A lonely child
In search of a friend
The road he walks on
Seems it has no end

He looks ahead
But sees nothing there
He stands alone
In the middle of nowhere

Day after day
He hides his pain
He’s traveled far
Hoping is not in vain

He feels abandoned
That goes unsaid
The sun beats down
Upon his head

A lonely child
A beaten man
Has reached the border
As was his plan

A better life
He’d like to begin
He seeks asylum
But they won’t let him in

A lonely child
Awaits in fright
What will he do
As day turns into night

This has been his dream
His story to share
But he’s not welcomed
They made him aware

He feels so lonely
Full of despair
He is destitute
Does anybody care

This whole journey
It’s been a nightmare
He can’t turn back
Nothing awaits him there

A lonely child
A beaten man
Has reached the border
As was his plan

A better life
He’d like to begin
He seeks asylum
But they won’t let him in

A lonely child
Unsure of what to do
Has a dilemma
No one to see him through

At a point of entry
Down at the border
He’s got his papers
All in good order

But the agent there
With blood filled eyes
Goes misinforms him
With nothing but lies

This country’s full
To you, this, I’ll relate
Stay out, stay away
Let’s make America great

A lonely child
A beaten man
Has reached the border
As was his plan

A better life
He’d like to begin
He seeks asylum
But they won’t let him in
