My name is Juan from Monterrey
I've been ten years in the USA
Repaired New Orleans after the hurricane
I built a home and made a better way
Now there's fear, angry words saying "Go!"
They say I'm a criminal; what do they know?
Rounded up my friends without papers to show
They wanna send us back, back to Mexico
They say I'm a criminal, that's what they say
My children were born, born in the USA
They say these children, they too must go
But their home is here not Mexico
From where I now stand on this alluvial ground
Where waves of immigrants laid their bundles down
And the symbol of freedom must stand the test of time
Built stronger than words that divide
They say I'm a criminal, that's what they say
My children were born, born in the USA
They say these children, they too must go
But their home is here not Mexico
They say I'm a criminal, that's what they say
My children were born, born in the USA
They say these children, they too must go
But their home is here not Mexico
The lyrics THE SYMBOL of SON VOLT is also present in the album Union (2019)
Son Volt è un gruppo musicale statunitense di genere alternative country, formatosi nel 1994 a Chicago da Jay Farrar, ex membro degli Uncle Tupelo. Dopo lo scioglimento di quest'ultimo, Farrar ha riunito alcuni musicisti per dare vita a Son Volt, che hanno subito riscosso successo con il loro album d'esordio "Trace" (1995). Il sound del gruppo è caratterizzato da un mix di country rock, folk e psichedelia, influenzato da artisti come Neil Young, The Byrds e Gram Parsons. Tra i brani più rappresentativi di Son Volt figurano "Drown", "Windfall" e "The World Won't End". Nel corso degli anni, il gruppo ha pubblicato diversi album di successo, tra cui "Straightaways" (1996), "Scenes from the Suburbs" (2000) e "American Central Dust" (2005). Jay Farrar rimane l'unico membro originale del gruppo, che ha attraversato diverse formazioni nel corso della sua storia.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
