We can see the tears
Recognize the fears
A life in turmoil
Leads them to new soil
Families split
Pain and fear legit
No money constant violence
They make their trek in silence
Immigrant or refugee
Seeking a better life or forced to flee
A hard way to have to live
Real people with something to give
We don't like to work in the fields
Farmers rely on their hands to gather yields
If we block them out crops will rot
And prices will rise for produce bought
Refugees come out of desperation
Seeking a kind and safe nation
They don't come seeking charity
But are hoping to regain their dignity
Immigrant or refugee
Seeking a better life or forced to flee
A hard way to have to live
Real people with something to give
Its a shame the way we abuse them
Malign and hate or sometimes use them
No warm welcome or offer to assist
We put them in cages its no way to exist
What does this say about you and me
The land of hope and liberty
Only to find that is not real
They're treated like animals their hope we steal
Immigrant or refugee
Seeking a better life or forced to flee
A hard way to have to live
Real people with something to give
There's no invasion or dire threat at our border
Lies told to cause fear division and disorder
It is no great mystery
We are not living up to our identity
Ask yourself what if it was you
Orced to flee not knowing what to do
So you head to a land you thought was kind
To discover they're heartless callous and blind
Fellow Americans we're better than this
Or are we heartless and don't give a piss
