God's Child (Baila Conmigo) Lyrics in English Selena , David Bryne

Picture a young girl drifting down a busy street, swaying to music no one else can hear. In “God’s Child (Baila Conmigo)” Selena and David Byrne paint that cinematic scene to explore innocence trying to survive in a chaotic world. English lines ask “Who leads her down this treacherous road?” while Spanish pleas—“Debes estar en la escuela”—reveal adults’ worry that life will swallow her too soon. The repeated invitation “Come dance with me” becomes both a protective hug and a dare to escape: when society fails to guide us, maybe rhythm can.

The song then widens its lens, mixing spiritual wonder with social critique. “God makes us dream, but won’t set us free.” We are all God’s children, stuck between lofty hopes and harsh reality, yet music offers a doorway to connection. By threading bilingual lyrics, the track celebrates cultural fusion and shared humanity; every “baila conmigo” reminds us that unity lives in a beat we might not fully hear yet can still follow together. In the end, the message is simple and profound: even on the toughest streets, dance—and the community it sparks—can keep our spirits from walking alone.
