Saint Christopher, patron saint of the traveler
Got my baby on my shoulder as I stand on the river side
My daughter and my son are hungry
We ain't got no money but we got a lot of pride
Father Domingos said "you'll sing with the angels on the river bank"
Thank the Lord that you can still afford to go up to the land of the free
Mommy and Graces took all of our savings and gave it to the man on side
To get us under the fence and then we can make it
In the land of the dragon's eye
In the land where the dragons fly
Give us Mother Mary The strength just to carry on
Father Rodriquez Said "God won't you save us We're going over there tonight" Into the land of the free Where there's lots of money
And we can lay down our pride
