IMMIGRANT VOICES
Pedro, Brenda, Alejandro
Voces Inmigrantes
Vertas, Yolanda and Richard
Brave radio show guests
Risking all to follow liberty’s call
Tremendous risks taken
For the sake of familia
Far away and years unseen
Get here, work here
Bring them all here
Seeking asylum
In the land of opportunity
My great grandfather did
I bet your grands did too
We did not then nor should we now
Build barriers, gates or walls
Native, immigrant or freed slave
Were here, came here, or forced here
Our wants for family are the same
America is great, let’s be better
