| PRIDE By Melissa Varela |
| When I look around me..... At things I see. I stand proud of who I am, Mexicana and Free Mi Raza is growing In leaps and bounds The barriers are breaking Everywhere I look, I see brown There are talented Latinos Hitting on the big screen Community leaders hitting The polotic scene Mi Gente are in college... Getting their degrees, We know that education is the key We're serving in the military Being all that we can be Proving bravery in battle Keeping this country free Our music reinforces the Latino culture inside Our color is brown I say it with PRIDE Proclaiming our religion for all the world to see La Virgin De Guadalupe on a banner before me I would rather die standing than live on my knees So I look around me And say it loud and proud: YO SOY MEXICANA |
