I'm gonna walk to the river
I'm gonna walk to the river
I'm gonna walk to the river
I'm gonna walk to the river
I'm gonna walk to the river
I'm gonna walk to the river
I got my family close at hand
We'll march like ants across the sand
We're not criminals, we're refugees
And we're heading to the land of the free
I'm gonna walk to the river
And when I got down to the water
The water was high
She held on tightly to my hand
We jumped into the Rio Grande
I'm gonna walk to the river
I'm gonna walk to the river
I'm gonna walk to the river
Vultures ride the thermals
They're circling 'round and 'round
There's something in the water
I think somebody drowned
I'm going down
Maybe it's a blessing not to realize your dreams
Cause they're locking kids in cages
And at night you hear the screams
America has no place for you, there's nothing left to sell
It's the secret of the river and the river never tells
I'm gonna walk to the river
I'm gonna walk to the river
I'm gonna walk to the river
I'm gonna walk to the river
I'm gonna walk to the river
I'm gonna walk to the river
