Lyrics

Father’s only daughter
Mother’s only child
The care I have to offer
Keep them from running wild
My cousins, her brothers, his sisters, their friends
I chased them from Jason’s way out to South End

I have bridged oceans to my plant my feet in new seas
These shells have a history, if only they could tell their story
Guelo’s Cruz me recordó, será lo que deba ser
I cannot lose this fire I hold
My calling is my cross to bear

This is not light work
But I don’t want to put it down
Who do I have to help me out?
This is not light work

Forest for a household
Wolves were all I feared
This ground gave me an old soul
Wise beyond my years
But here in this body I’m finding a home
While searching for safety in streets that I roam

Made to leap mountains to leave my mark on this world
Sometimes I cannot move, my skin weighs a hundredfold
Tireless I try to be, it’s hard to breathe this city air
I cannot lose this fire I hold
My calling is my cross to bear

This ain’t not light work
But I don’t want to put it down
Who do I have to help me out?
This is not light work

***

Your hope your faith
They weigh on me 

My heart and my home
They weigh on me

Strange fruit and old ways
They weigh on me

Their blood and their bones
They weigh on me

Your hugs as you age
They weigh on me

My dreams set in stone
They weigh on me

The paths left to take
They weigh on me

His word and his throne
They weigh on me

This is not light work
But I don’t want to put it down
Who do I have to help me out?
No this is not
Light work

This is not light work
But I don’t want to put it down
Who do I have to help me out?
This is not
Light work
