Elena |
| Elena is working on Lorimer street |
| Directing the traffic in sweltering heat |
| She winds through the motions, a tape on repeat |
| She’s there until moonlight, making ends meet |
| Two kids in school |
| Another dropped out |
| All drawn to darkness |
| Futures in doubt |
| Mama’s heart beating on their whereabouts |
| How they’ll find water in the merciless drought |
| And she prays to you |
| And your boundless light |
| That one day you’ll come to make things right |
| Sprinkling skies of falling stars |
| Where she dreams of flying |
| Another day’s gone by |
| Quietly humming a spiritual song |
| The lilt of each melody keeping her strong |
| Where all dreams are possible, all doubt is gone |
| Where instead of darkness she sees only dawn |
| And she prays for you |
| Every waking night |
| To dance the breezes as a kite |
| The endless seas surround her now |
| And she drifts away |
| How she’d love to stay |
| Elena is working on Lorimer street |
| The pavement beneath her abusing her feet |
| She winds through the motions, a tape on repeat |
| She’s there until moonlight, making ends meet |
| She winds through the motions, a tape on repeat |
| She’s there until moonlight, making ends meet |
