Saltwater Proverbs

[Verse 1]
Kitchen air thick with guava and grace,
Hear your voice like a wave, soft through this space.
Every hum a low tide, pulling me back near,
Whispers of wisdom, only my heart can truly hear.
Across the wide ocean, your memory so clear.

[Chorus]
Abuela's love, a deep blue current flows,
Wooden spoon in hand, teaching all I know.
Saltwater proverbs, whispered soft and low.

[Verse 2]
Taste of picadillo, sweet on my tongue,
Stories of the 'aina, where your spirit clung.
You taught me the moon's phases, how the reef turns to sand,
And the quiet resilience, passed down through your hand.
A legacy of kindness, carved across the land.

[Chorus]
Abuela's love, a deep blue current flows,
Wooden spoon in hand, teaching all I know.
Saltwater proverbs, whispered soft and low.

[Bridge]
Now I sail these wide waters, under a hidden crescent light,
Carrying your wisdom, through the long, lonely night.
A hybrid bloom, rooted deep, no matter where I roam,
My internal compass, always pointing home.

[Outro]
Still feel your rhythm, a constant tide's hum,
Guiding me onward, till my journey's done.
