Trapped in America
By Eva Porter and Joe Corbett
We’re all here, trapped in America
Friends together from back home
Life’s not the same here in America
Opportunity knocks but we’re alone
We’re watching our backs here in America
No Green Card to go explore
Safe in our culture bubble in America
Looking around every door
And if I had a little space
To just run free for a while
I’d close my eyes and I’d see your face And we could share a little time
But we’re all here, trapped in America
Although we made the choice to come
We’re loving life here in America
But it’s so long since we’ve seen home
And if I had a little space
To just run free for a while
I’d close my eyes and I’d see your face And we could share a little time
But life goes on here in America
Life goes on back at home
We want to stay here in America
Trapped behind an open door
Life is sweet here in America
So bittersweet here in America
