about

Is it legal to cross the U.S. border to seek asylum?
Families escaping violence and persecution in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and other countries in crisis have undertaken a dangerous journey to seek safety in the United States.
People arriving at the U.S. border have the right to request asylum without being criminalized, turned back or separated from their children—even during a pandemic.

lyrics

Lyrics:

SO YOU THINK YOU KNOW TROUBLES
TRY WALKING A FEW THOUSAND MILES
IN MY SHOES

WHEN EVERY NIGHT BLEEDS OUT THE DAY
YOU ONLY HAVE YOUR LIFE TO LOSE

HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED PACKING YOUR LIFE
INTO A SINGLE DIRTY SACK

WELL SAY ONE LAST GOODBYE TO EVERYTHING
CAUSE YOU’RE NEVER GOING BACK

CROSS THE JUNGLE, THE DESERT, AND BY SEA
IT'S WORTH THE TROUBLE TO ME I'LL FLEE, I'LL FLEE
CROSS THE JUNGLE, THE DESERT, AND BY SEA
IT'S WORTH THE HEARTACHE TO ME I'M FREE I'M FREE

SO YOU THINK YOU KNOW TROUBLES
TRY WALKING A FEW THOUSAND MILES WITHOUT YOU
MAN WOMAN CHILD ECONOMIC FEAST (IT'S THE BEAST)
WHO HAVE I BEEN PRAYING TO

THE WATER YOU DRINK JUST MAY CARRY A DISEASE
YOUR CHILDREN CRYING, I'M HUNGRY MOMMY PLEASE
BEHIND THE PROMISE, HOMICIDAL GREED
THE WEATHER ITSEL, JUST ANY ENEMY
WILL SOMEONE, ANYONE TAKE PITY ON ME

CROSS THE JUNGLE, THE DESERT, AND BY SEA
IT'S WORTH THE TROUBLE TO ME I'LL FLEE, I'LL FLEE
CROSS THE JUNGLE, THE DESERT, AND BY SEA
IT'S WORTH THE HEARTACHE TO ME I'M FREE I'M FREE
