with turtles in the Caribbean waters
Or experienced what you were meant to do on this world,
See it.

I love my country,
I just think people in it don't think about
What they're living on.
And the things it wants to show you.
