I gotta break away
To find the breaks in shadows abiding
Where time isn't hiding waiting to take away or break my last dream

Sorry to be so dour
But any hour I'm due for the taking
My poor heart is breaking

Now that the nurses say
I'm at the end
I'll have to get going

There's no time to waste
This is not a joke
I had mountains, I had stars

And I'm going to lose them!

Don't Let Go Of the Latin Dream

I'll be free and flying through the sky
To stay alive
I'll be in a flight of fancy

Certain to survive
Don't Let Go Of the Latin Dream
I'll be tearing down a river

Time is on my tail
I'll be young and maybe even male
Racing the clock bay by bay

I'm not going to give my life away

I'm gonna find the key

To rescue me
From people with flowers
And visiting hours

I'm sick of all the old, the used, the screams
Don't cry me a river
Just leave me alone

This is not a joke
I had lovers, I had brains
And I'm going to lose them!


Don't Let Go Of the Latin Dream
I'll be free and flying through the sky

To stay alive
I'll be on in flight of fancy
Certain to survive

Don't Let Go Of the Latin Dream
I'll be tearing down a river
Ready for a fight

Or I'll turn myself into the light
Racing the clock bay by bay
I'm not going to give my life away


You think you're special, think you're smart?
Well I've got news for you, and guess what senorita?

There is no hiding in your brain, we all had dreams and lost them to the world.

Don't Let Go Of the Latin Dream

I'll be free and flying through the sky
To stay alive
I'll be in a flight of fancy

Certain to survive
Don't Let Go Of the Latin Dream
You might think it's useless to pretend

You're free of time
But nothing is certain in the end
Racing the clock bay by bay

I'm not going to give my life away
