Lyrics Time Is an Ocean - Rubén Blades , Paul Simon , Marc Anthony
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!
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
y
salvador
Time
is
an
ocean
of
endless
tears
A
wild
boy
from
the
streets
of
El
Barrio
An
orphan
from
the
hills
of
Mayagьez
And
when
I
wrote
my
story
The
words
flew
from
the
page
And
my
soul
in
solitary
Escaped
its
iron
cage.
Time
is
an
ocean
of
endless
tears
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.
Time
is
an
ocean
of
endless
tears.
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.
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.
A
forest
and
a
prison
Where
the
snow
and
guards
are
white
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
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
I'll
keep
your
image
in
my
eye
I
turn
around
to
say
goodbye
I'll
keep
your
image
with
me
till
the
day
I
die
Time
is
an
ocean
of
endless
tears
