Stand for Our Roots

Silent shadows in the night, the echo of our ancestors' fight

Voices rise, stories unfold, echoes of our hearts so bold

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

We carry on their legacy, roots deep in this land

But fear my heart, the threat of loss, slipping through our hands

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

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

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
