In June 2018, President Trump decided to take children from immigrant parents seeking asylum to the U.S. He did it to threaten and discourage other immigrants from seeking asylum. He has clearly shown a dislike for brown and black people.

I wrote this song first as a parent who had their child kidnapped and dispersed throughout centers in the U.S. without any information about their children's whereabouts. Some may never be reunited because they had no tracking system. I also wrote it as a child, stripped from their families, lost, scared, and traumatized forever. Someone has to speak for them, and someone has to call out the evil that embodies Donald Trump.

Tearing Families Apart
Floyd Gonzales, July 12, 2018
1st Chorus, verse, Part A: Am# F#
Where have they taken my children? What are they doing to them? Are they hurting, are they safe, are they okay? No one one can love them like me.
Part B1: G# Am# Dm# F Am7# Dm7# Em9# Am9#
What kind of man, makes children cry, tearing families apart? A man who has no heart. Hate is tearing us apart. An evil man. An evil man.
2st Chorus, verse Part A Am F
Where have they taken my children? America took them from me. I can’t see, talk, or hug them. And, tell them that I love them. Tell them that I love them.
Part B1 G Am Dm Em Am7 Dm7 Em9 Am9
What kind of man, makes children cry, tearing families apart? A man who has no heart. Hate is tearing us apart. An evil man. An evil man.
3rd Chorus, verse Part A Am F
Are my parents dead? Did they stop loving me? They left me here. They haven’t called. Will I remember them, will they forget about me?
Part B1 G Am Dm Em Am7 Dm7 Em9 Am9
What kind of man, makes children cry, tearing families apart? A man who has no heart. Hate is tearing us apart. An evil man. An evil man.
4th Chorus, verse Part A Am F
What’s gonna happen to me?
I’m a child, split from my family.
Alone, no one I know.
You took my parents from me.
Part B2 G Am Dm Em Am7 Dm7 Em9 Am9
What kind of man steals a baby from a mom? A man who has no heart. Spreading disharmony. Hating minorities. An evil man. A hateful man, an evil man.
5th Chorus, verse, Part A Am F
Thousands of children like me.
Kidnapped, to threaten people like me.
All we wanted was asylum, how will I ever find ‘em ?
Where is my family?
3x Part B2 G Am Dm Em Am7 Dm7 Em9 Am9
What kind of man, makes children cry, tearing families apart? A man who has no heart. Hate is tearing us apart. An evil man. An evil man.
