No puedes explicar lo que te sucedió;
¿Donde dejaste tu franca visión?
Si quieres, hoy puedes decirle adiós
A esa traidora indecisión.
Busca un manantial claro y puro;
Bebe valor y recibe lucidez.
No tienes que quedarte en este valle oscuro;
Regresa al sendero fiable otra vez.
Peregrino perdido,
No te atormentes;
Si quieres volver,
Puedes volver.
Peregrino angustiado
Por lo que ya no sientes,
Libera tu alma;
Suelta esa carga.
Si quieres volver,
Puedes volver.
Tu agotado, ambivalente ser
Se desvanece entre la realidad
Y aquello que solamente puedes ver
En una fantasía sin claridad.
Temes que no podrás subir y volver;
Piensas que ya es muy tarde para tí.
Paso a paso, confiando, vas a comprender
Que todo comienza con creer y decir que sí.
Peregrino perdido,
No te atormentes;
Si quieres volver,
Puedes volver.
Peregrino angustiado
Por lo que ya no sientes,
Libera tu alma;
Suelta esa carga.
Si quieres volver,
Puedes volver.
Si crees que es muy difícil, ¿cómo lo lograrás?
Aunque parezca algo invencible,
Si no te atreves a hacerlo, ¿cómo comprenderás
Que sí puedes, que no es imposible?
Peregrino perdido,
No te atormentes;
Si quieres volver,
Puedes volver.
Peregrino angustiado
Por lo que ya no sientes,
Libera tu alma;
Suelta esa carga.
Si quieres volver,
Puedes volver.

Hide and Seek
What if I find I just can't separate
My thinking from this hard day's droning drum?
What if I cannot surrender and wait,
And the answers I'm after never come?
What if the words I am trying to say
Suddenly feel like hard clay I can't shape?
What if my thoughts drift and wander away,
Back to those things I have tried to escape?
Sometimes I'm just not sure I'm getting through.
I don't know how to listen, but I'd like to hear you speak.
What is this thing called prayer? What should I do?
All I can do is hope you will find me when I hide and seek.
What if I choose to relinquish the weight
That encumbers me, and simply unwind?
What if I forfeit the inner debate
For a while, and slowly quiet my mind?
What if I cry out for help? Will you hear?
Am I alone, or am I in your care?
What if I find I have nothing to fear?
Can I find true peace of mind in a prayer?
Sometimes I'm just not sure I'm getting through.
I don't know how to listen, but I'd like to hear you speak.
What is this thing called prayer? What should I do?
All I can do is hope you will find me when I hide and seek.
What is the antidote
For a tired, troubled mind;
A weary heart; and sleepy eyes?
What do these doubts denote?
How does one even find
The truth amidst a world of lies?
Sometimes I'm just not sure I'm getting through.
I don't know how to listen, but I'd like to hear you speak.
What is this thing called prayer? What should I do?
All I can do is hope you will find me when I hide and seek.
