La Libertad

All the time that passed
I spent it without breathing
as if I were trapped
under the sea
but still could think
and value life
I gathered so much courage
down here under the sea
And now that I come back up
seeing the light makes me suffer
I wonder if it won't be too much
No! This is nothing, my friend
this is small, compared to the awakening
that will come outside, I'm already outside
And now I'm afraid of so much freedom
All that blue sky and seeing so much freedom
has left me still
and finally I can cry
I slept for so long
unable to wake up
That silence was so dark
under the sea
but still I could dream
and imagine the street
I missed your joy so much
down there under the sea
and now that I come back up
seeing the light makes me suffer
I wonder if it won't be too much
No! This is nothing, my friend
This is small
compared to the awakening that will come
Outside, I'm already outside
And now I'm afraid of so much freedom
All that blue sky and seeing so much truth
has left me still and finally I can cry.
