I’m An Immigrant, Have Mercy On Me
I don't want to take your jobs, or have your money-
I don't want your welfare, property, or clothes.
I don't want to take advantage of your health care or social security-
You don't even have to treat me kindly, with respect, or dignity.
I want a chance at a better life-
A chance for opportunity, health, prosperity-
A chance for happiness.
I want to not have you kick me and my family out-
For we just want to be as well off as you.
I want you to give me a chance.
I want you to not hurt me,
Deport me,
Take my family away,
Or hate me.
For I am an immigrant,
Have Mercy On Me.
