America

Yeah, I sent you away

Because you were

Competition

I sent you away

And stripped every

Last thing I could

Away from you

While you were here

I was but a child

Begging for the attention

Of my elders.

Yeah, I sent you away

Even though it was you

Who helped me

Free myself from my family,

Helped me see I could be

More on my own.

Yeah, I sent you away

Even though you were my first

And best friend.

A/N: The last stanza was a reference to the large amount of Prussian Revolutionary war heroes. We have statues around my home town honoring several Prussians who helped with the American Revolutionary War.
