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 |
