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
