Sarah McLachlan publicó en 2010 ‘Laws Of Illusion’, su último álbum de estudio y ahora la cantante vuelve, cuatro años después, presentando el lanzamiento del nuevo disco ‘Shine on’.
El single adelanto de su nuevo proyecto se titula ‘In your shoes’ y es una canción densa de significado: ha sido inspirada por la historia de la joven activista pakistaní Malala Yousafzai que fue victima de un atentado en 2013, modelo positivo y ejemplo para muchas mujeres de su país y de todo el mundo.
“Ella es simplemente una heroína” dijo Sarah, “En un mundo donde la mayor parte de los modelos son divos de la televisión, del cine y cantantes, creo sea importante hablar de otras personas que luchan cada día para los derechos de todos”.
A continuación, la letra de ‘In your shoes’:
You turn the radio on play your favorite song and cry… cry
You let it all disappear push back the doubt and fear they try… try
To hold your head under the waves but you’re breathing all the same
You are stronger than their hate
Time for you to walk out walk in your own shoes
Lay down your footprints wherever you choose
Leave it all behind and move on you are your own woman
You never asked for trouble but you’ve got fire that burns so bright… bright
You turn and face the struggle when all the others turn and hide… hide
You hold your head above the waves above the war they try to wage
You are stronger than their hate
Time for you to walk out walk in your own shoes
Lay down your footprints wherever you choose
Leave it all behind and move on ’cause you are your own woman
Time for you to walk out walk in your own shoes
Lay down your footprints wherever you choose
Leave it all behind and move on you are your own woman move on yeah
Time for you to walk out walk in your own shoes
Lay down your footprints wherever you choose
Say what’s on your mind with pride ‘cause you are your own woman
You’ve got a light that always guides you
You speak of hope and change as something good
Live your truth and know you’re not alone
You turn the radio on play your favorite song and sing out so loud
