I came to the USA
Land of the free.
Knowing nothing about this world
Didn’t know anyone
Had to struggle to get here
It wasn’t easy for me
I had to go through some things
I rather not talk about
Life for me was easy
When I got here
But not for my parents
They were the one that
Help me get here
Taught me everything i know
They were the ones that
Brought me into the strange
World where I didn’t know
Nothing about
But I’m happy now
I met new people
Have some cool teachers
That help me through life
I may not be that that smart
But I’m always trying my best
