Yo Soy Un Barco
Willy Chirino
I Am a Ship
I sing because singing is good
and I dance because dancing is better
the world is nothing but a big theater
but I almost never close the curtain
I love because I like to love
I deceive when I am deceived
I work because there is no other way
but working makes me happy
I feel because feeling inspires me
I forget because why remember
loves that I cherished in life
but I couldn't anchor in any
I am a ship
and I have to sail
through the restless waters
of the wide sea
I am a cloud
and no one can tie me down
whoever tries goes up
and has to come down
I suffer because suffering teaches me
and I cry because crying does me good
after the novel ends
I laugh at what couldn't be
I dream because dreaming elevates me
and I stop when I can't go on
trying to figure out gets tangled
the fabric and thread of the future
I feel because feeling inspires me
I forget because why remember
loves that I cherished in life
but I couldn't anchor in any
I am a ship
and I have to sail
through the restless waters
of the wide sea
I am a cloud
and no one can tie me down
whoever tries goes up
and has to come down
(x2)
Chorus:
I am a ship
Inspirations:
that I have to sail
that I can never never stop
my ship will never sink
raise the sail that you won't ride anymore
in this ship I am the captain
I told you that I am a ship and I won't anchor
I am a ship
and I have to sail
through the restless waters
of the wide sea
I am a cloud
and no one can tie me down
whoever tries goes up
and has to come down
finally my ship is going to anchor
sailing
