Verse 1
I've carried boxes, silences, departures
Cities in my pockets, memories somewhere
Friends who make promises and are never seen again
So I'm slowly learning to walk without stopping
I've known the heat that drains you from the inside out
The nights when you transform your pain into songs, into colors
And even when everything trembles, in the middle of moving
I still keep a living light inside
Chorus
Because I'm still here
Even tired, even sometimes voiceless
I transform the darkness into something beautiful
I make choruses with the weight on my back
And if life still jostles me
I turn sorrow into gold
I take the solitude, the wounds, the clamor
And I make songs out of them to dry my tears
Verse 2
I've lost homes, habits, landmarks
But there are still pieces of sunshine in my verses
Cats, glances, Names deep in my heart
And this desire to love despite all the hours
People often tell me "hang in there," but they don't always see
The invisible battles I carry every day
So I write to breathe, to stay standing nonetheless
Like a man piecing his life back together with poems
Bridge
I no longer want to chase after those who drift away
I want to keep close to me the souls who join me
And if tomorrow everything changes again
I'll pick up my guitar… and I'll continue on my path
Last chorus
Because I'm still here
With my scars and my faith
I transform darkness into something beautiful
I create choruses with the weight on my back
And perhaps at the end of the road
There will finally be a little peace in my hands
But in the meantime, I sing even louder
To prove to life… that I am alive first and foremost.
