From the recording Fountain of Love
Lyrics
Immigrant’s Dream
Standing at the border
theses hills are brown and burnt
three days with no water
on our tongues the taste of dirt
crossing the freezing desert
at night, we slipped two by two
to ourselves, mostly we kept
and did what we were told to do
In an immigrant’s dream
you can’t go home again
you can’t wake up
and you can’t sleep
nothing is what it seems
in an immigrant’s dream
In an immigrant’s dream you see
we are where we belong
gathered with our family
Lord, someplace safe and warm
In an immigrant’s dream
you can’t go home again
you can’t wake up
and you can’t sleep
and nothing is what seems
in an immigrant’s dream
