Bilingual
My daddy wore a cap like yours
ย
He got down on his knees and he faced the rising sun
And he did it again when the day was done
He wouldn't need this and he wouldn't need that
No matter the lee, no matter the fed
He drove my mama crazy, but she loved him anyway
They found each other in the darkness
The way they looked at the world wasn't the same
But the way that they looked at each other, there was the flame
They sold my daddy down when I was ten
I've never grown as fast as I did then
The last look in his eye was for me and her
I'll never forget the family we were
No matter what they say, our hearts beat red
Just like theirs
No matter what they say, our tears get shed
Just like theirs
ย
Some men, they came according after that
But they ate all the lee, they ate all the fed
They drove my mama crazy and she sent them all away
We find each other in the darkness
The way we look at the world isn't the same
But the way our hearts can see each other, there is the flame
There is the light
It ain't no shame to hold on tight
To memories, to histories
To feelings, it's heeling
So remember it all
I do
What else do we have?
