I come from Caracas

Verse 1

I come from Caracas, where the mountains touch the sky,

Where the streets were full of stories, where I learned to dream and try.

I had a little home there, I had people that I knew,

But life became so different, and I didn't know what to do.

The days were getting harder,

The nights were getting long,

I knew I had to leave behind

The place where I belonged.

With a suitcase full of memories

And hope inside my heart,

I said goodbye to Caracas,

And I made a brand-new start.

Chorus

I come from Caracas,

But now I'm on my way,

I crossed the ocean looking for

A brighter kind of day.

I left behind my yesterday,

But not the man I am,

I came to the United States

To build my life again.

I come from Caracas,

And I'm proud of where I've been,

A new city, a new language,

A new life to begin.

It wasn't easy at the start,

But I learned to carry on,

And little by little, step by step,

I found where I belong.

Verse 2

At first the streets felt strange to me,

The words were hard to say,

I missed the sound of Spanish

And the faces from back home each day.

I had to learn the little things,

To work and make my way,

Sometimes I felt like giving up,

But I kept going anyway.

I remember lonely mornings,

Wondering what would come,

But every new experience

Made me stronger than I'd been.

And somewhere in the struggle,

A door began to open wide,

I found a microphone and a song,

And music became my guide.

Chorus

I come from Caracas,

But now I'm on my way,

I crossed the ocean looking for

A brighter kind of day.

I left behind my yesterday,

But not the man I am,

I came to the United States

To build my life again.

I come from Caracas,

And I'm proud of where I've been,

A new city, a new language,

A new life to begin.

It wasn't easy at the start,

But I learned to carry on,

And little by little, step by step,

I found where I belong.

Bridge

Now I sing for people

Who were strangers yesterday,

And somehow they became my friends

Along the way.

We laugh, we share our stories,

We sing beneath the lights,

And when I hear them singing back,

I know that I'm alright.

I didn't lose my homeland,

It's living in my song.

Caracas is a part of me

Wherever I may go.

I brought its heart inside me,

I brought its dreams along,

And now I'm writing chapter two

With every single song.

Final Chorus

I come from Caracas,

But look at me today,

I found a new beginning

In a far and distant place.

I built a life from nothing,

I found a job I love,

I sing beneath the city lights

And thank the stars above.

I come from Caracas,

And I'll never hide my past,

The road was long and difficult,

But I made it here at last.

I've got friends around me now,

I've got dreams still in my heart,

And every time I sing this song,

I know this is my new start.

Outro

I come from Caracas...

That's where my story starts.

But this is my new journey,

This is where I play my part.

From Caracas to America,

I carried my dreams with me...

I come from Caracas,

And now I'm finally free.
