lyrics

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."

This country says it welcomes all
No matter if you're big or small
My skin may be brown, white, tan
Do you know who I am?

You do your job, and I do mine
If we all just live we will do fine
I know we have our pride
But we're the same inside

(chorus)
No somos (criminals)
No somos (illegal)
You know we're (just people)
No somos (criminals)

Freedom's soul has no race
I know we all share this place
But do you really have no heart
I know I'm smart, you're smart

Because it's just matter of time
You're ancesters were just like mine
Just looking for a better life
Something right

(chorus)

In our own world we are one
A big round rock heated by the sun
It's all we have, we can share
You and me are going nowhere

If we can't see beyond our face
Stop thinking we can win this race
We need a better path to choose
Or we all lose!

(chorus)

I've been playing music for 35 years and writing poetry for about the same amount of time. As a songwriter I've only recently felt I was good enough to publish. Hope you like it!
