《Time Is an Ocean》歌词

[00:00:00] Time Is an Ocean - Ruben Blades (鲁本·布雷德斯)/Mark Anthony

[00:00:14] I speak to you in jesus's name

[00:00:18] As jesus speaks through me

[00:00:22] The evil we do can't be blamed upon our destiny

[00:00:30] I have walked through the valley of deathrow to the shore

[00:00:36] I have stumbled through silvery water to my savior my vador

[00:00:45] It took me four years to learn

[00:00:48] I was in prison not in church

[00:00:52] And two more to begin the book of my soul's search

[00:00:59] Time is an ocean of endless tears

[00:01:06] A wild boy from the streets of el barrio

[00:01:10] An orphan from the hills of mayagez

[00:01:14] And when i wrote my story

[00:01:16] The words flew from the page

[00:01:21] And my soul in solitary

[00:01:24] Escaped it's iron cage

[00:01:27] Time is an ocean of endless tears

[00:01:50] Mama i got your letter today

[00:01:57] The next time that you write i'll be transferred far away

[00:02:04] I'm leaving green haven's towers of stone

[00:02:11] Where the latin population will soon be minus one

[00:02:18] Time is an ocean of endless tears

[00:02:26] I know how hard it's been for you these many years

[00:02:33] You say the aguinaldo makes you dream of home

[00:02:40] Where once we strolled the beach at el malecon

[00:02:47] Go back don't you worry i am your grownup son

[00:03:08] The politics of prison are a mirror of the street

[00:03:16] The poor endure oppression

[00:03:19] The police control the state

[00:03:25] Correctional facility

[00:03:28] That's what they call this place

[00:03:31] But look around and you will see

[00:03:34] The politics of race

[00:03:38] A forest and a prison

[00:03:41] Where the snow and guards are white

[00:03:45] If you want to keep your sanity

[00:03:49] You'll teach yourself to write

[00:03:53] You were a child of sixteen

[00:03:56] With a twelve year old mind

[00:03:59] You came here numb and battered

[00:04:03] By the streets i left behind

[00:04:06] I'll take the evil in me

[00:04:10] And turn it into good

[00:04:14] Though all your institutions

[00:04:17] Never thought i could

[00:04:22] So now i'll turn to say goodbye

[00:04:29] I'll keep your image in my eye

[00:04:36] I turn around to say goodbye

[00:04:43] I'll keep your image with me till the day i die

[00:04:57] Time is an ocean of endless tears
