SING IT to the tune of I Want to Hold Your Hand (The Beatles)

Oh yeah we’re, a melting pot
Just look at what we’ve got
Freedom, diversity
And opportunity!

Oh give me, your huddled masses
Yearning to breathe free
Clad in copper, in New York harbor

We are a nation
Based on immigration
Culture, customs, and traditions
Welcome in!
Welcome in!
Welcome in!

Yeah we’re, an aspiration
Against oppression
Asylum seekers, and refugees
Come here to live in peace

We are a nation

Yeah we’re, a young country
Still chasing our ideals
A beacon, for democracy
Peace, love, and harmony!
