To my mother, to my father, and my little brother…
They were all taken.
I will never forget ICE kidnapping all of you,
Being detained.
I cried every night you all were gone.
All I had were photographs.
I didn’t even get a phone call.
I didn’t even know where you were located —
My family…
(Verse 1)
To day I received a phone call,
It was my mother. Ooo oo na
She told me she was sent back to Mexico.
And I asked,
“Where’s my brother and dad?”
She said, “I don’t know…
Some part of the country they sent them to.”
Oo oo oh I can't believe
“One day they’ll show up,
And I’ll know.
But we’re going to try to get back to you,
Or send for you.
Right now, you’re in the land of opportunity.
Things will come back to normal sooner than you think.
We’ll all be back together — a family again.”
(Chorus)
Mama, my mama…
I love you, my mom.
I miss you.
I keep looking at your photographs,
Mom and Dad and my brother…
Missing you all the time.
Wishing one day we’ll all be together —
Together, together.
(Verse 2)
She said, “I’ll write you letters,
To find out how you are in school.
Hope everything’s going well for you.
You’re not to worry —
You are the hope for the future of this family.
Make Mom and Dad and your brother happy — succeed.”
“I’ll send you photos and videos
Once we all come together —
Your dad and your brother.
I’ll keep in touch with you.
But I’m crying all the time,
Worried about your dad and brother…
As your mother, I love you.
And I’ll keep you in my prayers.”
Oo ooo oo ooo yeah set them free
(Bridge – Spoken with emotion)
I love you, my daughter, I love you.
I know it was hard seeing me be taken away,
Your brother and dad are in different vehicles.
Never would we think
There could be so much evil on Earth —
That a man could just break up a family,
Separate its people the way they did us and others…
Handcuffed, shackled down like animals,
Tossed away like dirt in the wind.
Where we landed, nobody knows.
(Outro)
Oh, how much longer must I wait?
My bed is full of water
From the tears I cry — day after night, after night.
How much longer?
I pray all the time, all the time,
For you to be safe,
For security, for all of you.
Mama… my mama…
I love you, my mom.
I miss you.
Mike White Cloudwalker
will I ever see them again.
Mike White Cloudwalker said stay Strong
for the family
