[Verse 1] Day three, cold dewy morning Colorful clouds, another broken promise Miguel still by the fire, no warning That his drivers would show up, all dishonest Calls to his handler go unanswered still Tucson to El Paso, leery of the hill [Chorus] Frozen water, puma prints in the dirt How much more can one man take before he's hurt Sleeping by the fire while predators roam So far, so dangerously far from home Frozen water tells the story of the night Puma prints say he's lucky to see morning light [Verse 2] Water bottle frozen solid in his hand Puma tracks circling where he slept Border security patrols scan this land Drivers staying away, promises unkept Magdalena Mountains hide their prey Miguel's still here another day [Pre-Chorus] Every promised pickup falls apart Every night survival is the only art Temperature drops, danger all around But Miguel won't abandon his ground [Chorus] Frozen water, puma prints in the dirt How much more can one man take before he's hurt Sleeping by the fire while predators roam So far, so dangerously far from home Frozen water tells the story of the night Puma prints say he's lucky to see morning light [Bridge] Driver's leery, don't want to be caught Miguel's desperate for the chance he bought Third and final paid attempt to cross Fear of being sent home, that ultimate loss So he waits, and waits, and nearly froze How this ends, nobody knows [Final Chorus] Frozen water, puma prints in the sand Testament to courage, testament to a man Who won't give up though the odds are steep Who fights for his dream even in his sleep Frozen water, puma prints survive Just like Miguel, still alive [Outro] Still alive... Still fighting... Still believing...
