A Song For Mi Hijo Futuro

hello, pretty baby, 

please forgive us for the mess.

will you clean it if you can?

we’ve been cleaning, but it’s–

 

today, pretty baby

i found treasures in our tongues.

could you speak it if you tried?

if i speak it, i might–

 

thank you, pretty baby

for your name that sounds like mine.

how it’s different, I don’t mind

we will learn it, give us–

 

grow up, pretty baby

but dont worry about size

you’ll go hungry all the time

i stopped eating, now i’m–

 

return, pretty baby

to this neighborhood of ours

where you’d find it i don’t know

you might see it, should you–

 

sun sets, pretty baby

but you’ll always hold the light

won’t you save us from the dark?

won’t you save us–

 

won’t you?
