Immigration Song
This Is a project I made for american studies on immigration. I decided to make a music video, I hope you like it.
I do not own any of the video footage in this video.

Lyrics:
i woke up today, a mexican child
i grew up without anything, my whole life has been wild
feel a lack of something inside, be it nurture or nutrients
hop a train, feel the shame of the hatred and putridness
once the people and the spirit of the world that we longed for
reaches down to the ground of a place we belonged more.
we can find a new world, we'll look up to the sky
but the birthdays to follow, they won't celebrate time.
they celebrate life. and the chance to make it worth living
they celebrate chance, and the likelihood of getting and giving
they take the things that we've done, but not to make them count now.
make the influence choice, and influence the world
they celebrate chance, they celebrate life, they celebrate love, they celebrate loss
they celebrate taking all your thoughts and letting them fall to the cross.
take a little look at our lives, and the sadness inside.
not a single persons come here without some sort of demise,
and even though some people think we're not worthy of that
the only thing that we can do is try to make it a fact.
that we belong in this new world. we deserve this opportunity
we need this too survive, we want to experience unity.
become a part of your culture.
you teach me, I'll teach you.
and just pray this journey leaves us with some peace and some food.
I woke up today,
an american child.
