 Irene's Treasure - Echoes of My Heart

* Becoming an American *

v*v*v* v*v*v* v*v*v* v*v*v* v*v*v*  

Every drop of love remaineth
Cause my heart to break in twain
As I ponder on my choices
I can't help but think again

v*v*v* v*v*v* v*v*v* v*v*v*

Once so far away in coming
Now a luminous light ahead
All my hopes now swiftly running
As my doubts are slowly shed

v*v*v* v*v*v* v*v*v* v*v*v*

Oh, but costly is my fortune
And the price to pay is grim
Turning back and heart to country
Fills my cup to sorrow's rim

v*v*v* v*v*v* v*v*v* v*v*v*

Respite from thinking, may I linger
As I stop to dream again
Of those blue enchanted waters
And those beaches in the rain

v*v*v* v*v*v* v*v*v* v*v*v*

It's my turn to leave behind me
All I held and still hold dear
Gone forever is my birthright
For a dream I humbly swear

v*v*v* v*v*v* v*v*v* v*v*v*

Tell my heart not of its loses
Or of roots so deeply grown
But of chances new in coming
World of wonder proudly shown
  
v*v*v* v*v*v* v*v*v* v*v*v*

I can hear the sands a-calling
As my soul within me churn
Still this yearning, Oh, believe me
From my homeland I can't turn

    Note:
Thankful for the wonderful
oppurtunities we have received
in this country, we pledge
our alligiance to its flag.
    God bless America!
