America 2

The giants in the lanky tribes,                                                                                                                                 Abandoned their masters,                                                                                                                                Their overlords in the Isle.                                                                                                                                                    And chose the land of peace                                                                                                                                           And freedom for benefactor.                                                                                                                                                  We in our lands approached America,                                                                                                                              our dream land. And saluted their flag.                                                                                                                            We thought that America would understand.                                                                                                                     In our culture, A friend does not need                                                                                                                          To tell his friend that he is hungry.                                                                                                                                    A friend sees the hunger in your face                                                                                                                      And does something. Yet, it is not late.                                                                                                                We the children now say not like our fathers,                                                                                                           That we stand with America.                                                                                                                                  Now we hope they should understand!
