Where I'm From


Where I’m from

everyday is a different reality

 

Where I’m from

one night can be peaceful and the other may not

 

the moonlight shining down, peaking through the window curtains

you may hear the screams that send chills through every cell of your body

and in the silence of the night, you think that this world is a world without an ending or beginning

 

Where I’m from

cada noche el destino cambia

y cada dia vives el presente

 

Where I’m from

the sun sets the mood of everyday

and the moon set the mood of every night

 

a person making the most of everyday as if it were their very last

enjoying the company of what we call FAMILY

being great because that is their destiny

 

Where I’m from

it is a different day, a different reality

 

Where I’m from

many can become their own night and day

light or dark, maybe even both

Where I’m from

we have a chance to make us and the people around us better

let’s take that chance.

 

De donde soy

cada dia vives el destino

que ahora es el presente

después de cada noche , comienza un nuevo día

y vives el destino que te toco
