(Written at the age of 17): Is the story of a person who grows in a difficult social environment and yet works hard to make progress in life and achieves it. The song reflects upon life and how its countless obstacles, depending on the decisions we make, can either help us become better persons or victims of our own bitterness and despair.

(Escrita a los 17 años): Es la historia de aquel que crece en un ambiente social muy difícil y aun así lucha por salir adelante y lo logra. La canción hace una reflexión sobre la vida y cómo sus innumerables dificultades, dependiendo de las decisiones que tomemos, pueden ayudarnos sea a mejorar cada vez más o a volvernos víctimas de nuestro propio dolor y desesperación.

In the pale dark night where winter
Was threatening with its cold, cold hands people’s health
Was heard a baby’s cry in her mother’s
Arms as she was moaning
Begging for food or money, thanking God for being alive

Meanwhile in the other side of the city
In the center of a warm home
Lived a man who always spent his
Money to comply with his inner voice
You’re a true success only if they admire you

More than often we just want to have it all
And yet we do not want to struggle at all
This way some end up living a life of scarcity
Achievement requires first to delve within

Chorus 1
It’s surprising how some people fight untiringly
But there are those in life who walk in the darkness
Those are the ones who stay behind
All problems as they appear in life
Just don’t give up
Transitory pain is part of it
To find unbreakable love in life
Is not easy but still not impossible

When the woman and man were small
They lived in the same neighborhood
It was a place where
Hungry faces were everywhere
If they needed something they would steal or kill for it

But with time the man
Made efforts to change his life entirely
And surely he did stop to steal
While acting upon his own dreams
Though the woman stayed attached to victimhood

She would spend it all to ease her sense of emptiness
Always looking for ways to distract her pain
Everything out there she took to numb her heart
Blindfolded she walked the streets of life

Chorus 2
It’s surprising how some people make it through all pain
And start to live a new life in which they see there is
No point more in living from pain
And whenever they fall again
It simply means to them
Who I am must stay behind for me
To keep on growing one must renounce
To all ideas now we think sustain our lives
