The Symbol |
| My name is Juan from Monterrey |
| I’ve been 10 years in the USA |
| Repaired New Orleans after the hurricane |
| I built a home and made a better way |
| Now there’s fear, angry words saying «Go!» |
| They say I’m a criminal, what do they know? |
| Rounded up my friends without papers to show |
| They wanna send us back, back to Mexico |
| They say I’m a criminal, that’s what they say |
| My children were born, born in the USA |
| They say these children, they too must go |
| But their home is here, not Mexico |
| From where I now stand on this alluvial ground |
| Where waves of immigrants laid their bundles down |
| And the symbol of freedom must stand the test of time |
| Built stronger than words that divide |
| They say I’m a criminal, that’s what they say |
| My children were born, born in the USA |
| They say these children, they too must go |
| But their home is here, not Mexico |
| They say I’m a criminal, that’s what they say |
| My children were born, born in the USA |
| They say these children, they too must go |
| But their home is here, not Mexico |
