Lyrics The Dreamer - Jackson Browne , Los Cenzontles

As the child, when she crossed the border
To reunite with her father
Who had traveled north to support her
So many years before
She left half her family behind her
And with a crucifix to remind her
She pledged her future to this land
And does the best that she can do
Where do the dreams go?
Born of faith and illusion
Where there is no road or footprints
Only desires that whisper to your heart
Eagles fly on columns of the wind
Fish swim the currents of the sea
People cross oceans and deserts, and rivers
Carrying nothing more than the dream of what life could be
Today she got the order
They're taking steps to deport her
To send her back over the border
And tear her away from the life she has made
We don't see half the people around us
Well we imagine enemies that surround us
And the walls that we've built between us
Keep us prisoners of our fears
Where do the dreams go
Born of faith and illusion
Where there is no road or footprints
Only desires that whisper to your heart
Only desires that whisper to your heart
