[Lyric] The Kids Are Still In Cages (Nancy Sanchez)

[Verse 1]
I was told to go back where I came from
Back where I belong, but I don't know where I belong
I was brought here in my mother’s arms
Just a little girl searching for the stars
Circumstances forced my parents to leave
We crossed the line, in 1989
It's never easy to leave your life behind
A whole new culture, a brand new way of life
Without knowing the language, without even a dime
The only frame of mind is to keep that dream alive

It's not easy to survive
It’s not easy to survive

[Verse 2]
Lets not forget about the ones who weren't so lucky
They traveled far in search of their American dream
Only to find a world so cruel and empty
While the city burns and world rages the kids are still in cages
The kids are still in cages
The kids are still in cages

[Verse 3]
As time goes by and you assimilate and you integrate
It's easy to forget that you were once in their shoes
With every car you buy and the “I got mine so fuck you” mentality
You loose your humanity

How can you live with yourself?
How can you live with yourself?

[Verse 4]
Lets not forget about the ones who weren't so lucky
They traveled far in search of their American dream
Only to find a world so cruel and empty
While the city burns and world rages the kids are still in cages

The kids are still in cages
The kids are still in cages
The kids are still in cages
The kids are still in cages

[Bridge]
What about them?
What about them?
The kids in cages are waiting for a friend
What about them?
What about them?
The kids in cages are waiting to be saved
What about them?
What about them?
