lyrics

The desperation to make such a hard and dangerous journey with a child is difficult to imagine. You flee your home and then your new destination is just as unaccepting and cruel as the place from which you escaped. We need to be more compassionate to those whose only real "fault" in life is being born on the wrong side of the border.

The violence in Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and some states in Mexico is staggering. Children are at the forefront of this violence. When parents or other caregivers are murdered, children are left without caregivers. Gangs target young boys and girls who are often left a choice: pledge your life and allegiance to the gang or risk death for you and family members.

The children fleeing from harm in Central America and Mexico are refugees seeking asylum in a place of opportunity and relative safety. We can help them, and we should.
