Cimientos de Silencio

[Verse 1]
That new key felt cold, a foreign weight in my palm,
Til her quiet gaze met mine, a silent, sudden calm.
Remember the barrio's breath, the worn-out concrete maze?
Now wide windows spill light, through her disbelief's soft haze.

[Chorus]
The silence in these walls, a different kind of sound,
New cimientos laid, on hallowed, sacred ground.

[Verse 2]
Used to watch the rain carve rivers down our kitchen pane,
Now the roof is solid truth, washing away old pain.
Each tile a promise, each beam a future held tight,
A structure built from love, reclaimed from endless night.

[Chorus]
The silence in these walls, a different kind of sound,
New cimientos laid, on hallowed, sacred ground.

[Bridge]
No grand pronouncements, just the echo of her breath,
A legacy rebuilt, conquering past regret's slow death.
From crumbling facades, a matriarch’s foundation found.

[Outro]
Silence in these walls, a different sound.
New cimientos laid, sacred ground.
