Grandmother, Grandfather (Demo)

from Lola, Lolo EP by Julius Obregon, Jr.

lyrics

grandmother, grandfather
building a home
tell me what land haunts your dreams
do you dream of the countryside where you were born
or the land that lies o’er the sea?

grandmother, grandfather
raising your own
with a dozen of kids at your knee
boarded flight for a 12-hour ride
hoping someday they all could be free

grandmother, grandmother
tell us a tale
of the day when our mothers were born
you picked out their names like an alphabet game
seven girls, seven letters a piece

grandmother, grandfather
show me your hands
are they tired from holding the world?
and how could it be
to this day you still seem
to feel close as the day we met

Lolo and Lola
the names that you chose
from the day that your children had kids
isn’t it strange how I changed out your names
cause I thought that the syllables fit?

and isn’t it strange how we all changed our names
cause they told us the syllables fit.
