Testo Time Is an Ocean - Marc Anthony feat. Rubén Blades
Testo della canzone Time Is an Ocean (Marc Anthony feat. Rubén Blades), tratta dall'album Songs From The Capeman
I speak to you in jesus' name
as jesus speaks through me,
the evil we do can't be blamed upon
our destiny
i have walked through the valley of death row
to the shore
i have stumbled through silvery waters to my saviour,
my salvador
It took me for years to learn
i was in prison not in church,
and two more to begin the book of my soul's search
Time is an ocean of endless tears
A wild boy from the streets of the barrio
the orphan form the hill of mayaguez
And when i wrote my story
the words flew from the page
and my soul in solitary
escaped its iron cage
Time is an ocean of endless tears
Mama, i got your letter today
the next time that you write i'll be transferred
far away,
i'm leaving green haven's towers of stone
where the latin population will soon be minus one.
Time is an ocean of endless tears
I know how hard it's been for you these many years,
you say the aguinaldo makes you dream of home
where once we strolled the beach at el malecon
go back don't you worry, i am your grown-up son.
The politics of prison are a mirror of the street
the poor endure oppression
the police control the state
correctional facility
that's what they call this place
but look around and you will see
a polity of race
a forest and a prison
where the snow and the guards are white
If you want to keep your sanity
you'll teach yourself to write.
You were a child of sixteen
with a twelve-year-old mind
you came here numb and battered
from the streets i left behind,
I'll take the evil in me
and turn it into good,
though all your institutions
never thought i could
so now i turn to say goodbye
I'll keep your image in my eye
I turned around to say goodbye
I'll keep your image with me till the day i die.
Time is an ocean of endless tears.on end this tears
