Dejanos immigrantes en paz (leave us immigrants in peace)
Location
Beads of sweat
Running down
My forehead
I cant think straight
Im face to face
To my biggest fear
The one fear
I pray to god
I wouldnt come up against
The border patrol
His face with no emotion
His eyes seem to go right through me
As if he knew
"Step out of the car",as i slowly get out
I tremble with fear
Should i run? should i hide ?
No quiero irme patras a mexico
I dont want to go back to mexico
People passing by are staring at me
Where am i going to?
Sabe que soy immigrante ?
Does he know im an immigrant ?
He ask for my C.A id and drivers license
I tell him i left it at home
My breathing is getting heavy
Next thing i know im in the white car
With the green border patrol logo
Dejanos immigrantes in paz
Thoughts rushing through my head
Once again i cant think straight
I have handcuffs on my hands
As im walking inside the gates of the border patrol station
I see others just like me
Tears on their face
Resisting to get out of the car
And pleading to not send them back to Mexico
I want to yell out loud and say
"Dejanos immigrantes en paz !"
But i don't
I just wait for my life to turn upside down
