Dreamers |
My name, it is Maria |
My daughter is a dreamer |
She says that she is worried |
That she will have to leave |
When I was only twenty |
I crossed the burning border |
I came to find a good life |
And brought my daughter here |
When I came to America |
I hoped life would be better |
For me and for my daughter |
And here I worked for you |
I harvested the peaches |
In Northern California |
And then in Colorado |
My family and me |
This land was made by dreamers |
And children of those dreamers |
We came here for democracy and hope |
Now all we have is hope |
My husband is a good man |
He is no raping criminal |
His hands are rough and scarred now |
From digging in the earth |
My daughter loves her father |
And he was always gentle |
He too came from Jalisco |
To find what freedom’s worth |
But will you send her back now |
To live in fear and terror |
She is our only daughter |
Whose dreams have been our vow |
We worked to pay our way here |
We gave our youth and promise |
And in return you force us |
To go back to the wall |
This land was made by dreamers |
And children of those dreamers |
We came here for democracy and hope |
Now all we have is hope |
My name, it is Maria |
My daughter is a dreamer |
She says that she is worried |
That she will have to leave |
