No Es Familia

Not Family

No Es Familia

What are we doing yelling in the houseQue hacemos gritando en la casa
All the time and at the same timeTodo el tiempo y al mismo tiempo
If when everyone talks, no one listensSi cuanto todos hablan nadie escucha
If when no one listens, we are aloneSi cuando nadie escucha estamos solos
What are we doing creating distanceQue hacemos creando distancia
In such a small spaceEn un espacio tan pequeño
That is only big if we are unitedQue solo es grande si estamos unidos
If there is no unity in what we haveSi no hay unidad lo que tenemos

It's not family if we don't forgive each other, it's not familyNo es familia si no nos perdonamos no es familia
If we can't stand each other, it's not familySi no nos soportamos no es familia
If we don't talk anymore, don't even look at each otherSi ya no conversamos ni siquiera nos miramos
It's not family without laughter, without hugs, it's not familyNo es familia sin risas sin abrazos no es familia
Each one on their own, it's not familyCada quien por su lado no es familia
If we don't meet, we just stumble upon each otherSi no nos encontramos tan solo nos tropezamos
Because this brief and shared spacePorque este espacio breve y compartido
For which the same God has chosen usPara el cual el mismo Dios nos ha elegido
Is only a family when we loveEs solo una familia cuando amamos

What are we doing wasting secondsQue hacemos perdiendo segundos
If our time is limitedSi nuestro tiempo esta contado
And with each moment, there is one less dayY a cada instante queda un día menos
To tell each other how much we lovePara decirnos cuanto nos amamos
What are we doing silencing the goodQue hacemos callando lo bueno
And publicizing the flawsY publicando los defectos
If roses don't have thornsQue si las rosas no tienen espinas
Then what we have is no longer a gardenPues ya no es un jardín lo que tenemos
