Borrowed by this Place / Prestado por este Lugar


My soul was old
Before the cosmos
Heaved it first deep breath

I am lent to this time
Borrowed by this place
For but a fleeting moment
My purpose begins to unfold
So much to do
Before my next rest

A view originating in eternity
A perspective
Hidden far too long
Beneath deep regret
A voice to shake the world
But much softer than the rest
New wings that make me brave to fly
Leave behind my secluded nest

The Earth
From far above
A frustrating and beautiful place
Resisting golden love and peace
So close within our reach

I have walked battlefields
Both visible and held within
Seen brutal wounds
Hidden too deep
For most eyes to see
Held my hand to their slumped shoulder
Felt their warm tears on mine
Never once did I lie
When I told them
That one day
It would all be fine
The old saying is still true today
The best medicine is time



Mi alma estaba viejo
Antes del cosmos
La arrojó primera respiración profunda

Me presté a esta hora
Prestado por este lugar
Por sólo un momento fugaz
Mi propósito comienza a desarrollarse
Hay tanto que hacer
Antes de que mi siguiente descanso

Una vista originario de la eternidad
Una perspectiva
Ocultos demasiado tiempo
Debajo de profundo pesar
Una voz para sacudir el mundo
Pero mucho más suave que el resto
Nuevas alas que me hacen valiente para volar
Deja detrás de mi nido aislada

la Tierra
Desde muy por encima
Un lugar frustrante y hermosa
Resistir el amor de oro y la paz
Tan cerca a nuestro alcance

He caminado campos de batalla
Tanto visible y celebrarse dentro
Heridas brutales vistos
Ocultos demasiado profundo
Para la mayoría de ojos para ver
Celebrada la mano a su hombro caído
Felt sus cálidas lágrimas en los míos
Ni una sola vez me acuesto
Cuando les dije
Que un día
Todo estaría bien
El viejo refrán sigue siendo cierto hoy en día
La mejor medicina es el momento
