Time Is an Ocean - Ruben Blades (鲁本·布雷德斯)/Mark Anthony[00:00:00]

I speak to you in jesus's name[00:00:14]

As jesus speaks through me[00:00:18]

The evil we do can't be blamed upon our destiny[00:00:22]

I have walked through the valley of deathrow to the shore[00:00:30]

I have stumbled through silvery water to my savior my vador[00:00:37]

It took me four years to learn[00:00:45]

I was in prison not in church[00:00:48]

And two more to begin the book of my soul's search[00:00:52]

Time is an ocean of endless tears[00:00:59]

A wild boy from the streets of el barrio[00:01:06]

An orphan from the hills of mayagez[00:01:10]

And when i wrote my story[00:01:14]

The words flew from the page[00:01:16]

And my soul in solitary[00:01:21]

Escaped it's iron cage[00:01:24]

Time is an ocean of endless tears[00:01:27]

Mama i got your letter today[00:01:50]

The next time that you write i'll be transferred far away[00:01:57]

I'm leaving green haven's towers of stone[00:02:04]

Where the latin population will soon be minus one[00:02:11]

Time is an ocean of endless tears[00:02:18]

I know how hard it's been for you these many years[00:02:26]

You say the aguinaldo makes you dream of home[00:02:33]

Where once we strolled the beach at el malecon[00:02:40]

Go back don't you worry i am your grownup son[00:02:47]

The politics of prison are a mirror of the street[00:03:08]

The poor endure oppression[00:03:16]

The police control the state[00:03:19]

Correctional facility[00:03:25]

That's what they call this place[00:03:28]

But look around and you will see[00:03:31]

The politics of race[00:03:34]

A forest and a prison[00:03:38]

Where the snow and guards are white[00:03:41]

If you want to keep your sanity[00:03:45]

You'll teach yourself to write[00:03:49]

You were a child of sixteen[00:03:53]

With a twelve year old mind[00:03:56]

You came here numb and battered[00:03:59]

By the streets i left behind[00:04:03]

I'll take the evil in me[00:04:07]

And turn it into good[00:04:10]

Though all your institutions[00:04:14]

Never thought i could[00:04:17]

So now i'll turn to say goodbye[00:04:22]

I'll keep your image in my eye[00:04:29]

And turn it to say goodbye[00:04:36]

I'll keep your image with me till the day i die[00:04:43]

Time is an ocean of endless tears[00:04:57]
