Así Es La Vida

Having a coffee and the horizon deep
I thought, how many times have I hit rock bottom
How many times from those paradises where I hide
I returned to my rocky areas like a condor

I talk to myself and it always hurts, no variations
I miss people, life is not the same as before
The present is so fast and bewildering
That sometimes I look to the past and stop some moments

I believed many things, not so much now
Loves that were taken away by the tides of my tears
Sips of bitter disappointments cured my fear
Now I see the demon even when disguised as a saint

Many promises unfulfilled
Many illusions trampled, my wounds are not yet closed
Many mazes with no way out
Many broken early mornings sitting on the curb of the avenue

It made me a winner so many defeats
Like the late Polo, in love I was an idiot
But I understood that everything passes and the soul wears out
And that no one treats my heart like a pet

My tears of naivety came back
Like when you rewind and another being formed in me
I floated through the voids, don't ask for an explanation
I can only tell you: That's life

And even if my cross lacks nails
Man, how beautiful life is
How strong and miraculous is that light
That keeps my soul alive

Many stories that came to an end
Many mean people, many dead flowers in my garden
No one taught me, the street was more than a corner
I had to lose the fear falling off the diving board

Mistakes that turned into experience in my youth
Made me seek the most vital with faith and in fullness
Remember when you're going to judge a human being
Never do it by their clothes, but by their attitude
The day you look into the void with broken dreams
Maybe you can learn to love the air you breathe
Live what touches you, feel with your being before it expires
Life is not a gum, it's not impossible to stretch it

I was blind and with my dead joys
From insomnia to insomnia, the mind always alert
Putting my courage on offer without reasons
And I felt the consequences later knocking on my door

I consumed illegal substances for a while
I enslaved my spirit and my temples
Now I am free thanks to willpower and I am an example
That you can leave everything, everything is inside

My tears of naivety came back
Like when you rewind and another being formed in me
I floated through the voids, don't ask for an explanation
I can only tell you: That's life

And even if my cross lacks nails
Man, how beautiful life is
How strong and miraculous is that light
That keeps my soul alive
