Fantasia - America

Light cuts through the crowds illuminating the park Mothers with children walk by Stores open and people come on out into the streets America is open for business This country has done some terrible things Non - withstanding it is our homeland The colonists came here for freedom Persisting - despite the cold and winter snows Now, Thanksgiving has come Yes, we should apologize to our red brothers But this Thanksgiving is the time to think about all you are thankful for In this fantasia - this America
