[00:01.31]	This isn’t happening
[00:04.71]	Inútil! Useless
[00:11.40]	Just like my father was before me:
[00:15.80]	Inútil! Useless
[00:21.91]	And every day
[00:23.95]	He cut the cane
[00:25.39]	He came home late and prayed for rain
[00:29.11]	Prayed for rain
[00:32.67]	And on the days
[00:33.93]	When nothing came
[00:35.50]	My father’s face was lined with shame
[00:38.77]	He’d sit me down beside him and he’d say,
[00:43.71]	“My father was a farmer,
[00:46.15]	His father was a farmer,
[00:48.73]	And you will be a farmer.”
[00:51.30]	But I told him, “Papi, I’m sorry, I’m going farther.
[00:56.54]	I’m getting on a plane.
[00:59.50]	And I am gonna change the world someday!”
[01:02.39]	And he slapped my face
[01:05.30]	He stood there, staring at me, useless
[01:13.65]	Today my daughter’s home and I am… useless
[01:24.59]	And as a baby she amazed me with
[01:27.98]	The things she learned each day
[01:34.64]	She used to stay on the fire escape
[01:38.10]	While all the other kids would play
[01:42.54]	And I would stand beside her and I’d say:
[01:46.47]	“I’m proud to be your father
[01:48.75]	‘Cuz you work so much harder
[01:51.39]	And you are so much smarter
[01:53.93]	Than I was at your age.”
[01:56.71]	And I always knew that she would fly away
[02:01.73]	That she was gonna change the world someday
[02:09.55]	I will not be the reason
[02:14.81]	That my family can’t succeed
[02:19.32]	I will do what it takes
[02:24.60]	They’ll have everything they need
[02:29.16]	Or all my work, all my life
[02:33.95]	Everything I’ve sacrificed will have been useless

[00:01.31]	This isn' t happening
[00:04.71]	Inu til! Useless
[00:11.40]	Just like my father was before me:
[00:15.80]	Inu til! Useless
[00:21.91]	And every day
[00:23.95]	He cut the cane
[00:25.39]	He came home late and prayed for rain
[00:29.11]	Prayed for rain
[00:32.67]	And on the days
