Prefiero Seguir Presente
Manuel Carrasco
I Prefer to Stay Present
We must move forward
To roll up our sleeves again
And do what we can
No one showed me the way
Amidst so much confusion
I've gotten it right sometimes
I have nothing prepared
Such a disaster in the past
I can't save myself in the present
I was never good at bouncing back
When everything goes wrong
Even the weakest
Is forced to become strong
I prefer to fall fighting, being brave
I already knew that even if you win, it's not enough
You can't be happy when they cry by your side
Sometimes you have to suffer
I don't understand myself
I prefer to dance with passion even if I don't know
The threads of the heart move my puppet
I can't and don't want to be what I'm not
I prefer to stay present
Wherever I go
I don't know how to grant miracles
And if they exist, they're very expensive
Anesthesia for the soul
I need you to tell me
Even if it's a lie
That it's true that it doesn't end
To the street of oblivion
I've moved and now I live
The words don't come out
Where is the future
That invites me to breathe
And winks at
This present that doesn't move forward
I prefer to fall fighting, being brave
I already knew that even if you win, it's not enough
You can't be happy when they cry by your side
Sometimes you have to suffer
I don't understand myself
I prefer to dance with passion even if I don't know
The threads of the heart move my puppet
I can't and don't want to be what I'm not
I prefer to stay present
Wherever I go
I prefer to decide
I prefer to wake up wanting to continue
I prefer to be present
I prefer to dance with passion even if I don't know
The threads of the heart move my puppet
I can't and don't want to be what I'm not
I prefer to stay present
Wherever I go
I prefer to stay present
Wherever I go
I prefer to stay present
Wherever I go
