From the recording This Is Our Destiny
Original folk song about Joz Sida, the people's candidate for mayor of Fontana, CA, and her family who immigrated to USA from Mexico in the 1970's.
Lyrics
Dad... worked so hard for everything,
Ended up with nothing,
But he made me.
But I… tell him, “No, that is NOT nothing.
Dad, that is everything.
This is OUR destiny."
I've got my head up in the clouds,
But my feet are on the ground.
Gonna make my parents proud,
And I'll fight for them,
As I fight for you.
Mom and Dad… came here in the 70's.
They sacrificed everything,
The American dream
And this… isn't just about me.
It's the love and community
This is OUR destiny.
I've got my head up in the clouds,
But my feet are on the ground.
Gonna make my parents proud,
And I'll fight for them,
As I fight for you.
