(Inspired by events that took place during the Fellowship in June/July 2018)
I’m feeling Presidential, I’m feeling like a King
I’m looking at the Border, a wall is just the thing!
The power to divide them, to fill the world with fear
I’ll be a man for all the ages….
It’s time to put their babies in cages
I’ll put their babies in cages….
I’ll put their babies in cages…
I’m standing at the Border, I’m standing in a line
I walked a thousand miles, my children at my side
We made it through the desert, now the officer
Is showing me some pages…
Saying he’ll put my babies in cages
He’ll put my babies in cages…
He’ll put my babies in cages….
I come from California but my relatives they came
A century ago, when they had another name
I’m looking at the Border, I know it’s crossed a line
When I’m feeling so much rage
Because we put their babies in cages…
We put their babies in cages….
We put their babies in cages…
I just don’t know where our shame is….
