Fall
What if the highest destinationOf any given human lifeWas not a place that you could reach ifYou had to climbWasn't up above like heavenSo no need to fly at allWhat if to reach the highest placeYou had to fallFall, like a drunkard on your faceLike a parachuter jumping from a planeFall, like an astronaut from spaceOr an acrobat from making a mistakeAnd what if all the sagesTalking about realms out of reachWould memorize the pagesOf gravityWhat if getting to the highest place isLike learning what you knowOr like going to where you are nowLike coming homeFall, like Adam falling downFrom the strange, unearthly angels whence he cameFall, finding a way of trusting in the groundLetras de cancionesAs if the highest and the lowest placesAre the sameWhat if the highest destinationWasn't up above at allWhat if, to reach the highest placeYou had to fallWhat if you had to fall
