"This creates a serious problem, by describing people as illegal instead of describing their actions"

- a very important point! I wish Michael Franti could be immigration tsar...

I don’t need a passport to walk on this earth
Anywhere I go ’cause I was made of this earth
I'm born of this earth, I breathe of this earth
And even with the pain I believe in this earth
so I wake up in every mornin' and I'm steppin' on the floor
so I wake up in every mornin' and I'm steppin' out the door
I got faith in the sky
faith in the one
faith in the people rockin' underneath the sun
'cause every bit of land is a holy land
and every drop of water is a holy water
and every single child is a son or a daughter of the one earth mama
and the one earth papa
and so don’t tell a man that he can’t come here
'cause he got brown eyes and a wavy kind of hair,
And don’t tell a woman that she can’t go there
‘Cause she prays a little different to a god up there,

You say you’re a Christian ’cause God made you,
You say you’re a Muslim ’cause God made you,
You say you’re a Hindu and the next man a Jew
And we all kill each other 'cause god told us to? NAH!

Hello, hello! (hello, hello)
Bonjour, bonjour! (bonjour bonjour)
Hola, hola! (hola hola)
Konnichiwa, konnichiwa wa!

- Michael Franti
