as each man: abismo es altura

as each man has cried

from cradle to grave,

as each one is ruled by fear,

the heart in stones

we must be brave:

that when we tried

to see where we fail.

then we must go

and sit under a tree

talk to the leaves,

the falling sun,

breathe into ourself

we must leave

all prisons, cages, walls,

must walk and walk

until we sleep

we must pray

that all heaviness

goes with the wind,

must pray for peace.

as each man has cried

from cradle to grave,

we must be on our knees,

pray and be brave

when all hope is gone

in the winter of soul,

spring will come

even when we die.

to give, to take,

to be, to forget,

all is one:

now.
