What did we rise to life to?

Did you rise to life from isolation?
Did you rise to life from money?
Did you rise to life from sadness?
Did you rise to life from the plaintive complaint?
Do I still smell dead or did I rise to life?
Did I return to walk through justice paths?
Do I continue the same or did kindness beat me?
Did you rise to life in what is overcome?
Did you meet again with the forgotten and unaccepted?

What won: my determination or the faithful trust?

Change into something with somebody,
no big intentions
but humble dreams.
Although it seems nobody changes
renew the attempts
break the shackles of discouragement.

He rose to life, you rose to life,
raise everyday utopia,
stir your insides
resurrected and hesitant.

(Antonio Martinez)
