Time Is An Ocean – Marc Anthony (Letras)

I speak to you in Jesus s name
As Jesus speaks through me,
The evil we do can t be blamed upon our destiny
I have walked through the valley of death-row to the shore
I have stumbled through silvery water to my savior, my Salvador!

SALVADOR
It took me four years to learn
I was in prison not in church.
And two more to begin the book of my soul s search.

SAL y SALVADOR
Time is an ocean of endless tears

SAL
A wild boy from the streets of El Barrio
An orphan from the hills of Mayagez

SALVADOR
And when I wrote my story
The words flew from the page
And my soul in solitary
Escaped its iron cage.

SAL y SALVADOR
Time is an ocean of endless tears

SAL
Mama, I got your letter today
The next time that you write I ll be transferred far away.
I m leaving Greenhaven s towers of stone
Where the Latin population will soon be minus one.

SALVADOR
Time is an ocean of endless tears.

SAL
I know how hard it s been for you these many years,
You say the Aguinaldo makes you dream of home
Where once we strolled the beach at El Malecon
Go back don t you worry, I am your grown-up son.

SALVADOR
The politics of prison are a mirror of the street.
The poor endure oppression
The police control the state.

Correctional facility
That s what they call this place
But look around and you will see
The politics of race.

SAL
A forest and a prison
Where the snow and guards are white

SALVADOR
If you want to keep your sanity
You ll teach yourself to write.

You were a child of sixteen
With a twelve-year-old mind
You came here numb and batter
