You left many years ago,
In search of the American dream.
I stayed waiting for you,
Dreaming only to see you again.

The years have flown like butterflies in search of warmer weather,
And so has my youth,
Leaving me in a cold winter.

God made the land, and man made borders.
God gave commandments, and man made orders.

You're a prisoner of the country
That once promised freedom,
And I've been sentenced to freedom,
Freedom, without you.

Our flags both bleed red,
With as much passion as my heart beats for you,
Even to this day...
And they both shine white,
The purity of our love.

Yours is red white and blue,
And blue is how I feel without you.
Mine stamped with an eagle
With open wings,
soaring one day to you.

I will wait for you in the desert where the dreamers now lie,
with faith and Esperanzas
Of one day being in your arms again.

You left many years ago,
In search of the American dream.
I'm still waiting for you,
Dreaming only, to see you again.
