[Intro]
La fe es el camino...

[Verse 1]
I drive this road alone, pero no estoy solo, my friend
Looking for a sign in the dark, before my journey ends
The world throws dust in my eyes, and I keep losing my way, you see
But Jesus walks beside me, holding my hand, setting me free.
They chase the gold and the fame, but that treasure doesn't last,
I hold the cross like a compass, moving away from my past.
This road is long, it is hard, but I call on His name,
He shields me from the fire, and He washes away the shame.

[Chorus]
I might never come back home, quizás jamás regrese home
But my final rest is prepared, en un lugar mejor, I'm known.
Bury me on a back road, con la cruz en mi mano, Señor
In a holy place where my soul is welcomed, by God's eternal glow.
'Cause I don't want nobody crying at my grave, solo oraciones al Creador, please don't be sad for me.
I need my Blessed Mother standing by my side, Her guidance I've claimed,
So bury me on a back road, where the wind sings my story,
With Jesus Christ guiding me, and Mary bringing me to glory.

[Verse 2]
When the shadows creep in close, and the enemy tries to bind me tight,
I see the gentle image of the Virgin Mary, a shining light.
Ella es la Estrella del Mar, protecting me from the storm,
She reminds me to trust her Son, keeping my spirit warm.
I carry her medalla close, a reminder of pure grace,
She taught me how to suffer, and how to finish this race.
The path I chose is tough, full of sacrifice and toil,
But my Mother's prayers lift me up, giving strength to the weary soil.

[Bridge]
Ave María, llena de gracia, escúchame.
Through the hardest journey, she prays for me.
Mother Mary holds me, leading me to the King.
Through the hardest journey, she prays for me.

[Verse 3]
So I'll keep pushing forward now, with my eyes fixed on the final prize,
The heavenly banquet waiting, beneath those eternal skies.
I ask for the strength of a soldier, and the heart of a gentle lamb,
To follow the divine Shepherd, guided by I Am That I Am.
I leave no instructions for a fancy marble stone,
Just the memory of faith, in the place where I roamed.
My life was not about the chase, ni el oro, ni el don,
It was about the love of God, until my final home.
