Mi Lugar

I felt my life crumble at times
I also felt my soul separate from my body
I wrote stories with no foundation
I said I was fine when I was dead inside

I felt what it’s like to be left behind
And not get a single damn hug when I needed it
I felt what it’s like to live in solitude
Or for peace to turn to war and bury us without mercy

And despite my age, my heart witnessed
How time passed, and no one was here with me
My mood turned regressive
Three lies, two deceits, one heartbreak, zero friends

We all know the damage is already done
And because of those people, I’ve felt worthless
And I promise you that if you entered my chest
You’d want to run away and escape as fast as you could

I was never the cutest in my class
Nor the funniest, nor the smartest
But I was the one who had the guts to stand up
And face the world, even if it felt too big

Now I boast about having a privilege
To do what I love, while it feels fulfilling
And the same kid who got bullied in school
Is the one today who gets thanked for his songs

Got a dream? Grow some balls and chase it
I had one, and I know I always did my best to achieve it
And even though I felt pain sometimes
Now there are people who see me as an idol

See how time puts everything in its place
Even if you can’t see it from the start?
I had the courage to escape this back and forth
And I learned to love myself before anyone else did

Today I take flight, I’m tired of walking
I lifted my feet off the ground, and started to soar
Have you seen, grandpa, how far I’m reaching?
I wish you could see all the things I’m achieving

I plan to keep going even if I bleed from my elbows
Those who know me, know what I mean
I do it for myself, I do it for you, I do it for everyone
For those who believe in me and for those who didn’t

For those who are here, for those who left
For those who will come, for those who never returned
For those who hate me, because they make me feel whole
For those who support me, because they know what I want

And I want to show others
That I can be happy but also
Music is enough for me to fly
Where I never thought I could reach

And I’m not going to argue with anyone anymore
Everyone knows where they should be
And I know well what my place is
And I swear I’m not leaving this spot

And I know well what my place is and I swear I’m not leaving
I don’t want to leave, I’m not planning to leave

I know well what my place is
And I know well what the end will be
I know well what it is and I’m not planning to leave
