DREAM
"All I Have to Do Is Dream"
words and music by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant
​new music and lyrics by Roy Zimmerman and Melanie Harby
I think about Alonso Guillén
Again and again since Harvey made landfall

He was born in Piedras Negras

His father brought him across the border


Dream

Dream


He grew up in an east Texas town

Bought a house there, wanted a family

Working to be Alonso Guillén

American citizen this side of the border


Dream 

Dream

The American Dream


And when the waters rose after the hurricane

Alonso drove two hours to Houston

Borrowed a boat and set out in the driving rain

To save some strangers


On Wednesday night, that boat went down

Alonso was found Sunday morning

His mother wipes the tears from her face

Says he’s gone to a place with no borders


Dream…
Dream, Dream, Dream

Dream

The American Dream
​

Dream, Dream, Dream

Dream
