Didn't think I could feel more shame
Than I already did
Towards the so-called leaders
In this Country where I live
Please know they do not speak for me
I have my own voice
And I would take the "Huddled Masses"
If they just gave me the choice
~~~*Chorus*~~~
Look at your babies
Think of your families
What would you do to save them
Wouldn't you give anything
Look at your babies
Remember every face
Of the people you would die for
What if there was no escape
You call me ignorant and crazy...
Look at your babies
~~*~~
My ancestors were immigrants
And so were most of yours
Some of them weren't welcomed
When their boats came to these shores
And some of them did go through hell
Pain we have never known
We're here, so they weren't turned away
Now we call this Country home
~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
America
Land of the Free
Let me tell you what that means to me
Every day should not bring fear
Desperation, no escape
Let the fearful join us here
Change their certain fate
I'm ashamed of the hateful hearts
Ignoring anguished pleas
Look at your babies
~~*~~
~~~*Chorus*~~~
Look at your babies
Think of your families
What would you do to save them
Wouldn't you give anything
Look at your babies
Remember every face
Of the people you would die for
What if there was no escape
You call me ignorant and crazy...
They too have babies
~~*~~
~~~*Finale*~~~
Maybe it's my Faith in God
That would open up the seas
Because He gave me everything
And expects the same from me
Fear and hate
No escape
~~*~~
