Juan Luis drowned somewhere in the water
Somewhere north of Cuba runnin' from the coast guard
Juan Luis died right outside the harbor
In earshot of his freedom prayin' to the lord
That Flora de Maria would make it into Florida
And have their little baby in a better place
Flora de Maria made it to the boardwalk
Wiped away the tears but not the kisses from her face
What are we protecting here
Why are we injecting fear
Who are we inflicting tears
What were we expecting dear
What are we protecting
Flora de Maria made it to Miami
Livin' with some relatives, sleepin' on the couch
Flora de Maria had her little baby
Named him Juan Luis and said you make your
Daddy proud
Sometimes in the evening she strolls along the beach
The moonlight in the water reflecting up above
She takes little Juan Luis, dips his toes into the seas
Says My tiny darling feel your daddy's mighty love
What are we protecting here
Why are we injecting fear
Who are we inflicting tears
What were we expecting dear
What are we protecting
Refugees deportees welcome to the land of the free
Refugees deportees welcome to the land of the free
Juan Luis died somewhere in the channel
Whisperin' a prayer for Flora de Marie
Flora de Marie lights a candle on the mantel
And she says a little prayer for Juan Luis
Bienvenidos a Miami
Bienvenidos a Miami
Bienvenidos a Miami Juan Luis
Bienvenidos a Miami
Flora de Maria lights a candle on the mantel
She says a little prayer for Juan Luis
