La Flor

Go out on the street
And raise your hand
Leave the door open because
We are brothers

Knowing you have a neighbor
Who offers help if you need it
Is like having a family
Maybe not by blood
But welcome

Reality from when we were kids
That used to be seen
But today it's not like that, no
You don't trust who you should trust

Now you hide
You'd better not greet
What happened?
Why does everyone doubt now?
To open up, to get to know each other better
Everyone stops
You prefer to close the door
And believe the danger is outside

So much love is needed
A new direction
Watering the plant
So the flower can grow
So much love is needed
A little ray of sunshine here
And start repairing
Each other's hearts

Repairing the heart
Repairing the heart

We stopped looking at each other
Looking into each other's eyes
Shame gets in the way
Between us

We left the truth
For deception
Guilt clouded us
We hurt each other
We left the path
For the sidewalk
Believing it would
Lead us to the goal

We are surprised today
But we sowed wrong
We reap fruit
That we cannot enjoy

Heartache
Split in two
Breaking another heart
That left behind what it learned
And forgot what it suffered

So much love is needed
A new direction
Watering the plant
So the flower can grow
So much love is needed
A little ray of sunshine here
Starting to repair
Each other's hearts

Starting to repair
Each other's hearts

Let's start
First in my walk
I need to refocus
My gaze on others
Stop looking back
Stop counting
Have the courage
To recognize
That I am an engine
That can ruin
Or can encourage
To rebuild
This city
That in every corner
I can sow
Seeds of peace
Then harvest
Fruits that
Fill with tranquility
A community that shines
And leaves the darkness
To guide those who come behind

So much love is needed
A new direction
Watering the plant
So the flower can grow
So much love is needed
A little ray of sunshine here
Starting to repair
Each other's hearts

Starting to repair
Each other's hearts

And start repairing
Each other's hearts
