I come from very far
Where I have left my friends and family
In search for my dream
That they never lack their bread everyday
My parents are getting old
My children grow far away
I’m very tired but I have to carry on
And although this is a hard life
Their sweetness gives me strength to live
I’m an immigrant
I do it for them
I’m an immigrant
I do it for me
For a future
Where we can share

I’m an immigrant
in America

Years have passed
Not everything is sweet
But it’s less bitter now
There are times, however
That I look at the sky
and remember myself in their arms
To think that I’m so far
That we are getting old
I’m very tired but I have to carry on

Although life is hard
Their sweetness gives me strength to live
I’m an immigrant
I do it for them
I’m an immigrant
I do it for me
For a future
Where we can share

I’m an immigrant
in America

I’m an immigrant ..
I do it for them
I’m an immigrant
I do it for me
For a future
Where we can share
I’m an immigrant
