Listen to the music: Maestro Sersea – The Immigrant Ballads, Vol. 1
Sing along with the lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I came here to make a difference, I’m ready to fight,
With dreams in my pocket, I’m aiming for the light.
Building a future, putting in the time,
In the land of the brave, where hope starts to climb.
Generations before me, they came with nothing,
With sacrifice and sweat, oh, they kept on running.
America stood strong for all who believed,
Now it’s my turn, can’t you see what I need?
[Chorus]
America, let me come through for you,
I’ll be the best I can be, it’s what I gotta do.
Help me build this nation, make it great once more,
From sea to shining sea, let’s open up that door.
[Verse 2]
Generations ago, they walked in my shoes,
No handouts or favors, just the freedom to choose.
With hearts on fire, and dreams bright and bold,
They paved the way for the stories we’ve told.
No one gave up on them, they fought through the rain,
So don’t give up on me, I’ll rise from this pain.
Together we’ll sow the seeds of tomorrow,
In the fields of hope, we’ll rise up from sorrow.
[Chorus]
America, let me come through for you,
I’ll be the best I can be, it’s what I gotta do.
Help me build this nation, make it great once more,
From sea to shining sea, let’s open up that door.
[Bridge]
So here I stand, with my heart in my hands,
I’ll work for my dreams, in this promised land.
We’re woven together, in a tapestry fine,
With love and respect, our destinies align.
[Chorus]
America, let me come through for you,
I’ll be the best I can be, it’s what I gotta do.
Help me build this nation, make it great once more,
From sea to shining sea, let’s open up that door.
[Outro]
I came here to make a difference, let my voice be clear,
For all of our futures, I’ll stand without fear.
Together we’ll rise, in unity we trust,
America, my home, in dreams we must.
