Santo

santo was his little brother
who always wore a smile
he went back home to mexico
what was supposed to be 
for just a little while

then one day not long ago 
we got the sad sad news
a woman driver
tore delfino,s family in two

he,ll never again be with his family
we,ll never again see him smile
cause santo,s up in heaven
no more on this earth to face trials

one day if we are lucky
we,ll see him again we pray
but here on earth we,re left behind 
we,ll never be the same
