Es Por Fe

Marcos Vidal's song 'Es Por Fe' delves into the profound theme of faith, particularly in the context of modern skepticism and the dismissal of spiritual beliefs. The lyrics open with a scene where 'gray brains,' likely a metaphor for those who are skeptical or scientific-minded, gather to challenge the concept of faith. This sets the stage for a discussion on the relevance and independence of God's existence from human belief or understanding.

The chorus of the song, 'No es por vista, es por fe' (It's not by sight, it's by faith), emphasizes that faith is not about what can be seen or felt physically, but a commitment that transcends sensory experience. This commitment is described as a role that one must uphold until the end, suggesting that faith requires perseverance and is not merely a source of pleasure or emotional fulfillment. The lyrics suggest that by focusing solely on God ('Y si le miras solo a él'), one can grasp the true reality, reinforcing the idea that faith provides a foundation and support ('Él te sostendrá') that is not dependent on empirical evidence.

The reference to the Cro-Magnon man, an early human, who if resurrected, would try to communicate and possibly teach a lesson, adds a layer of irony about humanity's progress. Despite advances in knowledge, humans often repeat past mistakes, and according to Vidal, only faith in the Son of God can truly liberate. This narrative critiques the modern reliance on empirical knowledge and highlights faith as a timeless and crucial element of human existence.
