Lyrics
Just because my skin is darker,
Don't mean my heart ain't as pure.
You don't know how long I've worked harder,
In the heat, and the rain, and the dirt.
And in time, when I can find work,
No one works harder, no one takes more pride than me.
When I face the mountains, my back to the desert,
One journey's ending -- another one begins.
So, walk with me.
Just because I crossed the border,
Don't mean I'm ever going back.
I want more than just your dimes and quarters --
Gonna make me some real American cash.
And in time, I'll own my own home,
I'll drive a big car, I'll raise my family.
I crossed the desert, to climb the mountains,
And now the valley stretches out before my feet.
Just because I don't speak your English,
Don't mean I'm slow or I'm dumb.
And just because my life was hellish,
Don't judge what my future's to become.
'Cause in time, our kids will wear the same clothes,
Go to the same schools, watch the same TV shows;
We'll walk through the valley, when the trees are blooming --
They lean over the river, glistening under a broken sky.
Don't mean my heart ain't as pure.
You don't know how long I've worked harder,
In the heat, and the rain, and the dirt.
And in time, when I can find work,
No one works harder, no one takes more pride than me.
When I face the mountains, my back to the desert,
One journey's ending -- another one begins.
So, walk with me.
Just because I crossed the border,
Don't mean I'm ever going back.
I want more than just your dimes and quarters --
Gonna make me some real American cash.
And in time, I'll own my own home,
I'll drive a big car, I'll raise my family.
I crossed the desert, to climb the mountains,
And now the valley stretches out before my feet.
Just because I don't speak your English,
Don't mean I'm slow or I'm dumb.
And just because my life was hellish,
Don't judge what my future's to become.
'Cause in time, our kids will wear the same clothes,
Go to the same schools, watch the same TV shows;
We'll walk through the valley, when the trees are blooming --
They lean over the river, glistening under a broken sky.
