American Girl (2017)

Land of the free
And home of the brave
Lucky for me
I don't need to be saved.

I'm sitting here now with my heat blasting high
Safe as can be but still needing to cry.

My family is white
My forefathers were free
How blessed I should feel
How great to be me.

I'm watching the news and the stories of hate
I finally feel that we're not yet so great.

Born on this soil
With siblings and friends
All in this together
Till the border ends.

I'm shocked by this country every day more
I tried to be hopeful, but now I'm not sure.
