We jumped a moving cargo train
Got off at a rough border town
Traded a knife for a half jar of water
And looked for a place to bed ourselves down
Along a northbound makeshift road
We stopped at an altar to pray
Offered a candle to St Jude and the virgin
And the ancestors guiding our way
Like Israelites called out of slavery
We are wandering far from home
Children of another exodus
In the blazing hot Arizona sun
In the desert there's no path or shade
And the nights are frigid and dark
But the rosaries lost by travelers before us
Mark our way under glimmering stars
Those who have made it further
Leave messages on interstate walls
Reassuring us that freedom is waiting
And the virgin heeds our calls
Like Israelites called out of slavery
We are wandering far from home
Children of another exodus
In the blazing hot Arizona sun
Children of another exodus
In the blazing hot Arizona sun
