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, grandfathers, 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.
