El Niño Que Fui
Nelson John
The Child I Was
I was searching in my inner ark
The one that holds my memories
I was looking at the child I was
The one who daydreamed
The hustle and bustle of life brought me here
Running so much, I never saw
That the child I was was crying
Who always spoke to me and I never heard
Where have the dreams gone?
On what path did I lose them?
Who has closed the doors
That lead me to my garden?
Where have the dreams gone?
I ask the child I was
Perhaps he has the key
To the chest I can't open
I was searching in my inner child
In a corner, I found him
Running to embrace me
He arrived and said to me
Why did you distance yourself from me?
I ask for forgiveness, I replied
I was trying to escape
From being what everyone wanted from me
Thus forgetting who I was
Where have the dreams gone?
On what path did I lose them?
Who has closed the doors
That lead me to my garden?
Where have the dreams gone?
I ask the child I was
Perhaps he has the key
To the chest I can't open
Where have the dreams gone?
On what path did I lose them?
Who has closed the doors
That lead me to my garden?
Where have the dreams gone?
I ask the child I was
Perhaps he has the key
To the chest I can't open
