El Tren de La Cordura
Vanesa Martín
The Train of Sanity
The last passenger of my train has been left outside
The last load of coal didn't reach the boiler
For being crazy, for being naive, for not valuing myself
And seeing the future alone and wandering in its response.
I will call the next station sanity
I will rely on it to clear my doubts.
Let's stop killing each other, let's stop hurting each other
You go your way, I'll go mine
If we can't avoid it.
Steady course and forward is what prevails now
Green light for the dreams that awaken
For being foolish, for not realizing how much I was gaining
And seeking refuge in their arms, knowing they didn't ease my pain.
In an old train car I found what I was looking for
An explosion of steam and amidst the smoke I screamed.
