[@bobdinger83]

PIRAGUA GUY: Sigue andando el camino por toda su vida Respira NINA: Breathe COMMUNITY: Y si pierdes mis huellas que dios te bendiga Respira NINA: This is my street I smile at the faces I've known all my life They regard me with pride And everyone's sweet They say, "You're going places!" So how can I say that while I was away, I had so much to hide! Hey guys, it's me! The biggest disappointment you know The kid couldn't hack it, she's back and she's walkin real slow Welcome home Just breathe COMMUNITY: Sigue andando el camino por toda su vida. Respira NINA: Just breathe COMMUNITY: Y si pierdes mis huellas que dios te bendiga. Respira NINA: As the radio plays old forgotten boleros I think of the days when this city was mine I remember the praise Ay, te adoro, te quiero The neighborhood waved, and said Nina, be brave, and you're gonna be fine And maybe it's me, But it all seems like lifetimes ago. So what do I say to these faces that I used to know? "Hey, I'm home?" LADY: Mira, Nina NINA: Hey LADY/COMMUNITY: No me preocupo por ella NINA: They're not worried about me COMMUNITY: Mira, alli esta nuestra estrella NINA: They are all counting on me to succeed I am the one who made it out The one who always made the grade But maybe I should've just stayed home... When I was a child I stayed wide awake, climbed to the highest place, on every fire escape, restless to climb COMMUNITY: (underneath Nina (above)) Ella si da la talla COMMUNITY: Repira NINA: I got every scholarship Saved every dollar The first to go to college How do I tell them why I'm coming back home With my eyes on the horizon Just me and the GWB, Asking 'Gee Nina, what'll you be?' Straighten the spine Smile for the neighbors Everything's fine Everything's cool The standard reply "Lots of tests, lots of papers" Smile, wave goodbye And pray to the sky, Oh, God And what will my parents say? COMMUNITY: Nina NINA: Can I go in there and say COMMUNITY: Nina NINA: "I know that I'm letting you down..." ABUELA CLAUDIA: Nina NINA: Just breathe...
