  • 作词 : Simon, Walcott
    Sal
    I speak to you in jesus's name
    As jesus speaks through me,
    The evil we do can't be blamed upon our destiny
    I have walked through the valley of death-row to the shore
    I have stumbled through silvery water to my savior, my salvador!
    Salvador
    It took me four years to learn
    I was in prison not in church.
    And two more to begin the book of my soul's search.
    Sal & salvador
    Time is an ocean of endless tears
    Sal
    A wild boy from the streets of el barrio
    An orphan from the hills of mayag邦ez
    Salvador
    And when i wrote my story
    The words flew from the page
    And my soul in solitary
    Escaped its iron cage.
    Sal & salvador
    Time is an ocean of endless tears
    Sal
    Mama, i got your letter today
    The next time that you write i'll be transferred far away.
    I'm leaving greenhaven's towers of stone
    Where the latin population will soon be minus one.
    Salvador
    Time is an ocean of endless tears.
    Sal
    I know how hard it's been for you these many years,
    You say the aguinaldo makes you dream of home
    Where once we strolled the beach at el malecon
    Go back don't you worry, i am your grown-up son.
    Salvador
    The politics of prison are a mirror of the street.
    The poor endure oppression
    The police control the state.
    Correctional facility
    That's what they call this place
    But look around and you will see
    The politics of race.
    Sal
    A forest and a prison
    Where the snow and guards are white
    Salvador
    If you want to keep your sanity
    You'll teach yourself to write.
    You were a child of sixteen
    With a twelve-year-old mind
    You came here numb and battered
    By the streets i left behind
    Sal
    I'll take the evil in me
    And turn it into good,
    Though all your institutions
    Never thought i could
    So now i'll turn to say goodbye
    Salvador
    I'll keep your image in my eye
    Sal & salvador
    I turn around to say goodbye
    Salvador
    I'll keep your image with me till the day i die
    Sal & salvador
