The Dreamer

Just a child when she crossed the border To reunite with her father Who had traveled north to support her So many years before She left half her family behind With a crucifix to remind her She pledged her future to this land And does the best that she can do ¿A dónde van los sueños? Nacidos de la fe y la ilusión Donde no hay camino ni huella Sólo deseos que susurran al corazón Eagles fly on columns of the wind (Viviendo en el viento) Fish swim the currents of the sea (Que libre el mar) People cross oceans and deserts and rivers (Cruzamos el río) Carrying nothing more than the dream Of what life could be Today she got the order They're taking steps to deport her To send her back over the border And tear her away from the life she has made We don't see half the people around us But we see enemies who surround us And the walls that we build between us Keep us prisoners of our fear ¿A dónde van los sueños? Where do the dreams go? Nacidos de la fe y la ilusión Born of faith and illusion Donde no hay camino ni huella Where there's no road and no footprint (Sólo deseos) only desires (que susurran al corazón) that whisper to the heart (Sólo deseos) only desires (que susurran al corazón) that whisper to the heart Sólo deseos que susurran al corazón
