Run, hurry, don't stop We can't let our hope drop There's a future waiting up ahead Can't turn out dead Danger lurking around Stay close to the ground Don't separate from one another Just a bit farther The home left behind But got to keep it out of mind Thirst and hunger, there's less energy No, move on, even if empty The desert seems endless Trapped in a tremendous mess Seems to have no end Death has become a close friend Got one injured when fell Another ill, not feeling well The number decreases Left downhearted and in pieces Heat is killing Blood is spilling We have risked it all We cannot fall

Run
Run, hurry, don't stop We can't let our hope drop There's a future waiting up ahead Can't turn out dead Danger lurking around Stay close to the ground Don't separate from one another Just a bit farther The home left behind But got to keep it out of mind Thirst and hunger, there's less energy No, move on, even if empty The desert seems endless Trapped in a tremendous mess Seems to have no end Death has become a close friend Got one injured when fell Another ill, not feeling well The number decreases Left downhearted and in pieces Heat is killing Blood is spilling We have risked it all We cannot fall
Could this be what goes through immigrants' minds as they cross the border?
