    Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    This music is straightforward and poetic, and trusts in the power of words.

    The song is a Mexican balada (ballad written in English.) David Pulkingham’s clean guitar, offered the chance for Leti’s vocals to sail clear. Michael Ramos’ solo accordion plays to the vision of a quiet campfire under a starry Texas sky, romantic and almost playful to counterbalance the reason for the writing of this song.

Leti’s work has always been about inclusion.

lyrics

The vivid sun across the land far in the distance
could make a smile that lasts forever
The circling birds high in the blue sky call out to me
with cries of unknown lamentations

A steady wind, my steadfast friend, will never let up
I depend on it for comfort
A knowing moon looks down considering
what may or may not happen on its watch

The scent of campfires filled the air
the day I walked across
to see the campgrounds.

The tents lay scattered all around, and
Clothes were drying on the fences.
I saw people everywhere I looked
with open faces
Walking hand in hand were children
playing games, and holding on to hope.

Coro:
Where is the Truth
In all this beauty, all this struggle, all this crazy border madness
That makes a country create laws
without looking at the faces of the children
Where is the Truth
In all this beauty, all this struggle, all this crazy border madness.
That sends a message to my heart, right from the start, that loves just written in a song

What kind of justice sends a child without family
back to countries filled with danger?
What kind of justice fills a quota of a law
that brings death and illness?
We talk of victory that we’ve solved the problem of our borders
We bully children.
Who are without a home, without a gun, yes love’s just written in a song

Repeat Coro
