Poor pedro

Find the song on the “Who IS this guy?” Album, Youtube and everywhere.

THIS is a deeply sad and true story. I met Pedro, his father and grandfather at a family gathering about 7 years ago. He was a really good kid. At that time, the bad things had not yet finished happening to him. I hope to hear someday that he is doing well.

        A   beautiful and       happy boy.              Why did she have to die?

His Grandmother then took hold      of his warm, little hand
“You’re ok now” she smiled.              Then, she too left this land

G                      Am                   C                      Dm
Poor Pedro,                               Life is not always kind 
F                      G                      A#                    E7
Dear Pedro,                                Please don’t be left behind?

His Father found love again.   With a woman with another son
Pedro didn’t fit her plan.          She had love for only one

Instrumental Verse

Father, Grampa and little boy.  All trying to find their way
Father failed. Chose suicide.    Made Pedro a stray

Chorus 

Will what doesn’t kill him    make Pedro strong?
Who is going to help him choose   what is right and what is wrong?
