Se precisa de un sueño
Se precisa de un sueño
Que rompa el silencio de la noche,
Que caliente el frío de la madrugada
Quebrando el hielo que divide y mata,
Que se haga horizonte y nos invite a caminar.
Se precisa de un sueño
que no se haga pesadilla,
que a golpes de esperanza nos haga volar
a ese lugar perdido donde nadie ha respirado.
Un día cerraremos nuestros ojos
y nos despertaremos por dentro,
Cabalgaremos por la inmensidad insondable
de nuestros misterios.
Y allí en las mansiones ocultas del alma
nos daremos las manos
y nos descubriremos como hermanos.
¡Señor, precisamos de un sueño!
Permite que pronto podamos dormir,
para amanecer despiertos.
(Javier Pérez Pérez, Fraternidad de Iglesias Bautistas de Cuba)
A dream is needed
A dream is needed
To break the silence of the night,
To warm the cold of the night
Breaking the ice that divides and kill,
And create a horizon that invites us to walk.
To break the silence of the night,
To warm the cold of the night
Breaking the ice that divides and kill,
And create a horizon that invites us to walk.
A dream is needed
that does not become a nightmare
and with strokes of hope it makes us fly
to this place where no one has breathed yet.

One day we will close our eyes
we will wake up inside,
and we will ride through the vast unfathomable
of our mysteries.

and we will ride through the vast unfathomable

And there, in the hidden mansions of our soul
we will hold each others hands
and discover ourselves as brothers and sisters.

Lord, A dream is needed!
Allows us to sleep soon,
and greet the morning fully awaken.
