Latin Dream -

I gotta break away

To find the breaks in shadows abiding

Where time isn’t hiding waiting to take away or break my last dream

Sorry to be so dour

But any hour I’m due for the taking

My poor heart is breaking

Now that the nurses say

I’m at the end

I’ll have to get going

There’s no time to waste

This is not a joke

I had mountains, I had stars

And I’m going to lose them!

Don’t Let Go Of the Latin Dream

I’ll be free and flying through the sky

To stay alive

I’ll be in a flight of fancy

Certain to survive

Don’t Let Go Of the Latin Dream

I’ll be tearing down a river

Time is on my tail

I’ll be young and maybe even male

Racing the clock bay by bay

I’m not going to give my life away

I’m gonna find the key

To rescue me

From people with flowers

And visiting hours

I’m sick of all the old, the used, the screams

Don’t cry me a river

Just leave me alone

This is not a joke

I had lovers, I had brains

And I’m going to lose them!

Don’t Let Go Of the Latin Dream

I’ll be free and flying through the sky

To stay alive

I’ll be on in flight of fancy

Certain to survive

Don’t Let Go Of the Latin Dream

I’ll be tearing down a river

Ready for a fight

Or I’ll turn myself into the light

Racing the clock bay by bay

I’m not going to give my life away

You think you’re special, think you’re smart?

Well I’ve got news for you, and guess what senorita?

There is no hiding in your brain, we all had dreams and lost them to the world.

Don’t Let Go Of the Latin Dream

I’ll be free and flying through the sky

To stay alive

I’ll be in a flight of fancy

Certain to survive

Don’t Let Go Of the Latin Dream

You might think it’s useless to pretend

You’re free of time

But nothing is certain in the end

Racing the clock bay by bay

I’m not going to give my life away
