This isn't happening

Inutil

Useless

Just like my father was before me

Inutil

Useless

And everyday he cut the cane

He came home late and prayed for rain

Prayed for rain

And on the days when nothing came

My father's face was lined with shame

He'd sit me down beside him and He'd say

My father was a farmer

His father was a farmer

And you will be a farmer

But I told him

Papi I'm sorry I'm going farther

I'm getting on a plane

And I'm gonna change the world someday

And he slapped my face

He stood there staring at me

Useless

Today my daughter's home and I am

Useless

And as a baby she amazed me with the things

She learned each day

She used to stay on the fire escape

While all the other kids would play

And I would stand beside her and I'd say

I'm proud to be your father

'Cuz you worked so much harder

And you are so much smarter

Then I was at your age

And I always knew

That she would fly away

That she was gonna change the world someday

I will not be the reason

That my family can't succeed

I will do what it takes

They'll have everything they need

Or all my work all my life

Everything I've sacrificed will have been useless Carlos Gomez
