The Problem

We could use a riverPodríamos usar un río

To carry us awayPara llevarnos lejos

and wash our dirty facesY lavar nuestras caras sucias

We could use an oceanPodríamos usar un océano

Both of us could floatLos dos podríamos flotar

Through the shallow waterA través del agua poco profunda

The problem is clearEl problema es claro

And this time it's unresolvableY esta vez es irresoluble

The problem is allEl problema es todo

UndeniableInnegable

Out of controlFuera de control

And no one says "I'm sorry"Y nadie dice 'lo siento'

We could use a prophetPodríamos usar un profeta

To tell us how it goesPara decirnos cómo va

And pull our bloody fingers from the roseY sacar nuestros dedos ensangrentados de la rosa

The problem is clearEl problema es claro

And this time it's undeniableY esta vez es innegable

The problem is allEl problema es todo

We could use a riverPodríamos usar un río

To carry us awayPara llevarnos lejos

And wash our dirty facesY lavar nuestras caras sucias
