Niña Sara

Sara came into the world like you and me
With a stroke of luck and no questions asked
She arrived and without permission stole my heart

Sara cried, I didn't understand her
But her smile gave me life
Sara cried and filled me with love

Welcome girl,
Pretty girl, Sara
I gave you life
And now you
Give it back to me.

Welcome girl,
Pretty girl, Sara
I gave you life
And now you
Give it back to me.

I pictured a different world for her
Something different, something more decent
A better place than what I could offer

A cleaner, more humane, and transparent world
A pleasant, happy, and intelligent place
Something better, for the world she was going to have

Every morning when I wake up I tell myself
That I have to do something
To give Sara a life in a better world

Every morning when I make a promise
To be a better person, to respect this earth,
So that children live in a better world.

Welcome girl
Pretty girl, Sara
I gave you life
And now you
Give it back to me.

Welcome girl
Pretty girl, Sara
I gave you life
And now you
Give it back to me.

I gave you life
And now you
Give it back to me...
