Final Del Camino

He tried to breathe
Lying on the ground
And his chest kept bleeding
And he thought of his family
His eyes closed
And his journey had come to an end

Tell me now son why don't you love me
I always prayed for you to change
How it hurts to see you in that box
Get up, talk to me
That's the path you've chosen
I always loved you, you were my son
And with this kiss I bid you farewell
I always loved you, I loved you

On San Jorge Street
There was a shooting around 11
Six men got out
Of a black Hummer
And the whole neighborhood hides
And my phone rang
They're going to kill your brother
And I ran as fast as I could but it was already too late

And I arrived and found him bleeding
Still breathing but unable to move
He wanted to tell me something but it was impossible
And I have that sad face so engraved
Brother, it was my fault for not being on time
I wish I had arrived before this moment
How it hurts to see you now dying
I wish I could take your place

And now I feel so guilty
Because I was the one who introduced you to the street
As the older brother I became your father
When the one we had left my mother
And now how will I tell her you're not here
That you won't come back home
That her youngest son has passed into eternity

Tell me now son why don't you love me
I always prayed for you to change
How it hurts to see you in that box
Get up, talk to me
That's the path you've chosen
I always loved you, you were my son
And with this kiss I bid you farewell
I always loved you, I loved you

And I got home
And I looked at his body
And I promised his picture that I will avenge
I was out of control and started drinking
And I became more violent until I went crazy
Mom, stop praying for me
Can't you see that God doesn't exist, there's no one here
Where was he when I saw you suffer
Where was he when you were left alone here
Why didn't he do anything when my brother was agonizing
Why didn't an angel come to protect him
If he really loved me as you say
Everything would be fine and it would be a different story

Forgive me, I don't know what I'm saying
Sometimes I think I'm losing my mind
I wish I could start over
Like a child, dad and I playing hide and seek
And you in the kitchen preparing something delicious
Perfect home without drugs or violence
Dad doesn't yell at you anymore, dad doesn't hit you
And you have an abundance of love, you have the best
And then my younger brother arrived

And like a good boy he grew up
And nothing ever happened to him
And today he's a pilot as he dreamed
And may his life never be harmed
By the path I made him choose

Tell me now son why don't you love me
I always prayed for you to change
How it hurts to see you in that box
Get up, talk to me
That's the path you've chosen
I always loved you, you were my son
And with this kiss I bid you farewell
I always loved you, I loved you

And I cried nonstop
As I realized
That my life was going nowhere
And I looked in the mirror
And felt the emptiness
Knowing that only God can fill
