Description
Another project for my English class, this song is inspired by The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros. I even use some of her words in the bridge, just so you know. We had a book report this month, and one of our options was to write a song and present it to the class, so I figured I'd try it out.
I'm really happy with how it came out, seeing as how it's my first real song with vocals and my first song that's over two minutes long! Quite a feat, I suppose.

Lyrics
We can remember where we've been
But we don't know where we'll be
Loomis, Keeler, Paulina Street
We move so easily
Chorus:
A place where we can hide
A house with stairs inside
A place where we can rest our feet
Maybe a house on Mango Street
We can ride our bikes in the morning
We'll share the bike three ways
Then we'll say, "Hey," to Rafaela
Who's locked inside 'till the end of days
Chorus
Bridge:
"One day I will pack my bags of books and paper.
One day I will say goodbye to Mango.
I am too strong for her to keep me here forever.
One day I will go away."
I'm tired of being a red balloon
Tacked down to the floor
I wanna see new places, and see new faces
And open up new doors
Chorus 2:
A place where we can hide
A house with stairs inside
A place where we can rest our feet
Far away from Mango Street
Chorus 2
But we don't know where we'll be
Loomis, Keeler, Paulina Street
We move so easily
Chorus:
A place where we can hide
A house with stairs inside
A place where we can rest our feet
Maybe a house on Mango Street
We can ride our bikes in the morning
We'll share the bike three ways
Then we'll say, "Hey," to Rafaela
Who's locked inside 'till the end of days
Chorus

I wanna see new places, and see new faces
And open up new doors
Chorus 2:
A place where we can hide
A house with stairs inside
A place where we can rest our feet
Far away from Mango Street
