Alex Campos - Bajo El Sol Lyrics
Lyrics
Que tengo yo en mis manos, sino tinta y papel
Que tengo yo para ofrecerte si lo que soy me cuesta ser…
Soy como el grito que se ahoga pidiendo al cielo su querer
Soy como el aire que se aleja sin rumbo y si proceder
Y aquí estoy reconozco que lejos estoy
Y aquí estoy regresando al lugar del que soy
Bajo el sol en tu ventana reconozco lo que soy
Soy el niño que un día renuncio a su camino y te entrego el corazón
Soy poema que se extiende, soy valiente y voy de frente
Contigo yo se quien soy….
Que tengo yo que ocultarte, si tu me conoces bien
Cada segundo quiero amarte lo que tu quieras quiero ser
Y aquí estoy reconozco que muero por voz…
Bajo el sol en tu ventana reconozco lo que soy
Soy el niño que un día renuncio a su camino y te entrego el corazón
Soy poema que se extiende, soy valiente y voy de frente
Contigo yo se quien soy….
Y aunque parezca extraño el pasado allí quedo
Ya no soy un extranjero, soy tu hijo tuyo soy….
Bajo el sol en tu ventana quiero darte mi mañana quiero darte lo que soy
Soy el niño que un día renuncio a su camino y te entrego el corazón
Soy poema que se extiende, soy valiente y voy de frente
Contigo yo se quien soy….
Bajo el sol en tu ventana te declaro mi amor….
Ese niño sigue vivo, y con mas fuerzas que nunca, no renuncio aquí estoy…

Meaning & Inspiration
Released on August 7, 2012, as part of the album "Regreso a Ti," Alex Campos' "Bajo El Sol" is a profound musical offering that delves into themes of repentance, reconciliation, and renewed identity in God's embrace. The song's genesis appears to be a deeply personal journey of recognizing one's straying from a spiritual path and a heartfelt desire to return to the source of true belonging. Campos poignantly expresses a sense of inadequacy, acknowledging his limitations – "What do I have in my hands but ink and paper?" – and his struggle to authentically be himself. This vulnerability sets the stage for a powerful confession of having been lost, like a stifled cry for divine connection or aimless air drifting without purpose. However, the turning point arrives with the recognition of returning to one's origin, to the place of spiritual truth.
The central message of "Bajo El Sol" is one of rediscovery and affirmation found in the light of God's presence. The image of "under the sun in your window" is a beautiful metaphor for encountering God's illuminating gaze, where one's true self is recognized. Campos identifies not with a sophisticated or capable individual, but with the humble, childlike figure who once turned away from their path but now offers their heart completely. This resonates deeply with the Gospel message of humility and childlike faith, as Jesus himself stated, "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 18:3). The song emphasizes a newfound courage and forward momentum, declaring, "With you, I know who I am." This assurance in one's identity in Christ is a cornerstone of Christian belief, mirroring Paul’s declaration in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all this through him who gives me strength."
The lyrics further explore the absence of pretense before a God who knows all. The desire to love and to be whatever God wills signifies a complete surrender, echoing the sentiment of Romans 12:1, which urges believers to offer themselves as "living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God." The repetition of "And here I am, I admit I die for you" expresses an intense longing for divine communion and a spiritual hunger that can only be satisfied by God, a feeling akin to the Psalmist’s cry, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God" (Psalm 42:1). The return to the "child who once renounced his path" is a powerful image of redemption, suggesting that the core of our being, our original design in God, is capable of being restored and even strengthened. This idea of shedding an old identity and embracing a new one in Christ is vividly described in 2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" The song’s declaration that the past is left behind and that one is no longer a stranger but a child of God speaks directly to the freedom and belonging found in our heavenly adoption, as stated in Galatians 4:7, "So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you heir." Ultimately, "Bajo El Sol" is an anthem of returning home, of embracing the transformative power of God's love, and of finding an unshakeable identity in His light, reinforcing the truth that with Him, we are not only known but also deeply loved and empowered.
