Please play those songs once more, originally uploaded by Thorsten Becker.
Down that road
Dreams carried under their arms
Music in their souls
Dressed in fine clothes
Songs of bright days and pride ways
Here, in this tattered town
Of sun beaten whitewashed walls
And plenty of touristy stalls
They carry on in thoughts of yonder
“Where to?” I stand and wonder
Mariachis, por favor
Please play those songs once more
For I certainly care to listen
To the melodies that I've been missen
Because the noise of my “better life”
Keeps drowning out that desire to strife
For simpler things and thoughtful acts
Those basic facts
That life is not about how much we earn
But how much we yearn
To learn
About each other
