“I Became an American” – Celebration Song

(Verse 1)
Today the sky feels wider,
the road ahead is clear.
I carry every memory
of how I got to here.
From all the dreams I followed,
to nights I stood alone,
I never lost the fire
that led me to this home.

(Pre-Chorus)
And every voice that lifted me
still echoes in my mind.
I stand here as a witness
to the ones who helped me rise.

(Chorus)
I became an American,
and my heart can finally breathe.
This journey made me stronger
than I ever thought I'd be.
Thank you to my family,
my friends who stayed beside—
because of you I made it,
you carried me through every fight.
I became an American…
and I shine with all your light.

(Verse 2)
To all my brothers in the band,
our music kept me moving.
Those years on stage, the laughter—
the songs we kept improving.
You shaped a piece of who I am,
you held my soul in sound.
And every chord we ever played
still lifts me from the ground.

(Pre-Chorus)
I stand here with a grateful heart,
with tears I will not hide—
your love became the compass
that brought me to this life.

(Chorus)
I became an American,
and my heart can finally breathe.
This journey made me stronger
than I ever thought I'd be.
Thank you to my family,
my friends who stayed beside—
because of you I made it,
you carried me through every fight.
I became an American…
and I shine with all your light.

(Bridge)
And to my wife, my angel,
your love was always home.
You held me through the hardest storms,
you never let me go.
For you I keep on growing,
for you I stand proud and tall—
you are my greatest victory,
my reason through it all.

(Final Chorus) (strong)
I became an American,
with your love inside my veins.
Every step, every trial—
you lifted me through the pain.
Thank you all for believing,
for showing me I belong.
I carry you forever
in every beat of this song.
I became an American…
but you all made me strong.

(Outro)
So here’s to every moment,
to every guiding hand—
I’m here today because of you.
Together… we still stand.
