[Intro]
Silent shadows in the night, the echo of our ancestors' fight
Voices rise, stories unfold, echoes of our hearts so bold
[Verse 1]
Mama worked the fields at dawn, sacrificed her pain and tears
Taught me strength, taught me dreams, erased my doubts and fears
Father’s hands rough and worn, built a future from the ground
Love and hope in every scar, memories that astound
[Pre-Chorus]
We carry on their legacy, roots deep in this land
But fear my heart, the threat of loss, slipping through our hands
[Chorus]
Stand up, ICE, see our lineage, understand our plea
We’re kin, we're roots, we're survivors, fighting to be free
Not all here broken, not all here afraid,
We fight injustice together, unbowed, unafraid
[Bridge]
California was once México, remember where we came from
Built this land with sweat and blood, we are never done
Respect our dignity, honor our human right
Stand against this darkness, turn wrong into right
[Outro]
We’ll fight for love, for life, for every child’s tomorrow
Mexicanos, unidos, fighting back against the sorrow
Latinos together, till the bitter end, for justice, for life, we defend
