Luz de Sombra

Shadow light
Do you want to cast a shadow or let the shadow cast you?
Be the hammer or be the bullet, what do you think?
Heat up the fire, give the river a drink?
Cradle the mother, feed the father?
Tell a story to the grandpa?
Make a dream come true or be the sleepless night?
Do you want to be the moon or do you want to be the sun?
The engine of the car that’s speeding or the driver?
Be the news or the newscast?
Be the cloud heavy with rain or the downpour?
In the negative darkness of the attitude
That’s why today I choose to be light.

Shadow light… what you do is what you are.
Shadow light… the word, the music, the instrument?
Shadow light… the arms of a mother?
Shadow light… from the hug, the feeling?
Shadow light… do you want to be the river's water?
Shadow light… the warmth of the fire?
Shadow light… the idea of something unknown
Shadow light... The hope of a lost people.

The urge to fly that comes from the cliff
In the words of the world of the "o", the hole
From the garden be the insect that pollinates
The perfection of your teeth when they’re a smile
The sixth finger of a hand
And the remedy that heals the healthy man.

Never be the candle that goes out in the dark
Nor a bounced check on payday
Neither the true lie, nor the deceptive caress
Nor ever the fly in your spiderweb
Be different, it amazes you
Be, be my light, shadow light.

Shadow light… what you do is what you are.
Shadow light… the word, the music, the instrument?
Shadow light… the arms of a mother?
Shadow light… from the hug, the feeling?
Shadow light… do you want to be the river's water?
Shadow light… the warmth of the fire?
Shadow light… the idea of something unknown
Shadow light... The hope of a lost people.

Eating Chinese food with a fork, wearing a hoodie to the office?
On the engagement day, stealing the ring?
Kissing the daughter in front of the father?
Staying sharp to cut with the knife?
Defending the castle walls from the cannons?
Scratching the cat, barking at the dog?
Digging your own grave at your own funeral?
Be the one who pushes the locomotive?
Tell the clock, hey you! What time is it?
On top of the feet, be the shadow
Is to be light, shadow light.

Shadow light… what you do is what you are.
Shadow light… the word, the music, the instrument?
Shadow light… the arms of a mother?
Shadow light… from the hug, the feeling?
Shadow light… do you want to be the river's water?
Shadow light… the warmth of the fire?
Shadow light… the idea of something unknown
Shadow light... The hope of a lost people.
