CHORUS: Querido abuelo, estoy perdido. Te echo de menos. Te necesito. (x2)

Dear Grandfather, I miss you. I wish I'd listened to you. I wish I'd met to you.
I wish I'd known you, because ever since the day that I was born I needed the wisdom of an older dude. I was a dumb lil' boy. Now I'm a younger man,
but I'm still lost in this world, clutching some crumbling plans. I been stuck up in this prison, drunk with all these other fishes, puffing on that skunky piff.
We're not distracted, we're disinterested. I never wanted a normal job with a tie
and an office and a boss and a pension. I said, fuck that shit. I'd rather have a raft than a sunken ship. I wanna ask my grand-dad what he woulda did.
I'm wondering what you were like. Were you the truthful type? Would you choose fight or flight? Were you strong and silent, or powerful, loud and violent? How do you right the wrongs in life and fight these brutal tyrants? Cause I've been trying.

CHORUS:
Querido abuelo,
Estoy perdido.
Te echo de menos.
Te necessito.

Dear Grandfather, I am mad honored just to be my dad's son, just because my mom's your daughter. I give y'all props and pay homage, cause if y'all hadn't raised my parents right, then maybe I'd not have been brought up by 'em honestly.
There's many stories that I've heard about you, and I hold many values I'd never have learned without you. So when I'm dealing with doubt, I think about you, like
if I'm the only Schamis and Rouda, then I won't let us down, trust. I been focused
on the future like the fortune teller. I'm tryna find some fertile soil so my seeds can flourish. I'm getting older and I have to figure out just what I'm gon do. I look to y'all for guidance like an oracle. I'm done crying for help.
I'm minding my health, because I'm kinda tryna be a grandfather myself. I'm glad to have been your descendent, and I'm sad that we never met before
the gods had to send for you. Querido abuelo, te amo. Jah bless you.

(CHORUS)

Dear Grandfather, ever since I read "Of The Water And The Spirit" by
Malidoma Some I been doubly lonely. I understood what he subtly told me when he said that every boy needs a man to model roles from. No disrespect to my dad,
cause I ain't never choose to pass him up, he was the best, don't be calling me
a bastard son. It's just my pop never had his pop-pop live long enough to
ask him stuff. So we're both lost. It's like we're both frozen.
Our past vanished like a ghost, that's a cold omen. Now we're both grown free men, we tryna talk about rewilding but don't know where to begin.
That's why I'm opened up and singing. I'm focused on the vision of
my grandchildrens' wishes. And I'ma make 'em proud, if only I could send this out to my grandfathers in the clouds.

(CHORUS)
