Behind the Wall Lyrics

She was living in a tent on the border with thousands in a plaza hot and humid with guards who never smiled.

She longed for the chance to find her child torn from her arms when he was only five.

I'm still behind this wall, but I am coming

Be brave, my little boy. I am coming for you, mi amor

Today was the day she hoped to see Jose

Feeling afraid and yet so very brave

Taking her place in line, wondering,

Will they, will they, will they let me cross

I'm still behind this wall, but I am coming

Be brave, my little boy. I am coming for you, mi amor

Mi corazon, mi corazon, siempre Jose. Be brave, be brave

The windowless van took her back to the tents.

She heard children laughing, playing in the rain

So many tears clouded her eyes, but they wouldn't wash away the pain

I'm still behind this wall, but I am coming. I am coming

Be brave, my little boy. I am coming. I'm coming

I'm still behind this wall, but I am coming

Be brave, my little boy. I'm coming for you, mi amor
