  • Pride

     The wind murmurs in the tree
     and it curls the sea
     the lights of the town so far away
     shine on and on from day to day.
    
     On a dark December morning
     long before the sun is dawning
     I try to get up high
     I try to reach the sky.
    
     Her laughter in the empty room
     introduces old men's doom
     when they try to walk on water
     they will meet there heaven's porter.
    
     The cry echoes through the street
     through the trampling feet
     the scene of horror fills up the air
     and there's her laughter from nowhere.
    
     On a sunny July morning
     the sun is up but I'm still yawning
     I try to get up high
     I try to reach the sky.
    
     With angels pure and bright with joy
     rules the sky a worshipped boy
     her we are almost forsaken
     with all our pride of steps we've taken. 
  • HERE I GO AGAIN

    Here I go again
     And I leave behind a woman in a darkened room
     Too many oaths have been burdened on me
     The slavery of souls in a struggle flesh to flesh
     Has come to an end tonight
     The unison of our minds is disturbed
     The greedy vultures sitting on our roof
     Are urging us to feed them with broken vows
     The rays of beauty are diffused
     From the smoke we made
     Another illusion is buried in the back-yard.
     
     
     Here I go again
     The woods are burning on this sacred ground
     The company of heroes failed at last
     Che Guevara's spirit left us standing bare
     Our hands are counting now
     The metal that invaded our pure thoughts
     And our prison now has golden bars
     The ambush is purely intellectual
     And sophisticated phrases replaced our guns
     We are back in the arms of our fathers
     And another illusion is buried in the back-yard.
     
     
     Here I go again
     Picking flowers, singing songs and biding time
     I am back in the rain.
