Where I Come From
Location
I come from a little town in the western part of Mexico
A pueblo called Santa Anita in Guadalajara, Jalisco
From dreamers both my parents and I
Who came to seek a better future until we die
15 years later working as hard as when we got here
working twice as hard to live the American dream
one day we'll learn what it is meant to be free
because everything is not what it seems
Because of where I come from
we're all dreaming of the land of the free
Ever since I was young I was never able to sleep
Now I'm awake for this and ready to fulfill the dream
My momma always told me no worries
because of our circumstances
but all I've ever wanted was to achieve and make my family proud
to do big things and be able to say their names aloud
so people can know where I come from
I am who I am
I am a DACA candidate
This is me
