Terry Scott:  While I wrote this song many years after leaving the UFW, it was very much inspired by the years I spent living and working with farm workers.  This song is written from a more personal perspective in that it tells the story of two young lovers, but in the broader context of the basic struggles that many migrants and recent immigrants go through in their efforts to find a home and happiness in this country.  It’s also an expression of my admiration for those people who have the courage to take risks and jump into a “Brand New Life.”
