El Coyote

Gustavo Zamora

 

El Norte
A land of opportunities, freedom, and life
To gain freedom, you must know El Coyote
El Coyote knows how to sneak around like a fox
Guiding through the desert finding water everywhere
El Coyote knows how to keep cool in the blazing Latino Heat
Finding shade under cactuses
El Coyote knows how to hide from the deadly birds
Whose eye view will never be beat
And the deadly pigs are the wildest in the desert
These pigs will ruin everything
Take everything away from you and leave you with nothing
Like El Coyote
