Текст песни Alien (Hold On to Your Dreams) - Gil Scott-Heron



Midnight near the border
Trying to cross the Rio Grande
Runnin' with coyotes
To where the streets are paved with gold
Diving underwater
When you hear the helicopter
Knowing it's all been less than worthless
If you see the border patrol
Hiding in the shadows
So scared that you want to scream
But you dare not make a sound
If you want to hold on to your dreams
Hold on, it may not be a lot
Hold on, 'cause you know it's all you got
No matter the consequences
Or the fear that grips your senses
You have got to hold on to your dreams
Down at Western Union
Sending cash back to your family
Drinking down cerveza
Where the lights are very low
Your mind may start to wander
When you think about your village
The woman that you love so much
Who's still in Mexico
At just two bucks an hour
There is little to redeem this life
Except that in your mind you're tryin'
To hold on to your dreams
Hold on, it may not be a lot
Hold on, 'cause you know it's all you got
No matter the consequences
Or the fear that grips your senses
You have got to hold on to your dreams
City of the Angels
With its bright light fascination
Only adds to the confusion
That your mind must now endure
The gringos take advantage
When they know that you're illegal
You avoid la policía
Like a plague that can't be cured
Paying la mordida
You find out just what pollo means
But you dare not file complaints
If you want to hold on to your dreams
Hold on, it may not be a lot
Hold on, 'cause you know it's all you got
No matter the consequences
Or the fear that grips your senses
You have got to hold on to your dreams
Hold on, it may not be a lot but I'm holding on
'Cause you know it's all you got
No matter the consequences
Or the fear that grips your senses
You have got to hold on to your dreams
Hold on, it may not be a lot but I'm holding on
'Cause you know it's all you got
No matter the consequences
Or the fear that grips your senses
You have got to hold on to your dreams, yeah
