30 años sin el Rey (31)

No hay mejor forma posible de finiquitar este modesto homenaje al Rey que verle, tan guapo y bien peinado, con el traje cruzado del 68 Comeback e interpretando esta enormísima canción. La canción de la isla desierta. La canción que funciona cuando todo se derrumba a tu alrededor. La canción por la que Elvis Presley será recordado cuando la Tierra sea una colonia de alguna espongiforme civilización de Monoceros. La canción que únicamente Sam Cooke podía haber interpretado con tanta intensidad. La canción que, indudablemente, sonará en mi funeral.

There must be lights burning brighter somewhere

Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue

If I can dream of a better land

Where all my brothers walk hand in hand

Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true

There must be peace and understanding sometime

Strong winds of promise that will blow away

All the doubt and fear

If I can dream of a warmer sun

Where hope keeps shining on everyone

Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear

We're lost in a cloud

With too much rain

We're trapped in a world

That's troubled with pain

But as long as a man

Has the strength to dream

He can redeem his soul and fly

Deep in my heart there's a trembling question

Still I am sure that the answer gonna come somehow

Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle

And while I can think, while I can talk

While I can stand, while I can walk

While I can dream, please let my dream

Come true, right now

Let it come true right now
