Let me tell ya a story about a lady

Who is strong willed and courageous

She's my inspiration

The foot hill of los andes

She grew up 'til they stole away her dreams

And so she had to flee

Life is too short she thought

I know I'll make it

Always

To the new world

I know I can make my home

'Cause every day I'm getting closer

Always

To my destination that's where I will go

Here we are

Twenty and some gone by

You worked hard all your life

And I wrote this song for I

Always

Will be proud of who I am

So mama

Don't be tempted to be saddened by what they might say

Always

To the high, look forward

Don't look back, I'm thankful

'Cause you taught me to bring out the best in me

Every time I'm feeling

Frustrated or uneasy

I know I can count on her love and her affection

Like the sun she warms me

In her arms I'm cradled

Like a new born baby

With her I can surrender

In this life she said

You'll fail then you will grow

Always

Just remember who you are

You're not alone

And every day you're getting closer

Always

To your destination that's where you belong
