I'm a thousand miles away from home
Searching for the place where streets are paved with gold
Where opportunities never end
And happiness is always around the corner
I'm searching for a better way of life
I'm here to make it better for what I left behind
The days are long the short nights bring peace
Being in foreign lands is harder than you think
So many words to say but they don't make it past my mind
There isn't enough time to think
Before I'm back on the grind
Never asking for more always settling for less
Making a dollar of the job nobody gets
It's time to treat labor work for more than what it's worth
Home of the wrongdoing and the cursed
I didn't come here to exploit it
I came here to embrace it
There's no competition between us
I'm just trying to make it
It's hard to get around all your rules and regulations
All I want is a chance to better my situation
You tend to disagree
You rather create war zones and threaten us with deportation
But we'll find a way back
Because you can't stop a heart with determination
