Por La Gracia De Dios Lyrics English Translation by Mon Laferte
There are planes full of dreams taking off at dawn
Over the skin of sleepless cities and their presidents
And long highways hold the sun, and some AK-47s
The weight falls on the same backs as always
It’s in the name of the law
It’s in the name of faith
By the grace of God
There are whole futures crossing the night, riding the beast
There are shop windows promising comfort on the big avenues
There’s a desert blooming with flowers way out at the end of the world
There are women condemned for defending their lives, ah
It’s in the name of the law
It’s in the name of faith
It’s in the name of the law
It’s in the name of faith
By the grace of God
The grace of God
