Cerca de Dios / Vuela Papalote
Manuel Bonilla
Near God / Fly Kite
Sometimes I get sad thinking
That there is only hypocrisy
And that in this world there is no sincerity
That there is only deceit and evil
I would like to fly from this world and go
Closer to God, every day
And in a deep sigh arrive
Closer to God and sing
Sometimes I wish to think that there is no evil
That everything is fantasy
But when I see so much hatred and evil
Then I start to cry
I would like to fly from this world and go
Closer to God, every day
And in a deep sigh arrive
Closer to God and sing
People seek peace in this fatal world
But what they need
Is to have Christ in their hearts
To be able to find it
I would like to fly from this world and go
Closer to God, every day
And in a deep sigh arrive
Closer to God and sing
Fly, kite, fly
Go far from this land
For there is only evil
Anger and falsehood, go far away from here
I wish to be an angel
And bring them the message
That Christ died and rose
To give them freedom
Jesus loves the children
Mexicans and Africans
He loves the Portuguese, loves the Japanese
He loves the Spanish as well
Fly, kite, fly
Go far from this land
For there is only evil
Anger and falsehood, go far away from here
