Dia De Los Muertos

It’s dia de los muertos

And yeah I got a few

So I’ll open myself up

Y’all be the spirits

I’ll be the cup

I know the deal

I can only sing

While I’m here

And when I’m gone

I’ll haunt the songs

C’mon, you didn’t really think

That it was just us here!?

Yooo-hooo-hoooooooo-ooooo

Yooo-hooo-hoooooooo

Yooo-hooo-hoooooooo-ooooo

Yooo-hooo-hoooooooo

Padre, hold the beat

John will get the melody soarin’

While august brings distortion

Hey emilie, would you bring me words to sing

While Grammie points to god

With the voice that’s pouring through me

Uncle dave, give it some grit

Your rough-hewn love for humans

While amma makes an ambient bed

To hold us while we lose it

Jamie play the light

Make the shadows hit just right

Mario bring some levity,

Horns and shakers when it’s heavy

Ampa, tend the timing

That growing sacred silence

That’s cocking back to knock us out

With a punchline drenched in kindness

Katrina, keep us rooted

To the earth who lets us do this

While D.R. teaches us to do

Whatever the muse needs doin’

Seamus don’t let us forget

The honor that it always is

To hold a song and story

Ancient wise and holy

Poppa bring some southern sweetness,

Padre fill it all with meaning,

Sarah, keep it in good taste,

But warm-hearted,

In beaty’s name

It’s dia de los muertos

And yeah I got a few

So I’ll open myself up

Y’all be the spirits

I’ll be the cup

I know the deal

I can only sing

While I’m here

And when I’m gone

I’ll haunt the songs

C’mon, you didn’t really think

That it was just us here!?
