I am a human I pretend time can be slowed I feel good in the warmth of the Sun I touch the Earth and it feels stable I worry about the planet I cry when I think of the horseshoe crab: if it leaves us, it will never come back I am a human I am an American I wonder about my country's future I hear the music of its people I see the beauty of its land I want us to live "long and prosper" I am an American I am a man I understand myself I say I will be OK! I dream in color I try to grow I hope for peace I am a man
