La esencia de la infancia, ese espíritu dinámico que pertenece al ser humano es el que nos libera y nos liberará una y otra vez de las esclavitudes modernas, no pierdas tu alma infantil, no la sometas a la razón, no dejes que te atrapen.
lyrics
When I was only six years old my mama told me “I gave you a soul”.
If you feel unhappy she will be a good friend.
Treat her well and never forget: she doesn´t like be a slave.
I never gonna be your slave. Cause she doesn´t like.
I got a chilhood soul.
I got a black cat bone.
I got a mojo tooth.
I got the John the Conqueroo.
With my childhood soul.
I´m gonna make you girls.
Lead me by my hand.
I´ll show what´s a man. A man couldn´t be a slave.
Hey look baby here I am I´m a man.
I´m a man I´m a man.
I´m a free man I´m a free.
I´m a free man.
Free your soul!
