Lyrics

Midnight near the border trying to cross the Rio Grande
 Runnin' with coyotes to where the streets are paved with gold
 You're diving underwater when you hear the helicopters
 Knowing it's all been less than worthless if you run into patrols
 Hiding in the shadows, so scared that you want to scream
 But you dare not make a sound if you want to hold on to your dreams
 Hold on though it may not be a lot, but
 Hold on, cause you know it's all you got
 Hold on
 Hold on
 ♪
 No matter the consequences or the fear that grips your senses
 You have got to hold on to your dreams
 City of the Angels with its bright light fascination
 Only adds to the confusion that your mind must now endure
 The gringos take advantage when they know that you're illegal
 Bot you void la policía like a plague that can't be cured
 Paying la mordida you find out just what pollo means
 But you dare not file complaints if you want to hold on to your dreams
 Hold on, though it may not be a lot, but
 Hold on, cause you know it's all you got
 Hold on
 You have got to hold on to your dreams
 Hold on
 Hold on
 You have got to hold on to your dreams
 Hold on
 Though it may not be a lot
 Hold on, cause you know it's all you got
 Hold on
 You have got to hold on to your dreams
 Hold on
 Though it may not be a lot
 Hold on, cause you know it's all you got
 Hold on
 Though it may not be a lot
 Hold on, cause you know it's all you got
 Hold on
 Though it may not be a lot
 Hold on, cause you know it's all you got
 Hold on
