MEXICO'S ROSES AND SKULLS

A beautiful tradition  
That makes a day so colorful  
Candy skulls and flowers  
A great day to celebrate it's huge reason.  
 
Many dressed as the dead  
To honor their loved ones  
A parade with a gigantic deathbed  
Wow so original as all creativity comes  
 
Many children join to help and adorn  
The way love shows  
Bringing all together to spread and transform  
The wisdom of the Day of the Dead grows  
 
Roses and beauty everywhere to see  
Mexico is so Preciosa  
Showing the real meaning of family  
I want to be there and feel like a mariposa.  
 
 
Feel the souls dance  
As Mexico plays music and sing  
Our hearts hold still in a trance  
As whispers are heard through the wind.  
 
We give a huge tribute to every passed soul.  
Learning and understanding the roots of your ancestors  
The ones that gave so much more  
To all those that suffered and I don't know.  
 
I send them my prayer  
That they do find their way  
To cross over bridges and quandar
With God and never lose fate.
