GALLERY
Welcome to my holy exhibition
of homeless children living in the street
the endless lines of tired and hungry beggars
and hoarders who have too much to eat
Me preguntan, creador hasta cuando
hasta cuando aguantarás el dolor
de ver a tu mundo trastornado
de escuchar tantos gritos de terror
As an artist I turn around the question
to those who have become my hands and feet
how much longer will you take to open up the gate
what will you do to meet my children’s needs?
I’m passing out the paintings in my gallery
choose the one that speaks a word to you
the painting will begin a transformation
feathered wings will rise above the zoo

Las balas de plomo se vuelven palomas, en esta galería de paz
Las balas de plomo se vuelven palomas, volamos a la libertad
