Contra corriente

Being honest in a world
Where the deceiver is always the greatest
Preserving the joy of forgiving without anger or resentment
Going the extra mile offering the other cheek
Holding onto each day what I've learned from my teacher

I know very well that I swim against the current in the dark night
I'll continue because I've drunk from the purest water source
On the cross, his death made me be born again
And taught me what I can be
Even at the cost of blood, I want to reach
Today I prefer to fight and I won't let myself be carried away

Being a guardian of my brother without expecting his love in return
Ignoring praise and examining my heart well
Being aware of the invisible and associating with the humble
Having faith and risking myself on the waters of the impossible
