The earth is shaking, my love
we must hold our children in our arms
each one has his questions for God
It looks like a force from hell
that* no longer wants to stay under
it came up to swallow everything
with its mouth wide open
look into my eyes
and find me a future
and as soon as you’re done
try and tell me about it
walk through my eyes
through dust and debris
and if you can still find me
come and say hello, in your special way
our steps up to this point
the ruts we made in this place
even though it’s shaking, there’s still something that I can recognize
but oh, how it is shaking, my love
it must indulge its whim
irrespective of schools or churches
it answers to nobody
as for you, look into my eyes
and find me a future
and as soon as you’re done
try and tell me about it
walk through my eyes
through dust and debris
and if you can still find me
come and say hello, in your special way
the earth is shaking, my love
little by little we’ll be more awake
if we stick to each other we’ll be standing
a little better
you who need me
I who need you
each one with his own answers
provided by God
