"Puerto Rican Dreams" Lyrics

(spoken)
I know everyone has dreams
But this is dedicated to my Puerto Rican Nation
La realidad impiesa con un sueno
Sigan soniando
( Chorus )
Puerto Rican dreams of lots of money
Puerto Rican dreams of fancy cars
Puerto Rican dreams of great big houses
Puerto Rican Dreams reaching for stars
When I was young and was nobody
I didn't have a dime
My parents tried to take care of me
But there was just no time
Cause when you're poor you always worry
Where monies coming from
And all that you can really have are Puerto Rican dreams
( To Chorus )
My grandmother she took care of me

She gave me all her love
But I could never give her the things
That she was dreaming of
Cause when you're poor your always working
But still its not enough
So all that she could really have are Puerto Rican dreams
( To Chorus )
I spent my whole life chasing money
And everything I'd buy
Didn't have time to love my family
So life just passed us by
My parents they live far away now
And my grandmother died
Now that I'm rich I finally know there's
Some things money can't buy
But it is something deep inside us
That reaches for the sky
And that is why we'll always have
Puerto Rican dreams
( To Chorus )
