My name is Juan from Monterrey I've been ten years in the USA Repaired New Orleans after the hurricane I built a home and made a better way Now there's fear, angry words saying, "Go!" They say I'm a criminal, what do they know? Rounded up my friends without papers to show They wanna send us back, back to Mexico They say I'm a criminal, that's what they say My children were born, born in the USA They say these children, they too must go But their home is here, not Mexico From where I now stand on this alluvial ground Where waves of immigrants laid their bundles down And the symbol of freedom must stand the test of time Built stronger than words that divide They say I'm a criminal, that's what they say My children were born, born in the USA They say these children, they too must go But their home is here, not Mexico They say I'm a criminal, that's what they say My children were born, born in the USA They say these children, they too must go But their home is here, not Mexico
