Como Una Flor

I held onto the foot of a god and my heart closed
I went to work in a sack and my heart closed
I moved to a house but I don't fit there
My shoes, the moon, and the sun don't fit

I held onto the foot of a god and my heart closed
I went to work in a sack and my heart closed
I moved to a house but I don't fit there
My shoes, the moon, and the sun don't fit

I tied a tie and my heart closed
It covered my whole chest hiding a pain
I tore off all my clothes and then naked
I took my heart in my hands and it opened like a flower
And it opened like a flower

I held onto the foot of a god and my heart closed
I went to work in a sack and my heart closed
I moved to a house but I don't fit there
My shoes, the moon, and the sun don't fit

I tied a tie and my heart closed
It covered my whole chest hiding a pain
I tore off all my clothes and then naked
I took my heart in my hands and it opened like a flower
And it opened like a flower

We are humans or machines
Animals or machines
We are humans or machines
The rain won't rust me

A flower tore through the street
Defying the gray inertia of hatred
A flower of mine and yours
Blooming brought life to the street
I am my own light

I took your heart in your hands
And it will open like a flower
And it will open like a flower
