You say you have a big heart

If so, don’t deport our parents

They were young dreamers

Searching for better lifetime

Like the pilgrims once did

They spent youthful years

Toiling and raising family

Now that their hair turn gray

And their children in schools

Please let them stay right here

In the land that has nurtured us

One that we have grown to love

Build wall for illegal ones now

Never banish the old settlers

Do not separate us from our

Parents, siblings in sombrero

We need home to return after

School like any other children
