A Carta

I was on the plane with you
And didn't recognize the teenager you were raising
Precise, intelligent, our Moses
I didn't know he was so sick

With all my strength, I fought to protect you
I fought with many people in the hospital for you
I did things you will never know

I saw you bleed, I saw you suffer too much not to melt
I was a barrier, fought against death, tried to understand

Forgive me for not being here
For getting lost in myself
I have your pain and mine to carry
For a while, until it passes
I need to tell you that I failed
I wasn't by your side because I bled
I didn't guide you, because I got lost
I didn't console you, because I also died

You gave me the order to preach, I went
Gathering my strength, I went far beyond
More than I could understand, endure
I preached, but that was only because I love You

I wanted a bed to lie down
I didn't deliver the boy, I wanted to resurrect him
Accepting and understanding was harder for me than for you

Your pain is much greater, it's a mother's pain, I know
But respect my pain, for I am smaller than you
Smaller than you

What you expect from me today
Unfortunately, I can't be
But wait a little longer and you will see
All that I can be
I took my pieces, more than I could
For you, what wouldn't I do!
My friend sister, you will always be in my heart

I took my pieces, more than I could
For you, what wouldn't I do!
My friend sister, you will always be in my heart

Everyone has a time under the sun
And we will continue to be a lighthouse
What unites us is blood and pain
What unites us is love
