Lyrics

Speak English

My friend - I hope you understand
You are here - In the greatest of all lands
Deep inside - I know you know it's true
This new home - Is a gift preserved for you

Don't care where you came from - Or what you look like
We only ask in return - you learn to read and write....and

Speak English, It's time you learned how
Speak English, You're in America now

Our Fathers - Crossed these boarders too
At a time - When entitlements were few
They were grateful - For the opportunity
To live and work - And worship as they pleased

They got no special treatment - Didn't want it anyway
Still care 'bout where they came from - But they love the USA.....and

Speak English, Can't understand what we hear
Speak English, Our words are sincere
Speak English, It's time you learned how
Speak English, You're in America now

Here in America - We preach equality
We know that we're not perfect - And we don't pretend to be
Walking hand in hand - is what we all forsee
Cause there is no place that's better
One future binds us together
Please learn this language too......
