Sigue andando el camino Por toda su vida Respira Breathe Y si pierdes mis huellas Que Dios te bendiga Respira This is my street I smile at the faces I've known all my life They regard me with pride And everyone's sweet They say, "You're going places" So how can I say That while I was away I had so much to hide? Hey guys, it's me The biggest disappointment you know The kid couldn't hack it She's back, and she's walking real slow Welcome home Just breathe Sigue andando el camino Por toda su vida Respira, just breathe Y si pierdes mis huellas Que Dios te bendiga Respira As the radio plays old forgotten boleros I think of the days when the city was mine I remember the praise Ay, the adoro, te quiero The neighborhood waved and said "Nina, be brave, te quiero and you're gonna be fine," (respira) Maybe it's me (respira) But it all seems like lifetimes ago So what do I say to these faces that I used to know? "Hey, I'm home?" Mira, Nina Hey No me preocupo por ella They're not worried about me Mira, allí esta nuestra estrella They are all counting on me to succeed Ella si da la talla I am the one who made it out The one who always made the grade But maybe I just should have just stayed home When I was a child I stayed wide awake Climbed to the highest place On every fire escape Restless to climb I got every scholarship Saved every dollar The first to go to college How do I tell them why I'm coming back home With my eyes on the horizon Just me and the GWB Asking, gee Nina What'll you be? Straighten the spine Smile for the neighbors Everything's fine Everything's cool The standard reply "Lots of tests, lots of papers" Smile, wave goodbye and pray to the sky Oh God What will my parent say? Can I go in there and say "I know that I'm letting you down" Nina Just breathe
