What does "Everything American" mean to you?
For me, it's been a life-long pursuit of watching my immigrant parents make a better life for our family...and me doing the same as I became an adult.
Many years later, I am still pursing my dreams in many areas of my life. But the one dream I've always held tight to my chest, is to write a great song that touches not only my heart, but the hearts of millions.
Sometimes, I wish I could forget about this dream of hearing my music being played on the radio or sung by a famous artist.
But I can't.
Not when I've written a song that meant so much to my dad and embodies what I believe makes America so great - the American Dream.
Hi my name is Carlos Tabora and I am one of the songwriters for Everything American which is a song about celebrating, remembering and keeping the American dream alive.
I have created a simple lyric video for the song which can be watched below. However, I don't think the video does the song justice. I'd like to have a better and more appealing video made that really touches and reaches people. If you like the song and want to help this song reach more people, please donate to this fund.
I could go on and on about the importance of upholding the American dream and the values that make this country great, but I'll let the song speak for itself.
Following are the song lyrics:
Everything American
Words and Music by Carlos Tabora, Gina Paoni and Tom Fritz

I was born to a steel mill man
who built a life using his two hands
Each sunrise we'd raise the flag
An honor he taught me to understand
And when bands marched by on the Fourth of July
We'd salute that flag as it waved up high
Hands full of candy, heart full of pride
The feeling to be free
The hard-earned sweat I saw
on the face of my old man
was Everything American
Everything American
I am strong, I belong to this great land
Everything American
Cause it's more than a flag for which I stand
I can live my life, chase my dreams
Be whoever, I want to be
Do anything, I believe I can
And be Everything American
Now I'm grown and on my own
Found the girl of my dreams and a place to call home
Two-tours later, a coach and a dad
I put in my time, gave it all that I had
We lend our neighbors a helping hand
No need to live in fear
We're free to speak what we believe
A freedom we hold dear
We cast our vote with passion
We work and live our plan
We're Everything American
Everything American
We are strong, we belong to this great land
Everything American
Cause it's more than a flag for which we stand
We'll live our lives and chase our dreams
Show the whole world what freedom means
We'll serve it proud and fight for Uncle Sam
For Everything American
(Instrument solo)
Everything American
(Instrument solo)
Oh I'd give my life to keep it free
Show the whole world what America means
And I'll stand proud because I give a damn
For Everything American
For Everything American
You can currently stream the song on all music streaming platforms including:

For the new lyric video, I'd like to show more symbolic images of American history, pride and encourage people to submit their own images/videos showing their American pride, story and support of keeping the American dream alive.
I'd like to think that I'm just another Everyday American trying to make our country better by remembering what makes it great.
If you're another Everyday American too that believes in this song and keeping the American dream alive, please donate today.
