Lo que un día fue no será
Nicho Hinojosa
What Once Was Will Not Be
In your hands I learned to drink water
I was a sparrow that got trapped in your cage
Because I cut my wings
And the birdseed you gave me
Was so little and yet I loved you.
My song for you was always complete
Without you, I couldn't fly in another sky
Because you left me alone, confused, and forgotten
And another hand offered me the desired fruit.
What once was will not be, don't come looking for me again
I have nothing to give you, I'm tired of your birdseed
Go fly to another sky and leave your cage open
Maybe another sparrow will fall, but give it water to drink.
Let me turn on the light, I don't want anything
If this had been yesterday, I would have taken it
The first time you offered for me to stay here
But without loving you, what would you gain?
What once was will not be, don't come looking for me again
I have nothing to give you, I'm tired of your birdseed
Go fly to another sky and leave your cage open
Maybe another sparrow will fall, but give it water to drink.
