What if you could fly,

soar in the sky with the birds 

flying by?

What if you have to leave your family 

behind to maybe never 

see again?

What if you have to walk 

thousands of miles in the desert

under the hot, dying sun to escape those 

who are in persute behind you?

What if your here, in the country of stars and stripes,

working your life off, to feed

and provide for your family in another country?

What if...what if...what if...

What if you don't live to see 

what the future departs for you,

or your family?
