Manchild lyrics

They would seek high they would seek low
Calling their manchild as the trouble did flow
There`s always somebody to watch over me
I`m never alone I wish they`d leave me be
Never alone, I`m never alone

I`m just a boy not long for this world
I`m called Nelsito and I`m thirteen years old
For nearly two decades this vendetta has raged
There are no men I`m the last in the chain
Last in the chain I`m manchild man

Marimba sing high marimba sing low
Marimba sing high as the cemetery grows
All have been wept for husbands, brothers, grandsons,
Nephews, cousins, uncles, fathers and sons

I walk in boots too big for me
The women do cry as they watch over me
I work at the altar I try to be good
But just like the others I`ll soon travel in wood
I try to be good manchild in wood

I wait for manhood I`m the manchild
