lyrics

Maria take my hand as we cross this desert land and may god be with
us to the promised land
Knowing not what will come beneath the warm Sonoran sun, maybe
peace maybe death maybe both
Maria don’t look home, the only place we’ve ever known, close your eyes
and see that we are not alone
I don’t know which is worse repeating the same sad verse, or
abandoning the old familiar song
God show us the place where we belong

You drew a line on paper neighbor, but the boundaries they mean
nothing to the soul

Smell of blood in the sand from the cartel’s reprimands, oh the
ground it aches and moans it aches and moans
Southern wind tells a tale with a liquor-scented gale that says you are
not welcome turn around and run
Get off my property or I’ll get my gun

You drew a line on paper neighbor, but you can’t control the
migration of a soul

Maria take my hand as we cross the Rio Grande, the north expanse is
what my fathers called homeland
Fleeing south from the war, now fleeing north from the outlaws, the
line has shifted several times within the sand
I would love for them to see their callous hypocrisy, squatters sitting
on my old man’s property
You don’t own what you steal, let alone your neighbor’s yield. We are
brothers we are brothers we are

I am you, you are me, we’re one fucked up family
All God’s children running violently amuck
I think it’s time for all God’s children to grow up
