To Be An American
words and music by Jedidiah Smith and Lori Stockwell Smith
Born right here in the USA
Been raised in the American way
I'm a typical kid, I guess you'd say
I watch youtube and play video games
There's a lot of others just like me
Who've been told to have big dreams
But if we sit back the big machine
Will just chip away, chip away at our future
Chip away, chip away
CHORUS
This is a declaration to our generation
Get back to the Constitution
Read the writings of Adams and Jefferson
See what it means to be an American
Can't believe everything you hear
Use what you've got between your ears
Follow your passion instead of your peers
Take a stand don't give into your fears
You may be small, you may be young
But this is your inheritance
How can you sit back and watch it all just
Slip away, slip away watch your freedom
Slip away, slip away
And as liberty marches on
Some just smile and say "so long"
No we can't sit back and let it all be
Stripped away, stripped away
Let it all be stripped away
Stripped away
HEY KIDS...

What's Your Constitution I.Q?
"A primary object.should be the education of our youth in the science of government. In a republic, what species of knowledge can be equally important? And what duty more pressing.than.communicating it to those who are to be the future guardians of the liberties of the country?"
-George Washington
