Together as One

Taking from the rich Give to the poor Singing for the sinners Always want more Down in the dirt roads Back to the smoke I live for the day Love à la mode If I slow down now I might just crash Nobody wants that My life in your hands So many I know Fell to the streets I can’t sit back and watch It’s bigger than me Born in Van Nuys Made Cali my home So many friends lost It’s all that I’ve known I’ve been through the state Seen so many faces My life’s a collage Of people and places My neighbors displaced It gets worrisome Turn on the news They paint us as demons I learned to keep silent But I have a voice My life has been warfare Since I was a boy I’m just a soldier Fighting the battle Waiting for the day My life will unravel I’ve stated my travels I’ve served some time I can’t save your life But I can fix mine I want to give back But my hands are tied I can’t save your life So, I’ll give you mine One day, we’ll be saved It’s all about hope I dreamed as a boy No time to elope I dreamed of a world So simple and free But I cannot leave A burning city I dream from a distance There’s no time to rest Can’t pursuade the taxman He seems unimpressed They take all we have Left without nothing They can’t kill the dreams That I’m constructing My flame is still burning My soul is still working If my heart keeps hurting Then my world’s still turning I’ve stated my travels I’ve served some time I can’t save your life So, I’ll give you mine I want to give back Guess my hands are tied I can’t save your life So, I’ll give you mine #latino
