The Compass Rose

Everyone carries on them, the trace of their dreams
Who said that laughter, of so many young souls has to migrate?
Or that the blaze, of noble dreams no longer shine
Who said that we were defeated by forgetfulness, or that we were overcome by never?
Who says there are impossible paths to find?

Who says we always lose our anxieties, Panama continues
Who believes there's no way, to give their story a better ending?
Let's keep breathing, also for others
Because the cause is good, I never tire of trying

Hey, ah eh ay man, ah eh ah eh my land and man
Hey, ah eh ay man, ah eh ah eh my land and man

Who said that life can be shored up
By force of lies, stirring wounds and forgetting to love
How to erase distances without setting out?
Why assume that north is in the south and delirious?

Hey, ah eh ay man, ah eh ah eh my land and man
Hey, ah eh ay man, ah eh ah eh my land and man

I am from where the compass rose is born
It is battered by the gale, but it grows from within
I am from where the compass rose is born
It is battered by the gale, but it grows from within

The compass rose!
It is battered by the gale, but it grows from within
I am from where the compass rose is born
It is battered by the gale, but it grows from within
