Tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic (F/C)
They work in fields and vineyards, harvest food for me and you
They watch our kids or old folks and work in fact'ries too
We hire them to do the stuff that we don't want to do
And then we send them back!
No one human is illegal
No one's parents are illegal
Being human must be legal
We once were strangers too!
They hope to make a living, have a chance like you and me,
Believing in the promise of the Land of Liberty,
They risked their very lives on the long journey to be free
And then we lock them up!
No one human is illegal
No one's children are illegal
Being human must be legal
Let's work to make this true! (2 x; instr. last line only)
