Luna Vexa - Borderline Tender Lyrics

[Intro]
Papá's whispers echo through time
Between the lines of these old pages I find
Your untold stories, your sacrifice divine
Now I speak them into life, make them mine

[Verse 1]
Cruzando fronteras with degrees in your hand
But they didn't mean shit in this promised land
Teaching turned to cleaning, pride swallowed whole
While mamá kept saying "tranquila, that's how it goes"
Found your journals hidden in the mountain air
Ink-stained dreams that you didn't dare to share
Now I understand why you couldn't sleep at night
Working two jobs just to keep our future bright

[Chorus]
No papers gonna tell me who I am
No system gonna break this girl's plan
Baila con el dolor, turn it into strength
This is how we rise, this is how we break

[Verse 2]
Abuela warned me 'bout leaving home behind
"Money ain't worth the peace you leave behind"
But you knew better, saw further than the rest
Now your daughter's living proof that we're blessed
Entre dos mundos, dancing on the wire
Your silent struggles fuel my inner fire
Every beat I make, every song I write
Carries fragments of your midnight flight

[Bridge]
They tried to erase us, push us to the side
But our blood runs deeper than their lies
Your education couldn't cross the line
But your wisdom, papi, helps me shine

[Chorus]
No papers gonna tell me who I am
No system gonna break this girl's plan
Baila con el dolor, turn it into strength
This is how we rise, this is how we break

[Outro]
Now I'm speaking for the ones who couldn't speak
For the dreams that got lost in the system's peak
Your story's safe with me, papá, I swear
Through this music, your truth, I'll always share
