Dia De Los Muertos
With candles lit and shades drawn up
they dance into the square
Twirling skirts and gruesome masks
with all the night to share
They’ve come to honor loved ones
they’ve come to sing them home
So all the spirits can be at peace
so no one is ………alone
Up to the gravestones they shall pass
and go their merry way
The spirits rise to see their folks
to watch their bodies sway
And dance the welcome of this oh so holy night
until the darkness gives way to day
and we bask in morning’s light.
