Analysis of Follow Me



Follow me, take my hand, and let’s travel this journey
of trials hand in hand. Walk with me step by step in faith,
pursue your dreams, do whatever it takes. Let’s lift up
our hands and pray every day. What a joy it is to make
America a beautiful place.

Together we make choices, together we can stand,
together we will prevail throughout the land. Don’t
give up, keep pressing on. We have lots of work to
do, together we move on.

It doesn’t matter your religion, your color or race.
Continue to live the American Dream today.
Live everyday to the fullest, learn all you can.
Through tough economic times, and choices made,
together we will stand and make America a beautiful
place.

Let’s take this journey of a life time together,
soar like an eagle in the sky. Count your blessings,
history is made every day and night. Don’t give up
now, we have a long ways to go, just remember
you are not alone.

Let’s continue this journey, be patient, be kind,
pursue your dreams, world peace will come
within time.

God can make anything happen, no matter the trial,
He will let you know when the time is right.
But just remember, it depends on the road we take.
