Ain't No Alien Here

Yeah

They callin' folks aliens but I ain't seen no spaceships land

Just mamas workin' doubles tryin' to feed their families

They say go back where you came from

But half this country was built by the same ones they runnin' from

Saw a man in the field sun burnin' his skin

Hands cracked open but he still grinned

He said I came here hopin' for a little more peace

Now he hides from the law just to pick your beans

Ain't no alien here just blood and bone

Workin' these fields tryin' to make a home

You talk about freedom say it proud and clear

But how free are we when they live in fear

They rollin' up fast no warrant in hand

Kickin' in doors like it's part of a plan

Baby in tears and his mother afraid

Daddy in cuffs with a heart that has prayed

This ain't politics this is pain

You can't build a wall high enough to block the human heart

Different tongues same tears

Same dreams same fears

And if love don't guide your law

Then you ain't protectin' nothin' worth keepin'

Ain't no alien here just souls in flight

Chasin' a sunrise through the darkest night

You say land of the free I want to believe

But freedom has a price too many can't achieve

Ain't no alien here just me and you

Ain't no alien here just me and you
