lyrics

5. Santuarios
Sanctuaries
(complete version)

6. sanctuaries

a candle goes out
the smoke lifts to the heavens
in my memory
i will light it again
with my own eyes, witness
so many processions
of towns and of histories

there is more than enough bread
no misunderstandings
a light, a mantle, rose petals
and two beautiful birds
pass by to see
god's emissary
owner of his artistry

centenary dust
you know the feet
and to the visitor
you offer sanctuary/
plaza, the ordinary
today it is sacred
and the visionaries
see a world upside down/
a sea of hats
noisy children
headscarves, shawls
1-2-3/
long live faith
and happy times
and to all who celebrate
the sacredness of being

i come from the dream
of not owning anything/
sun, moon and firewood
have been my home/
being that which is distant
free and errant
making the road...

i come from the dream
of not owning anything/
sun, moon and firewood
have been my home/
being that which is distant
free and errant
making the road by walking

i come from the dream
of not owning anything/
sun, moon and firewood
have been my home/
being that which is distant
free and errant
and being the road that is walked
