I never have a free weekend to party or have fun

I work in the fields and don't stop until the day is done

From six in the morning till seven at night

I don't stop working until there is no one in sight

I am not alone, I work with my family

You have to work hard because this is reality

Working together we barely get to pay all the bills

Working in the fields doesn't need a specific skill

But I didn't want this life I want to go farther then high School

Because Education is the most important tool

I want to keep on studying and have a better life

So that way in the future I won't struggle to support my kids and my wife

I am an immigrant

And one day I wish to be a citizen

To enjoy things like everyone else

And be able to be myself

There are students like me all over the nation

We can be smart, athletic or talented but we will never have a collage graduation

It's been 12 years and the Dream Act has not been passed

And for years thousands of students have asked

"Let the act pass and please let us learn"

This is a choice that gives everyone a good turn

America will grow bigger and improve

And our education rank will surely move

I will never give up and fight everyday

I am a DREAMer and my dreams won't fade away
