If you were born here, it's automatic
You got your membership right outta the gate
But if that ain't you, yeah, it's not too late
If you were born somewhere else and wanna make a life here
Gotta spend a few years and pass the test
Take an oath saying you love this country the best
Oh, I can see a day when we will celebrate
We'll celebrate, we'll celebrate as we say
I am, I am an American citizen
This ain't just the place I'm living in
I got rights like electing the president
I am, I am an American citizen
Our foundation's a nation of immigrants
I am an American citizen
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh
We the, the people, come from all over the world
We believe that there's nowhere better
We are strong when we stand together
And right now in a small-town courthouse, history is being made
There's freedom welling up in someone's eyes
'Cause their dream is being realized
Today could be the day that we, we celebrate
We celebrate, we celebrate as we say
I am, I am an American citizen
This ain't just the place I'm living in
I got rights like electing the president
I am, I am an American citizen
Our foundation's a nation of immigrants
I am an American citizen
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I am)
Oh-oh (and American citizen)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I am)
Oh-oh
When you're a citizen, you get the right to vote
When you can speak your mind, whatever floats your boat
You can petition for close family members
To come and live here and be together
You can run for office and lead your crew
But you got some responsibilities, too
If in this country, there's ever a need
Serve on a jury from overseas
Support and defend the constitution
Taxes you pay are a contribution
For the freedom and liberty
My country, 'tis of thee
I am, I am an American citizen
This ain't just the place I'm living in
I got rights like electing the president
I am, I am an American citizen
Our foundation's a nation of immigrants
I am an American citizen
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I am)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I am)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I am)
Oh-oh (and American citizen) (I am)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I am)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (I am)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh

歌詞解析
一句話主旨
探討成為美國公民的法律程序、權利義務，並強調美國作為移民國家的包容與多元精神。
主題
公民身分、移民文化、民主權利與社會責任。
情緒
莊重、積極、充滿希望且具教育意義。
意象與手法
歌曲採用敘事性的口吻，將複雜的法律與政治概念轉化為淺顯易懂的歌詞，並以「法院」作為實踐夢想與歷史轉折的場景，象徵身分轉換的莊嚴時刻。
重點句解讀
一、「Our foundation's a nation of immigrants」：強調美國的立國基礎源於移民，點出國家認同的核心在於對多元背景的接納，而非單一的血緣。
二、「This ain't just the place I'm living in」：將公民身分提升至情感與歸屬的層次，說明公民權不僅是居住地，更是一種對國家政治參與的深刻連結。
三、「But you got some responsibilities, too」：在論述投票與參選等權利之餘，歌詞平衡地帶出擔任陪審員、守護憲法與納稅等義務，呈現公民權利與義務的對等性。
四、「There's freedom welling up in someone's eyes」：捕捉移民在取得公民權那刻的感動，將抽象的自由概念轉化為具體的眼神，展現夢想實現的喜悅。
適合情境
適合用於公民教育、探討移民政策的討論，或作為慶祝文化多元性的活動背景音樂。

聽蔡健雅詮釋這首歌，總覺得多了一份溫暖與誠懇。這首作品雖然是在講述歸屬感與公民權利，但她用那種從容且帶點敘事感的嗓音，把原本偏向法規或權利義務的條文，唱得像是一場關於夢想與選擇的告白。歌詞裡提到從不同地方匯聚到此地，為了追求生活而努力，那種在法院裡看見夢想成真的時刻，被她演繹得格外動人。
我特別喜歡歌裡談到自由不僅是權利，更伴隨著責任的那段，像是提醒我們，無論身處何地，真正的歸屬感來自於我們對這片土地的投入與承諾。這首歌很適合在忙碌了一整天，想要沈澱心情、重新思考生活目標的時候聽。它沒有過多華麗的修飾，卻精準地捕捉了移民社會中那股奮鬥過後的踏實感，聽完會讓人覺得，只要願意付出與實踐，所謂的家與認同，其實就在我們手中，是一首聽完心頭會暖暖的勵志小品。
歌曲冷知識
・歌詞以淺顯直白的語句，將公民權利與義務如「投票」、「繳稅」、「擔任陪審員」等法律概念轉化為琅琅上口的旋律。
・透過對比「出生即擁有」與「後天申請加入」的身分取得方式，傳達出美國作為移民國家，強調多元背景融合的核心精神。
・歌曲中段將視角拉至小鎮法院的入籍宣誓現場，精準捕捉了夢想實現瞬間的感動與歷史感。
・整首歌結構宛如一場公民教育課，非常適合作為認識國家體制與公民責任的入門音樂。
