Dime Por qué (Mis Preguntas A Dios)

And tell me why
When I feel progress
There's always someone trying to bring me down

And tell me why
My progress brings joy to some
But torments others

And tell me why
When I want to fly
Opinions try to anchor me

Tell me why
My joy is surrounded
By murmuring

Is it that there's no joy in joy
That applause doesn't exist if it doesn't come
With double intention?

Is it that joy is lonely?
Can I rest
In the garden of your love?

And tell me why
There are moments when I feel
In dark solitude

And tell me why
Tears can't clean
The dust off my soul

Tell me why
There are whole days when I feel
So distant

Why do I so easily forget
That you're always there?
You're always there, embracing me, lifting me up

Is it that there's no joy in joy
That applause doesn't exist if it doesn't come
With double intention?

Is it that joy is lonely?
Can I rest
In the garden of your love?
Tell me why so much love
