Song: I Hear America Singing (My Version)

I hear America singing, The girl next door sings her life with great aria, As she gets the new Lexus she always wanted, While... The boy in my dreams sings his sorrow, As they bury his mom's coffin... Have you heard their songs? Your turn will come, my child, Your turn will come. Little Timmy down the ally sings warmth and comfort, As his mom holds him tight from the bitter cold, While... Little Angelica sings anger, As her parents do not grant her wish, A big pony for her birthday! Have you heard their songs? Your turn will come, my child, Your turn will come, my child. I have heard their songs, I am the song they sing, Will you come and hear their songs, too?
