Letra Nayibs's Song de Gloria Estefan original

Lately my son i've been confused
Don't know what to tell you 'cause it's all such bad news
Lately my son i've been discouraged
I look around and it fills me with worry
What kind of world can i offer you
Where will it all lead, do we have the sense to make it through?
I've tried to figure it out, to have an answer i can tell you
But all i can see, all i can see

(chorus)

Is i am here for you, and you are here for me
It's an ongoing process
I will take care of you and you will take care of me
If were gona make some progress

(verse 2)

Lately my son i feel ashamed
For many things that have happened and are happening again
Really my son i thought we'd learned
From what i see around me it's a very tough world
But all i can hope is that you take it as a challenge
To create somthing new that will take you far,
I know that you can manage
To scatter some hope, 'cause it's not to late to repair the damage
The only way it can be, is so easy to see

Repeat chorus

(bridge)

You gotta believe, never be afraid to dream
But follow it through, 'cause it won't get done unless it comes from you
Gotta make it all work, for the ones that are coming after you
Though hard it may seem, gotta believe

Repeat chorus
