Mc Lars - Soledad lyrics

[Hook] [MC Bob Nielsen] 1802 I'm writing to you [MC Lars] Still stuck in Soledad I'm lonely, dad, its true [MC Bob Nielsen] Hope you'll come home When your mission is through [MC Lars] There's nothing but stars And the lonely solitude [Verse 1] [MC Bob Nielsen] Dear Son: Salamanca's still been the same Six thousand miles away but I still feel your pain Adventure and duty did, what was required Your life in the new world, our tired, empire [MC Lars] Dear Father: thanks for writing Not much is new, just heat, wind and rain And the lonely solitude The priesthood is difficult its driving me insane Hypocracy, its not for me, and every night I dream of Spain [MC Bob Nielsen] And the son that you sired that I've been left to raise Is looking more like you every week, every day And it's you that I look in his eyes Everyday he grows taller, last week he turned five [MC Lars] It's just me and my thoughts and the stars up in the sky It's silent and mysterious and peaceful every single night I was martyred for my sins when I fathered a son So they sent me on a mission but I really wish I could run, away [Repeat hook] [Verse 2] [MC Lars] Dear Father, I fear that my faith is slowly fading We brought the natives smallpox and mentally enslaved them With our teachings from the bible, guilt and salvation Trinitarian, cruel agrarians, on this-here plantation [MC Bob Nielsen] Dear Son, I knew Serra, we were friends, she choose church Many souls to redeem after damning them first Built missions, my mission, was spreading the light At the university you can see my teaching these young minds [MC Lars] San Diego, Sonoma, so much more beautiful It was you who taught loyalty, said to beautiful They say in Carmel, that the water's so blue And it's true, if I could, I would swim back to you [MC Bob Nielsen] Your wall's made of mud, the Indians have built Adobe, well it's mostly straw, dirt, and silt The wind and the rain will bring the walls down God's glory gone and loneliness your crown [Repeat hook] [Verse 3] [MC Lars] Ventana to the south, Gabalons to the east There's beauty in our home though it sometimes seems bleak To the glory of Spain, we remain, and maintain This edifice, our testament to faith love and pain [MC Bob Nielsen] A Cathedral you say that you want to be built On the plains of Soledad, one day to be filled With the faithful of California who've not got a clue But Mexico will be free from Spain and so my son will you [MC Lars] Tears on my cheeks, La Grema, Arroyo Seco The wind and the rain, La Terra, Yo Fuego La Cadata, [?] [?] [?] [MC Bob Nielsen] Choose then to return for your work out there's down King and church have been served and the race has been won Disposition from above, you've earned it my son Come home now to family come home to my love [Repeat hook] Dear son
