lyrics
She was born in Midland County
When she was only nine
Trunk pops open
Sunlight streams in
And safety so divine
A parking lot in Midland County
Well welcome to your brand new life
No family
No words here
No easy tomorrow but
Maybe here she can fly
She can fly
She can fly fly fly
Oh fly
Fly
And she was born in Miraflores
Born the first time
Blood on school walls
In Miraflores
Then walking all the time
A thousand miles now from Miraflores
Hide by day walk by night
And the moonlight
It echoes
Su mamá y papá
Mi amor please fly
Mi niña fly
Go fly fly fly
Oh fly
Fly
She had so far to go
Now finally she is home
She had so far to go
Now finally she is…
Now graduation in Midland County
A Master’s - just think of that
Planned a party
With Gabriela
But they knocked and sent her back
And all these folks now in Midland County
Wearing their red hats
Dads of friends and
Twelve-year neighbors
Are chanting Send Them Back
They tell her to fly
Get out fly fly fly
Go fly
Fly
There’s no place she needs to go
She is already home
There’s no place she needs to go
She is already home
She is already home
Home
Home
