Himno Nacional

The voices of the people are heard again
The voices of the people
The voices of the people
Of the people
The people
The people
Look forward, tell me how it is
Upon recognizing freedom
They teach us that peace is elegant
But we learn
That violence is convincing and misery devouring
That there are bills that can make a gun fire on its own
That poverty is also intellectual, hunger is cruel
And evil becomes chronic
You hear the voices of the people again
Look forward, tell me how it feels
The shouts of the people are heard again
Tell me what's behind, tell me how it is
Upon recognizing freedom
We learn that they censor us through words
Yours, theirs, mine
Turning war into a ritual and pain into a lie
Throw me the lifebuoy of stray bullets
Because the candles they put on us when we die
Won't bring us the light we lacked when we flew
You hear the voices of the people again
Look forward, tell me how it feels
You hear the shouts of the people again
Tell me what's behind, tell me how it is
Upon recognizing freedom
Almost touching freedom
Regaining freedom
Happy mornings will return
The time when we stop drowning in elevator conversations
Trying to hold onto an image that protects us from ourselves
While helping to maintain the balance of this play we call existence
No one warned about the bumps and falls
But still: one foot in front of the other
One foot in front of the other, defiant
No matter what the world says and how fierce the storm is
Don't let it drag you and sink you under the sand
Because if you can look beyond time and space
Beyond numbers, colors, and shapes
There's a moment when everything makes sense
And even fear disappears
In the background, among the shadows, the light has drawn a phrase
You are not alone in this world
