Lyrics
Oh I just wanna go to work
And get back home, and be something
I just wanna fall and lie
And do my time, and be something
Well I just wanna prove my worth
On the planet Earth, and be, something
I just wanna fall in love
Not fuck it up, and feel something
Well lately, don't understand what I am
Treated as a fool
Not quite a woman or a man
Well I don't know
I guess I don't understand the plan
Colonized, and hypnotized, be something
Sterilized, dehumanized, be something
Well take your pay
And stay out the way, be something
Ah, do your best
But fuck the rest, be something
Well lately, it's been mighty hard to see
Just searching for my lost humanity
I look for you, my friend
But do you look for me?
Lately I'm not too afraid, to die
I wanna leave it all behind
I think about it sometimes
Lately all my time's been movin' slow
I don't know where I'm gonna go
Just give me time, I'll know
Oh, any day now
Oh, any day now
I will come along
Oh, any day now
Oh, any day now
I will come along
I will come along
Dead Puerto Ricans, who never knew they were Puerto Ricans
Who never took a coffee break from the 10th commandment
To kill, kill, kill
The landlords of their cracked skulls
And communicate with their Latin souls
Juan, Miguel, Milagros, Olga, Manuel
From the nervous breakdown streets where the mice live like millionaires
And the people do not live at all
From el barrio to Arecibo, ¡Pa'lante!
From Marble Hill to the ghost of Emmett Till, ¡Pa'lante!
To Juan, Miguel, Milagros, Manuel, ¡Pa'lante!
To all who came before, we say, ¡Pa'lante!
To my mother and my father, I say, ¡Pa'lante!
To Julia, and Sylvia, ¡Pa'lante!
To all who had to hide, I say, ¡Pa'lante!
To all who lost their pride, I say, ¡Pa'lante!
To all who had to survive, I say, ¡Pa'lante!
To my brothers, and my sisters, I say, ¡Pa'lante!
¡Pa'lante!
¡Pa'lante!
To all came before, we say, ¡Pa'lante!

When you can't find the light
That got you through the cloudy days
When the stars ain't shinin' bright
You feel like you've lost you're way
When the candlelight of home
Burns so very far away
Well, you got to let your soul shine
Just like my daddy used to say
He used to say soulshine
It's better than sunshine
It's better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain
Hey, now people don't mind
We all feel this way sometimes
You gotta let your soul shine, shine till the break of day
I grew up thinkin' I had it made
Gonna make it on my own
Life can take the strongest man
Make him feel so alone
Now sometimes I feel a cold wind
Blowin' through my achin' bones
I think back to what my daddy said
He said "boy, in this darkness before the dawn"
Let your soul shine
It's better…
