Sed de Mi Bandera

Time feels so short to me
the day feels long as I walk
so many stories, my eyes well up
not enough for my thirst or many others...
Pues I'm not what I was yesterday
but closer to what I'll be
singing I am, slowly making space
because I want to see her,
Behind the walls
that have been raised, there's something screaming at us

Thirst for something new
thirst for something different
thirst for a rising sun
that shows us the way
thirst for justice
thirst for belonging
desire for a flag that destroys the border

Because if I see it wrong
it sells me an eye and only protests come out
don't fool yourself..someone to talk to
find a loose screw and accompany me
because I'm just a link and sometimes the engine starts
that gives passion for a change and asks for air to breathe
because there's still so much lie, so much cowardice! that I would repeat...

what ignites me? what extinguishes me??
what pulls me down? and lifts me up??
what gives me strength and weakens me??
what kills me and gives me life?

thirst for what I want
thirst for what I have
thirst for a rising sun that shows us the path
thirst for justice
thirst for belonging
for a new moon that shows me that flag...
