An ongoing work that took some time. To tell the story of fathers and sons but maybe of mothers and daughters too. Yet it could be about any of us who try to understand how we can become one with each other and walk hand in hand. It’s about not letting moments past and telling someone how you really feel about them. It’s about letting go of all the inner turmoil and the “fight to make it right” that we inevitably take to each other. It’s about acceptance and finding the words that your heart really wants to say.

 Un trabajo continuo que tomó algo de tiempo. Para contar la historia de padres e hijos, pero quizás también de madres e hijas. Sin embargo, podría tratarse de cualquiera de nosotros que intente comprender cómo podemos llegar a ser uno con el otro y caminar de la mano. Se trata de no dejar pasar momentos y decirle a alguien lo que realmente sientes por ellos. Se trata de dejar de lado toda la agitación interna y la “lucha para hacer las cosas bien” que inevitablemente nos enfrentamos. Se trata de aceptar y encontrar las palabras que tu corazón realmente quiere decir.

What was left unsaid between us we couldn’t have known

What was left unsaid between us talked of the heart’s home

We missed our chance to find our way

We missed our chance to free us from our weight

 

What was left unsaid between us brought us further apart

What was left unsaid between us forgot about the heart

We spent a lifetime wondering about the why

And in the end, did we really try?

 

What was left unsaid between us was enough to fill the ages

What was left unsaid between us was the message of the sages

I was on the road to find out who I am

You were to tell me that I can

 

What was left unsaid between us was needed to bring us together

What was left unsaid between us were secrets whispered forever

This was the legacy of all mankind

Of fathers and sons and the truth they must find

 

Left unsaid and gone forever

Left unsaid the heart longing forever

Now in my dreams I’ll tell you what I could not

Just to be with you and say what we did not

 

What was left unsaid between us were the winds of the past

What was left unsaid between us was a love that did not last

Life as it was given to us to live

Unable to change it, unable to give

 

What was left unsaid between us were the words inside of me

What was left unsaid between us was the longing of infinity

The heart knows what it wants to say,

Like voices in the night as light comes to the day

 

Left unsaid between us, the world knows not how to heal

Left unsaid between us, lost in pain and suffering so real

My breath filling me with such hope and love

That we might change and you could find your love

 

What was left unsaid between us weighs heavily on me not

What was left unsaid between us is not that I forgot

For now, I talk to you in words that are silent and no longer need hide

My heart a river flowing unendingly to where you reside

 

Left unsaid or waiting until the heart opens for all to see

Like the breeze amidst the trees, the wind upon the sea

A lifetime in this learning how to be

Breaking down the walls so the heart can be free
