about

A protest song about the inhumane immigration policies in the U.S. government--policies that are particularly heartless towards children. The image of the 2 year old girl and her father, drowned in the Rio Grande river, are at the center of the song.

lyrics

MY ONE GOOD EYE
Written by Cathy Lemons, BMI: Take No Prisoners

With my one good eye
I heard the knock on my door
I thought I told ‘em
Don't live here no more

So I crept up close
to the keyhole
I didn’t see nothing
But I seen ‘em all before

When they come for you
Lord knows,
They come for us all
That’s how it works

Well a hush fell down
Like a shadowed tree
So I slipped through the back door
Ran into the reeds

I made a weave for the wood
And the wind was high
All the leaves were scratchin’
Against a clear glass sky

When they come for you
Lord knows,
They come for us all
That’s just how it works

I got down to the river
Then I froze like a stone
I saw a man and a baby child
Floating along

They was face down still
Near the muddy dirt
Her tiny white hand caught
Beneath her daddy’s black short

They gonna bind your lips
They gonna bind your eyes
They gonna bind your wings
So you can't fly

They gonna track you down
Shine a light in your face
Ya can’t see nothin’
Lord, ‘cause there is no place

When they come for you
Lord knows,
They come for us all
That’s how it works

They gonna bind your lips
Gonna bind your hips
They got ya moving slow
Ya, with your head down low

Somebody better look
I said somebody better look
Oh, Oh
Somebody better look

I said it’s not too late
To save the plate
