I Am From

I am from the sea, from ocean view
From the crystal blue water
I am from the tangled seaweed, from the corals
From the waves and tides, from the splashes
I am from the rocks beneath and the sand so soft
From the different animals swimming in the sea
I am from the turtles swimming around
From the lost seas
I am from hot chips, from Takis
From the hot sun and dry deserts
I am from love, the warming hugs, and laughter
From red roses and big sunflowers
I am from fiestas and mariachis
From La Virgin de Guadalupe
I am from the spiciest food
I am from the Mexican traditions
