I see you my friend dreaming,
You seem so distant,
You’re screaming “Don’t Die!”,
Friend I see you sleeping,
Yelling “Run away” and “Fire! Fire away!”
Friend be honest,
Are you okay?,
Friend you seem so distant,
Someone took you somewhere just then,
Tell me, I want to know,
Can you help me?
Can you help me for my brother?
I want to know,
Is the war like New Mexico winds of the spring,
Gusty, gusty, gusty, gusty,
Dusty, dusty, dusty,
Windy of the extreme,
Windy of the never end,
Powerful that it can tear something apart,
As my parents’ front yard when it floods,
When the rains come,
We have to fight to save the house,
The blazing heat of the sun that will leave you
As a red chile pepper about to dehydrate,
Did it seem like our land,
Every mile you walk is a different elevation,
Rolling hills with valleys to rough terrain of the mountains,
Tell me my friend what was it like,
Tell me,
I’m glad that you’re home to your homeland,
I’m glad brother is coming home friend,
Tell me, I’m afraid,
I’m afraid for you friend,
I fear for brother,
Did you get the help that you needed friend?
Tell me, I need to know,
The need to understand,
Don’t be distant,
For brother will be home soon,
Friend help me for brother.
