Home of the Brave

Description

Home of the Brave (Immigrants and Pilgrims and Refugees)

Words and Music by JD Martin, David Roth, Karen Drucker

For the past four years Guadalupe checked in

To the Phoenix office of immigration

Both of her kids, US born

But everything changed the day that they took her away

In the home the brave and the land of the free

We are immigrants and pilgrims and refugees

From every nation, one family When you come for Guadalupe…..You come for me

For the past two years Kamal made his rounds

Interfaith Medical Center, New York City

He went to Sudan to visit his mom

But everything changed, he couldn’t come back, he was stranded

In the home the brave and the land of the free

We are immigrants and pilgrims and refugees

From every nation, one family

When you come for Kamal…..You come for me

Give me your tired, your poor, huddled masses

This is America, built by dreamers…..Yearning to breathe free

If I had to leave my country, what would I do

If the way I dressed was a trigger for you

If I’m not welcome here where would I go

Could I sail away on an unknown ocean of hope

In the home the brave and the land of the free

We are immigrants and pilgrims and refugees From every nation, one family

When you come for Guadalupe When you come for Kamal

When you come for my neighbor You come for me
