RAISE YOUR HAND
​
(C) Crowes Pasture - 2024
​
Raise your hand, if you are not an immigrant
Or are your roots across the sea
Were your folks seeking opportunity
Or was it more a need to flee
Ask your dad, ask your mom, ask your grandmama
Where you got that family name
They may have been here for two centuries
But they still came here just the same
And when they came, who welcomed them?
How high was the wall?
And how sweet was the liberty
In this land for one and all?
Raise your hand, if you are not an immigrant
If your people were the first ones here
Before, your land was stolen
And you walked the trail of tears
Ask your dad, ask your mom, ask your grandmama
Where you got that family name
They may have come here on the Mayflower
But they still came here just the same
And when they came, who welcomed them
How high was the wall
And how sweet was the liberty
In this land for one and all​
