America Swing Free
America swing free
from the dreams of forgotten pain
embrace the love of all people
think not of colour
but embrace the world of love
step away from the anger of yesterday
no more arguments and fights
let today highlight the needs of people
fight for free education
strive to help your children
be proud of overcoming slavery
now lets step towards overcoming racism
step up to the battle of beating Covid 19
Isolating one state after another
bringing health to all your people
step up to the needs of your economy
creating plans to overcome poverty
look at all people as American
you are not black
you are not white
you are not wogs
you are not Mexican
you are American
one people, one nation, one world
standing tall to make a better planet
teach you people to invest
creating jobs for all your people
Encourage people to builds home's
creating a thriving building industry
reduce interest rates to make loans accessible
encourage people to work
even the cleaner can earn money
to improve his education
make it easy to improve your education
every factory has a board room
that could be used as a classroom
a cleaner can be taught, to become a teacher
a teacher can be taught to become a scientist
help people create their dreams
and build plans, to live their dreams
look after your penny's
and your dollars will look after themselves
your people are your penny's
with each person that becomes a success
their tax improves your economy
when you give a man a pie,
he eats for a day
When your teach a man to create pie's
he becomes a chef and feeds the people
his wages, his tax, improve your economy
If you want to overcome racism
learn that your behaviour creates racism
if you steal money or murder people
it destroys the respect of people
if you want people to be proud of you
become a person that's proud, of your success
