Farmers, till the Fields.
Millers, forge the steel.
Miners, mine the coal,
and workers, manufacture the automobiles.
... but it doesn't stop there.
Regular person, open small businesses,
and small businesses, thrive.
You're guaranteed to reap what you sow,
if you work hard and strive.
To the children in the worse neighborhoods;
work hard and take your licks,
and you can go from brick buildings,
to a two-story house made of bricks.
If you want; get yourself an education.
If you want; learn a trade.
Then go on to do something great.
That is how you live the American Dream.
That is how you are American made.
