I Reach Out My Hands

I reach out my hands To other land Where there Peace and hope Even if the USA Says nope! I reach out my feet To other land Follow my foot prints In the American sand. Come my child keep up As we flee from the boarder With nothing but our blankets And a mental cup. I reach out my heart In hopes of a new life to start I may not speak English And I may not under stand But I will risk my life While I bring my child and wife. Yes the USA build a wall In which again I must crawl But when your desperate No wall is to tall. I reach out for food Ii don't know what too do God show me a plan Today as I cross this Blessed American land. Please don't send us back My truck or bus And please give back My child after unlawful Separating us. Running from our life in Mexico For us this is nothing new. But in America I see it is for You!!!
