It tells us that people all over the world are coming to the U.S. One reason that they come to America is freedom. This is demonstrated in the line "freedom's light burning warm." He sings about how people are coming here to make their dreams come true and want to share them. So much so that people come with close to nothing to have this opportunity. This is inferred from the line "We're traveling light today."  ]]> 2022-05-16 15:50:58 UTC https://padlet.com/572319/American/wish/2185973826 572319 https://padlet.com/572319/American/wish/2185995467 The American dream is the dream of a land of opportunity and freedom.

Mr. Kline's dream is to be free and give that freedom to his children. He has achieved his dream,and gave his two children the freedom that he got. He believes that the U.S. is still the land of opportunity. People at the lowest point in poverty are still doing better than most people outside the U.S. His parents impressed upon him that education and being a good person are the most lessons he learned, and gave me the same advice. ]]> 2022-05-19 12:55:54 UTC https://padlet.com/572319/American/wish/2191291573
