Higher Up
And then
Suddenly here I am
I would have arrived
At the peak of my dream
How far away yesterday
And then
Higher up and even more up
Until touching god
And I ask him
Lord, why am I here
If I don't know love?!
A flower blooms even though no one will water it
While the proud eagle, in secret, will die
The poet is consumed by the memory of a poem
This hungry time consumes my joy
I sing and cry thinking that a man throws himself away
That an addict is just a sick person longing for the past
That a mother gives up and a child will not be born
That we could stay embraced in eternity
And then
I find you here
Punctual in your place
You spectator, do you really
Want me to live the dream that you dare not say out loud?!
This life slips away from you and you won't stop it
If someone smiles, never betray them
Hope is an ancient music
One more reason
You will sing and cry with me
Tell me, do you want to?
We will reveal to the enemy that little bit of loyalty
We will teach forgiveness to those who don't know how to forget
The fear you feel is the same as I do
You will sing and cry with me
My brother!!!
Higher up, higher up, higher up
And I will settle into the role that is now mine
As long as I believe in it, as long as I can do it
Higher up, higher up
Until I marry the blue
Until I feel that
Now you are a part of me
Higher up, higher up, higher up
