Walking To America

I took your hand And led you far away Off to somewhere special Somewhere that we can stay It's a place they call America They will welcome us there The land they call America Where all the people care Walk fast my child we're almost there They'll feed us and take us in They'll treat us just like family No matter where we've been Yes this place they call America I hope it's all they say I hope they offer us a better life I hope they let us stay It's been my dream For all of my days To go live in America Prosper in her ways But America might not want us anymore Seems things have changed overnight If America doesn't want us my child Tomorrow we continue our plight PALLANES
