Grito de socorro
Victorino Silva
Cry for Help
I can't stand this silence
Can't anyone hear my voice
My persistent cry for help in reality
Is the spokesperson of an anguish that suffocates my chest
And sometimes the only remedy is to cry
I can't even look at my reflection in the mirror
I can't lose my mind
I feel the need to reaffirm my feet on the ground
I belong to God and it's entirely inconceivable to talk about surrender
I see myself hitting my limit
Let my soul scream to release these chains
I break this silence once and for all
I need God to live
I never want
Anything else to come between us
Your name will always be on my lips
I will call on you and listen to Your voice
I never want
To be carried away by the waters of suffering
Your peace will always guide my steps
Your light will illuminate my life.
