Contracorriente
Lilly Goodman
Against the Current
They may give me
All the wealth of the sea
And all the goods in this world
They may promise me
To touch the sky and the moon
Carry in my purse coins of gold
Against the current I go
Honestly, that's how I go
With my eyes up
My feet on the ground
Little by little
Straight to the sky
I'm going, I'm going
I'm going, I'm going
The world cannot offer
What cannot be lost
I already have a ticket to eternal life
People cannot understand
When I say again and again
That I don't put my heart up for sale
Against the current I go
Honestly, that's how I go
With my eyes up
My feet on the ground
Little by little
Straight to the sky
I'm going, I'm going
I'm going, I'm going
I fight against the current
Until it suddenly disappears
I keep my eyes looking ahead
The world offers me what it cannot give me
But I don't believe it, it never tells the truth
It offers me money, turns, living a good life
But it has no place, my soul is hidden
In the one who multiplied the fish
And even though I fail and fail, His love remains
Against the current I go straight to the sky
Against the current I go
Against the current I go straight to the sky
Against the current I go
It's because we are not from this world
That's why we have a new course
