Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On a cold windy day, in Minneapolis town,
Nurse Alex Pretti wore a frown,
He saw two women, hurt and distressed,
With a heart full of care, he couldn't just rest.
When ICE came in hot, badges flashing bright,
Pepper spray in hand, ready for the fight,
They blinded his eyes, took away his breath,
Down on his knees, it led to his death.
[Chorus]
Why are ICE agents untrained and so cold?
Breaking our laws, breaking our souls,
They don’t follow the rules, and don’t heed the law,
God help us all, these ICE agents are out of control.
[Verse 2]
Three shots rang out, echoing the fright,
As Alex was beaten, under the pale light,
A peaceful protest turned to dismay,
He was fighting for justice, in his steadfast way.
With courage in his heart, and truth by his side,
He stood for the women, embraced them with pride,
But all of that love fell silent so fast,
An innocent life shattered, a future now past.
[Chorus]
Why are ICE agents untrained and so cold?
Breaking our laws, breaking our souls,
They don’t follow the rules, and don’t heed the law,
God help us all, these ICE agents are out of control.
[Bridge]
In a city of promise, where dreams should thrive,
We search for the justice that keeps hope alive,
But fear fills the air, and a chill grips the ground,
As we gather together, our voices unbound.
[Verse 3]
So we remember Alex, his bravery shone,
In every heart he touched, he's never alone,
We'll stand for the women, the voiceless, the weak,
With a love that is fierce, and a will that won’t break.
The winds may be cold, but the fire will glow,
In solidarity strong, we’ll rise up in tow.
[Chorus]
Why are ICE agents untrained and so cold?
Breaking our laws, breaking our souls,
They don’t follow the rules, and don’t heed the law,
God help us all, these ICE agents are out of control.
[Outro]
So let the world hear of Alex's last stand,
A brave nurse of justice, with love in his hands,
Together we’ll fight, for the truth and the way,
Remembering Alex, on that cold windy day.
