Much Needed Advice
[Spoken: Ernesto de la Cruz]
I have to sing, I have to play!
The music, it's, it's not just in me it is me.
When life gets me down, I play my guitar.
The rest of the world may follow the rules, but I must follow my heart.
You know that feeling? Like there's a song in the air and it's playing just for you?
[Ernesto de la Cruz]
A feeling close you can reach out and touch it
I never knew I could want something so much, but it's true
[Spoken: Ernesto de la Cruz, Woman]
You must have faith, sister.
Oh, but Padre, he will never listen
He will listen to music.
[Ernesto de la Cruz]
Only a song, only a song, has the power to change a heart
[Spoken: Ernesto de la Cruz, Woman]
Never underestimate the power of music
But my father, he will never give me permission!
I am done asking permission. When you see your moment, you mustn't let it pass you by, you must seize it.
[Spoken: Ernesto de la Cruz, Interviewer]
Señor de la Cruz, what did it take for you to seize your moment?
I've had to have faith in my dream. No one was going to hand it to me, it was up to me reach for that dream, grab it tight...
[Spoken: Miguel & Ernesto de la Cruz]
...and make it come true.
