Mi Pueblo Escuchame
Lily Goodman
My Town, Listen to Me
My town, listen to what I'm about to say
It'll only take a minute if you have to go
I don't want you to say anything, just listen
Sorry if I interrupt you at any moment
Today marks 2000 years since I was crucified
My body spit on and bloodied
I took all your sins upon my side
To give you eternal life as a gift
And today questions arise
Why don't you listen to me?
Why don't you look at me?
Why don't you hug me?
Hypocrisy has blinded your mind
And you say you love me
You've gotten so strong in your reasoning
You've traded my glory for your feelings
Sometimes at night I come and wake you up
But you no longer care to talk to me for a moment
You spend all your time talking about vain things
While TV and trends just distract you
You've lost the holiness that once shone in you
You know more about soap operas than my word
My longing is to use you to show my glory
To fill you with anointing that overflows your cup
To change the world every time you speak
Because time is running out, running out
Remember when you weren't in my arms
You cried like a hungry, barefoot child
In slow motion, you and I came together
Tears fell dancing in a puddle
I gave you a new life, opened new doors
Filled your heart, erasing the sadness
Today you say you have your bags packed
You're leaving for the world, no matter what happens
You can't deny I was always with you
I hope that if you come back, I haven't left
Then it will be too late
And you won't be able to find me
Your cheeks will wear out from crying for me
When you remember the moments with me
Your cheeks will wear out from crying for me
When you remember the moments with me
Come back to me, to me
Come back to me, to me
Come back to me, to me
Come back to me, to me
