Nick Leary - America

Welcome to America, the best country of all
Where it is very diverse, black, white, short and tall
Freedom isn't free as our soldiers fight for it
Some take it for granted. Do I? Not a bit.
Without them I would worry day after day
If all of our liberties were taken away
Instead the soldiers protect our great states
Knowing death for their nation could be their fates.
