I CAME ALONE

It represents a covenant with myself from the moment I comprehend that I have come into this world in this body that I inhabit, but which one day I will leave. Life is a thread that can break at any moment, so I understood the importance of making the most of every second and taking care of my garden: the outside that everyone sees and the inside where I live. - Natalia Laforcade.

Lyric Video

 
 

  • Into this world I came alone
    alone I am going to die
    When I walk I just breathe
    I perceive within me the bravery of my feet
    I follow within myself the brave steps of my feet.

    In this world I don’t understand war
    war from within me or from you
    Night falls, I turn out the light, and in the darkness
    I keep dreaming of being awake, being awake
    I keep dreaming of being awake, being awake.

    Although to the world I am invisible
    I feel the restless tide that dances under my skin
    And to the wind I deliver all my sorrows
    If I cry wildly I am a river until the dawn
    If I cry wildly I am a river until the dawn
    If I cry wildly I am a river until the dawn.

    Each day I am being born
    Each day I am departing
    To myself I cling to life
    To myself I cling to life
    To myself I cling to life
    To myself, to myself, to myself I cling to life
    To myself I cling to life.

    Into this world I came alone
    alone I am going to die
    Into this world I came alone
    I cling to life before I die
    I cling to life before I die.
