Behind the convent walls
There's a dream held dear
Sister Mary disguised as the wind
dreams and soars with it.
Sister Mary locked away
they took away her freedom
the sisters warned her with fright
falling in love is a sin,
chastity is virtue.
Father Aurelio told her
Sister Mary fold your wings
stay put my daughter
She said: I can't any longer father Aurelio
if light enters water
It forgets the sky
A determined woman in love
stills the air, the universe and reason
if light enters water, it forgets the sky
she goes with a dream held dear
Talking to her shadow
pretending she's with him
she blows a kiss and calls his name
honey on her lips
Sister Mary hopelessly in love
her heart burning
she's flooded with dreams and desire
ignoring it is unatural
for heavens sake don't judge me, Redeemer!
A determined woman in love
stills the air, the universe and reason
if light enters water, it forgets the sky
she goes with a dream held dear
Father Aurelio is seen fleeing
Sister Mary is fatal
they were caught in capital sin
and both were shot dead
hand in hand until the end
like trees who die upright
She dreamt herself
in the morning light
and the flag
kisses her belly and lips and feet
blushing her cheeks are ablaze
She died with a dream held dear
with a dream held dear
with a dream held dear
