I look to el cielo and the heavens above

And beg for an answer, will I ever find love?

‘Please, por favor, tell me what to do.’

The stars shine down and say,

‘Mami, the answers are all within you.

Trust in your soul, for its knowing is true.

Listen to the body, for it speaks to you too.

Mija, the answers are all within you.’

I look to la tierra and the earth beneath my soles

And beg for an answer, how will I reach my goals?

‘Please, por favor, tell me what to do.’

The bones of my ancestors say,

‘Mami, the answers are all within you.

Believe in your light, for it will shine through.

See with your heart and you’ll have a clear view.

Mija, the answers are all within you.’

I look to el agua and the creatures of the sea

And beg for an answer, how will I be free?

‘Please, por favor, tell me what to do.’

The waves crash to the shore and say,

‘Mami, the answers are all within you.

You are free in your mind and in your heart, too.

With each breath you take, you are born anew.

Mija, the answers are all within you.’
