Lyrics
I’m Not An Immigrant
I’m not a label; man I’m simply a son
I try to see good in everyone
If I have a husband, or I have a wife
I’m an American, so I have a life
I’m not a woman, need I say more?
I own my body, as you own yours
I have the strength, and I have a voice
I’m an American, so I have a choice
(Bridge)
All things being equal, people are people
Most everyone wants the same things
A safe, happy family, a life for their children
The freedom to hope and to dream
I’m not a Muslim, Christian or Jew
I’m not Agnostic, and I don’t judge you
It’s not religion that defines who we are
I’m an American; it comes from the heart
I’m not white or black, red, yellow or brown
Colors don’t matter, but character counts
I stand for what’s right and doing what’s just
I’m an American; it’s kindness and love
(Bridge)
All things being equal, people are people
Most everyone shares the same needs
A safe, happy family, a life for their children
It shouldn’t be as hard as it seems
I’m not an immigrant; a political pawn
I’m not a refugee, a motherless son
I’d walk, swim, or crawl to your distant shores
I’ve been American since the day I was born
I've been American since the day I was born
I've been American...
Since the day I was born
