Only Home (DACA)

about

"Only Home"is a song I recently wrote about #DACA the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program after speaking with friends and watching interviews. President Trump rescinded the Obama-era program last September. Please see how you can lend your voice, presence, finances to help protect the rights of over 800,000 children here in the US and their loving families.

lyrics

I don't know how to get ready to be ready for this
this is my only home
taken away and taken back to a country I have never known

she said,
I imagine Mexico as someone would who had never been there
because I have never been there

my mother and father died a thousand times
just to give me a better life
they're my inspiration, taught me love this nation
now we’re all being criminalized

I don't know how to get ready to be ready for this
this is my only home
taken away and taken back to a country I have never known

on this stolen land of immigrants
who work hard, pay in full but get no benefits
yes on the stolen land of immigrants
who work hard pay in full but get no benefits

he said,
it's hard to focus now when you're a dreamer
your life is used as a scape goat, a political punching bag
I got to watch my every move got to watch my back

I don't know how to get ready to be ready for this
this is my only home
taken away and taken back to a country I have never known

living in between the shadows of two worlds

If you took the time to look into my eyes
see your reflection in my soul
If you took the time to look in to my eyes
you might realize we are each others only home
