Story behind the song
inspired by news story of female Venezuelan journalist fleeing her country to seek asylum from persecution in the U. S.
Lyrics
From Chavez to Maduro, Ive witnessed blood in the streets
Soon theyll be coming after mine
Because of things I believe in, threats to voices of truth
I must flee to save my life
Piling into the freight cars, by way of truck and on foot
Asylum seekers, heading north
Crawl through trails in the jungles, fording rivers chin high
In search of my life, before I die
Traveling the refugee road
Thousands of miles from home
Please take me in
Tired, thirsty and hungry, wilting in tropical heat
Fractured souls, bleeding feet
Traveling the refugee road
Thousands of miles from home
Please take me in
3,000 miles behind me, one last border to cross
Will I be saved, will I be lost
Im just one face among thousands, guided by faith in Gods plan
Hear my story, take my hand
Traveling the refugee road
I can never go home
So please take me in
