Looking at her, you'd never know the scars and the sacrifice Always game to explore something new Love all the arts and the history behind it all Such a curious mind a good cook too

Got a mind like a trap - always quick to laugh And send back a witty reply Such a star A star trek junky Speedy cars Rock n'roll spunky Down the boulevard If u got a problem she can help Always so patient to find a solution

That's Marta

Was put to work too soon She knows what is like in the fields Carried that weight before fourteen Never complained despite the toll it take Summers were great cuz the book mobile came around

Fending off Fending off all of the haters And the phobias Of racism and gender She'll find the right words the right tools She'll tell you this much Suffering is the human condition

That's Marta

Silently suffer At the edge at the end Battlin cancer How'd you bear it how'd you mend? Never should have been you - goin' away Goin' away How the fuck - did it get to you? You said we'd leave this place together Together

You were Taken You were Taken too soon Taken You were You were You were Taken too soon You were Taken You were Taken too soon You were Taken You were You were You were Taken too soon
