Fragile am I, made out of glass
Filament burning as long as it lasts
I give my light in a small cell
Here on the border between hope and hell
Fragile is he, asleep on the floor
Eleven years old, from El Salvador
Heartsick am I, they brought him here
Torn from his family, so small and scared
I'm keeping watch, from dusk till dawn
He cries for his mother, oh where has she gone
Fragile is he, asleep on the floor
Eleven years old, from El Salvador
Donde esta mi mama
Donde esta mi mama
Helpless am I, I'm just a light
If I had fists, I'd help him fight
If I had the power, I'd set him free
But my only power, is to help others see
Fragile is he, asleep on the floor
Eleven years old, from El Salvador
Donde esta mi mama, mi mama
Donde esta mi mama, mi mama
