Why does it matter
what race I am?
what age I am?
what religion I choose?

Where did my freedoms go?
Why should I have to question?
Why should I worry?

Home of the free and land of the brave.
If I were free, I should be able to express myself in complete integrity without being afraid.

Is this not my banner, that we sing?

I thought this was America?

I am deeply astonished to hear that Americans are treating others without respect or acceptance.
