Cumbia Peninsula

(album: El Mirador - 2022)

It's easy to look for an enemy outside yourself
Pass the blame and pin it on somebody else
Wrap your heart in flowers and barbed wire
Love to watch your faith dance on the fire

Shine today like silver and gold
Light the way for tomorrow

Someone changed the locks outside
There's no place to run and hide
They got your number and all your names
When you signed it all away for a great escape

El tiempo que me queda
Es para lo que amo
Los tres lados de mi alma
Se me están resquebrajando
No se merecen mi aliento
Sus mentiras y sus cuentos
Yo sé que tú me escuchas
Yo sé que es nuestro momento

Some are searching their whole lives
Todos quieren encontrar

The letter becomes the subject twisted and torn
Truth is taken out back and beaten to a pulp
Your lips are tainted with toxic lies and worse
Counting on chaos for lifting the curse

Shine today like silver and gold
Light the way for tomorrow

Someone changed the locks outside
There's no place to run and hide
They got your number and all your names
When you signed it all away for a great escape

El tiempo que me queda
Es para lo que amo
Los tres lados de mi alma
Se me están resquebrajando
No se merecen mi aliento
Sus mentiras y sus cuentos
Yo sé que tú me escuchas
Yo sé que es nuestro momento

Some are searching their whole lives
Todos quieren encontrar

Shine today like silver and gold
Light the way for tomorrow
Shine today like silver and gold
Light the way for tomorrow
Shine today like silver and gold
Light the way for tomorrow
