about

Written in Villa Abecia, Bolivia November 2015 at a Hotel with oversized wine barrels for furniture and a majestic gray stallion tied up in the courtyard.

lyrics

Can't imagine riding an airplane going on vacation
I’ve been working nights and weekends since I was walking
School is fleeting sometimes dad gets angry
If he hits me he always is sorry
Some night are hungry but we pray each evening for a bright new morning

Being poor isn’t extraordinary
Without a dream something to believe in
I ask god why I'm living

My new boyfriend brings me flowers
We ride his motorcycle
As we go flying my arms around
I never been so in love

Now I go to school in the morning
I go back in the evening
Too much for harvest season
I can't help staring at those pressed school uniforms I too wanna learn

Being poor isn’t extraordinary
Without a dream something to believe in
I ask god why I'm living

When I learned I was pregnant
I could not stop crying
Although he’ll make a good husband
His days in construction moving rocks from left to right
Our baby's with me day and night
I'm not much for reading words have no meaning
They came slow when they came at all
Baby on my back now and little by little
I forget what it was to be alone

Being poor isn’t extraordinary
Without a dream something to believe in
I ask god why I'm living

I can’t imagine riding an airplane Going on vacation
