Por Eso Canto

That's Why I Sing

Por Eso Canto

I can't stay silent about what surrounds meno puedo callar aquello que me rodea
I can't ignore those who suffer a thousand pains,tampoco ignorar a los que sufren mil penas,
Singing just to sing makes no sense at allcantar por cantar no tiene ningun sentido
I want to sing because I feel a commitment,yo quiero cantar porque siento un compromiso,
I can't stay quiet knowing what's wrong,no puedo callar sabiendo lo que anda mal,
Changing my perspective out of fear of what they'll say,cambiar la mirada por temor al que diran,
Singing just to sing is repeating a thousand wordscantar por cantar es repetir mil palabras
Speaking while singing is talking to the soul,hablar al cantar es conversar con el alma,
