about

[Rock, Singer/Songwriter] (4:14) - Annie grew up in Texas and has
numerous friends and family members who immigrated from Mexico in search of better lives in America. In recent years, thousands of children have been abandoned at the border because their desperate families want better futures for their children too. Sadly, these children have become the victims of politics and violence and often end up in worse conditions than from those which they were originally fleeing.

lyrics

The Promised Land
© ℗ 2022 by Annie Benjamin, Rocket Girl Music (BMI)

Little child where is your mama
Little child where is your papa
You’ve traveled all this way so far from home
Little child how did you get here
Your story’s vague and not totally clear
You speak a different language and you’re all alone

Chorus:
You’re stuck at the border
Between Hell and The Promised Land

Little child what’s in your hand there
A piece of paper with your name and a birth year
And the address of a relative in San Salvador
All you’ve got are the clothes that your wearing
Your heart is heavy with the secrets your carrying
From a land where life is cheap and gangs in the street are waging war

Chorus:
You’re stuck at the border
Between Hell and The Promised Land

Bridge:
All the politics
Are between governments
But thugs with drugs and guns are in control
Turn them back we say
‘Cause we don’t wanna pay
For children other than our own

So You’re stuck at the border
Between Hell and The Promised Land

Little child where is your mama
Little child where is your papa
Far from the border,
Far from the border

Chorus:
And your stuck at the border
You’re stuck at the border
You’re stuck in the border
Between Hell and the Promised Land
