Dream to Belong

(written in support of the Dream Act)

She may be from out of town
He may be from way down south
But she was brought here as a child
And he grew up in this house

They learned while in school
Of a light many had seen
Guiding the tired & the poor
Yearning to be free

Beacon of light
Beacon of hope
Keep shining bright
Unite the dreams of us all

Everyone deserves to learn
Every child deserves to dream
When they only want to serve
When they want a chance to give

We dream to belong
DREAMERS HOLD ON, HOLD ON
For every child who did nothing wrong
DREAMERS HOLD ON, HOLD ON
To the dream

She met a boy & fell in love
And she dreamed she could belong
Until ICE raided her home
And could deport her before long

She had learned while in school
About a torch many had seen
Guiding the tired & the poor
Yearning to be free

Yo no dejo de buscar
Una luz, una señal
Danos la oportunidad
De hacer el sueño realidad

Together
We’ll make the dream come true (repeat)

A child who did nothing wrong
This is the place she calls home
Where he lives & where she hopes
That where you love is where you belong.
