We opened the door to freedom

We let them enter as they may

We denied not one single soul

Of freedom for it is they

Who came here to this country

Wanting to be free

And to build a better nation

Searching for equality

We never closed the door

To those who came to find

Freedom for their families

We were never that unkind

America was founded

Tired

I’m a man whose tired and worn

Empty and dead on my feet,

Petered out, played out, pooped and torn

Burnout broke down and beat.

Drowsy, droopy, drooping drained

Sick of, sleepy, spent and stale

Haggard, run down, all in

Consumed, collapsing, asleep,...

As I slowly lose my wit.

I fix a pot of coffee

Then I drink a cup or two.

I sit and watch the birds some more

As I finish off my brew.

You sat and looked at me as if,

I had lost my mind.

You told me I was crazy,

That I was unrefined.

The kind of life I offered

I think there's just a few lines

That I may have overstepped.

You said I had a screw loose

That I was fruity as a bat.

You called me crazy as a loon

Delirious and erratic...
