[English]

Searching for a sign in the middle of nowhere

I exhausted my resources and it didn't work

Not knowing what to do, feeling this way

That my world has ended

...

So much pain my soul felt

Not knowing what to do, fear overwhelmed me

And a voice was heard

Calling my name, bringing me back to calm

And it tells me that everything will be alright

...

And it fills me with breath and faith

And I learned to sleep in the storm

Your love taught me to rest

And I convinced myself that there is no one else

Who can give me that peace

That only you provide

...

When the wind swept me away, and took everything

I felt so empty, so lacking in love

But I heard a voice

Calling my name, bringing me back to calm

And it tells me that everything will be alright

And it fills me with breath and faith

And I learned to sleep in the storm

Your love taught me to rest

And I convinced myself that there is no one else

Who can give me that peace

That only you provide

Fill me with you

I want more

More of your peace

And I learned to sleep in the storm

Your love taught me to rest

And I convinced myself that there is no one else

Who can give me that peace

That only you provide, oh-oh-uh

That only you provide

You give me peace

You give me peace, oh-oh, oh-oh

You give me freedom

You give me freedom

...

[Spanish]

Buscando una señal en medio de la nada

Agoté mis recursos y no funcionó

Sin saber qué hacer, sintiendo así

Que mi mundo terminó

Tanto dolor sentía mi alma

Sin saber qué hacer, me inundaba el temor

Y se escuchó una voz

Que mi nombre llamaba, devolviéndome la calma

Y me dice que todo estará bien

Y me infunde aliento y fe

Y aprendí a dormir en la tempestad

Tu amor me enseñó a descansar

Y me convencí que no hay nadie más

Que me pueda brindar esa paz

Que solo tú das

Cuando el viento me arrastró, y todo se llevó

Me sentí tan vacía, tan falta de amor

Mas escuché una voz

Que mi nombre llamaba, devolviéndome la calma

Y me dice que todo estará bien

Y me infunde aliento y fe

Y aprendí a dormir en la tempestad

Tu amor me enseñó a descansar

Y me convencí que no hay nadie más

Que me pueda brindar esa paz

Que solo tú das

Lléname de ti

Yo quiero más

Más de tu paz

Y aprendí a dormir en la tempestad

Tu amor me enseñó a descansar

Y me convencí que no hay nadie más

Que me pueda brindar esa paz

Que solo tú das, oh-oh-uh

Que solo tú das

Tú me das la paz

Tú me das la paz, oh-oh, oh-oh

Me das libertad

Me das libertad
