A Carta

I was on the plane with you
And I no longer recognized the teenager that you created
Precise, intelligent, Moses of the people
I didn't know he was so sick

With all my strength, I fought to protect you
I argued with a lot of people in the hospital for you
I did things you'll never know about

I saw you bleed, I saw you suffer too much, so I don't melt
I was a barrier, I fought against death, I tried to understand

I'm sorry for not being here
Because I lost myself
I have your pain and my own to bear
For a while, until it passes
I need to tell you that I failed
I wasn't by your side because I bled
I didn't guide you, because I got lost
I couldn't comfort you, because I died too

You gave me the order to preach, I went
Gathering my strength, I went far beyond
More than I could to understand, to support
I preached, but that it was only because I loved you

I wanted a bed to lie down on
I didn't hand over the boy, I wanted to resurrect him
Accepting and understanding was more difficult for me, for you

Your pain is much greater, it's a mother's pain, I know
But respect my pain, because I am smaller than you
Smaller than you

What do you expect from me today?
Unfortunately, I cannot be
But wait a little longer and you will see
Everything I can be
My pieces, I took them more than I could
For you, what wouldn't I do?
My sister-friend, you will forever be my heart

I've already picked up my pieces
More than I could, for you, what wouldn't I do?
My sister-friend, you will forever be my heart

Everyone has their time under the Sun
And we will continue to be a beacon
What unites us is blood and pain
What unites us is love
