De La Vida se Aprende
Alex Campos
From Life We Learn
Today the day began
and even though the sun didn't show up
I'll keep loving you
and if today I forgot
the color of the flowers
the scent of their smell
grab a colored pencil
draw over that blotch
hope and forgiveness
paint the cold in brown
put red on the heart
put white on the resentment
CHORUS
when the sky is cloudy
grab that eraser
erase all bitterness
paint the world in color
from life we learn
deleting the mistake in the drawing
from the flowers their aroma
the scent of their smell
from children their innocence
from the elderly their value
give wings to life
that vase
you are that flower
you are water that stirs
you are a letter in poetry
you are God's word
look closely in the mirror
His love that reflection
don't think it was a mistake
CHORUS
when the day ends
and the curtain falls
the show is over
the night becomes cold
the strength in me agonizes
the moon has already hidden
paint that poetry
in the sky a smile
put wings on the mattress
CHORUS(x2)
