Entre Líneas

I'm here again, staring at the ceiling
Thinking so many things lying here in my bed
Opening up my heart through my writing
I suspect my heart will have a thousand cracks

That will surely make me more predictable
And you’ll understand we’re not compatible
The magic of being human in its structure
Lies in the fact that EYES can be read

That’s why I prefer to listen to you
Give you my attention and OBSERVE you
It’s part of the path I’m now tracing
Once someone told me to make my steps count

There are numerous failures, what a mess
Of this heart that no one here can heal
They tried to change my stance
And to last, reason imposed a dictatorship

Today I understand it’s better to seek wisdom
Than to look for shelter in a thousand lips
Try to be the Sun for a friend
You should always be present in their days and struggles

Shine, even when the world turns dark
Because there will always be a tomorrow that you’ll light up, I assure you
Nothing you do here will be in vain
You’ll see that you’ll learn because learning is so human

And we are just a moment
A bunch of cells that die so constantly
That’s why I’m aware I’m not the same
My body ages and I take it with optimism

Since for all of us, an end will come
Then we’ll know if the spiritual exists
(I) want to believe the universe is just an egg
And that we’re all one and one will be born again

I know we won’t love each other
Nor will we be empathetic because we don’t understand it
Because until we understand: We are one
There will be ego and racism on this sphere

The same things that currently separate us
The world has wounds that time hasn’t healed
(I) think it’s normal to feel regret
Because learning arises and the courage not to give up

All that’s left is to enjoy this present
To be that memory in people’s minds
Maybe it won’t be part of forgetting
If in all I’ve lived, at least I’ve built something

I share what I’ve learned
Because they say those who have suffered the most here give advice
(I) can only tell you
To live carefully but do what you love before you leave

Because life is a journey
Appreciate the beauty that landscapes give us
I know inequality prevails in this world
The little I know, I spread it between these lines

I know we all have happiness
Even though humanity sometimes ignores it
Ah, we value price more than appreciation
We’re still divided and looked at with disdain

Brother, I dream of peace in this realm
Even if it sounds so utopian and far away
You, try to work like a craftsman
Starting without excuses by lending yourself a hand

I know you think what I say is absurd
That life lacks any meaning
Well, it’s up to you to give it a reason
And as long as you’re alive, don’t let anyone stop you
