Próxima Parada - Resilience lyrics

Sir, please, hear what I have to say
I know you’re busy, but I’ve come a long way
Now I’ve got somethin’ I gotta say
Sir, I’m standin’ i got my hands held empty
I’ve never given in, although it is tempting
Now I want you to listen to me
These past days were all closed doors
Please tell me that outside there’s more
‘Cause inside there’s nothin’ at all

I’m a blade of grass
That pushed it's way through the pavement
Forever I will grow forever I’ll be learnin’
I’ll reach out and grab this earth
Sideways and above
And if the sun ever fades on this sidewalk
Well, at least I’ve loved

Sir, I once found paradise and peace
She once kept me from fallin’ beneath
But in present time, this paradise is lost
Sir, it is now I only endure
My existence is all I live for
But one day this traveler will find more
A bag on my back and shoes on my feet
And all the people I’ll meet
I’ll climb those peaks that
Once brought me pain
