she was the only child, daddy had left and momma died
just recently, and it easily left her traumatized
she'd look down and frown remembering horrified...
the fire spreaded house to house, mother was locked inside
the top floor, locked door, eventually smog arrived
tears fall from her eyes watching smoke cover all of the sky
the type of flames that could swallow a forrest alive
since then, everyday she stayed with watery eyes
often would cry, her grandfather often would try
to cheer her mood with a tune that brought a reply
of smiles and joy, soothing and calming her mind
the comfort of music, something she discover'd at 5

music became her life since, never would stop and...
grandpa sanchez played for mexico's top band
so i guess you can say, she learned from the best
playing with fire in her soul that burned in her chest
sweating during her lessons, couldn't give it up
she would play songs for hours till her fingers numb'd
it became her love, worst enemy and bestest friend
as she grew, went to school, and dated many men
engaged to a man who found her unusual though
she was cheating on him, for her musical notes
for nothing can try the only love in her mind,
searching in songs, like there was something to find

a prodigal student in music, her form was flawless
complimented by the bands she toured across with
her style was dubbed as 'goddess of the sun'
when she played, even rain would stop when she was done
her tune filled with a firey passion unlike any other
only matched by the pain from the fire that killed her mother
a natural, growing from the roots in her genes
and it blossem'd like flowers whenever tuning her strings
she realized her darkest memory's her greatest gift
it was always with her, just needed something to awaken it
her destiny met a contract, all would unfurl
when she has the means to say her song to the world

the gloomy girl was no more, her sadness evolved
from a mansion and all, with plaques on her wall
everybody wanted to know her, others would wonder
the story of a girl coming from nothing to something
each song she played before, writing her storys
and now was her time, for her final performance
time to give her speech, her heart was aching
she hasen't shed a single tear since she started playing
coming here from Tijuana, just to express
overcoming a tragedy when she was young and depressed
"all my dreams had come true
theres only one person i'd like to thank...
if your watching, grandpa, i love you"
