Lyrics

I close my eyes and let my spirit
Flows away tonight
Now is the time to face the truth
All the answers must be found

In the lonely places
I hear the strong voices
Screaming loud
But all is silent

Voices trying to say
That we must have the pray
To save our souls
From the bad signs

We’ve taken hands
That plan the end
Of our dreams

So let’s believe
That we have wings
And let’s fly free... ohohhh...
From here

Demons and angels
Fighting together
Destroying the plans of your life

Sometimes the light blinds
So let’s close our eyes
To realize what’s inside of us

The answers I have found
Echo round about
Its a hell inside paradise

We’ve taken hands
That plan the end
Of our dreams

So let’s believe
That we have wings
And let’s fly free... ohohhh...
From here

The Secret and Inspiration

The general was too young to carry so much experience. Recently promoted, he was still trying to prove his worth, measure his intelligence, and his control over the events he governed. But in recent days, something had been troubling his mind—bad signs that couldn't be contained in spreadsheets or reports. A premonition that came like a silent shadow, and even when he closed his eyes, it wouldn't dissipate.

In the cold corridors of the European headquarters, he walked alone. Each empty room seemed to whisper truths that no one dared admit. He closed his eyes and felt the weight of the imminent destruction, the signed orders, the maps with precise targets, but the sensation was spiritual, almost supernatural. As if the very demons of war were whispering in his ear: "this is wrong." He pressed his fingers on the buttons of the controls, trying to calm the screaming intuition.

Strategic meetings took place in armored rooms. Generals, advisors, and politicians smiled coldly, debating numbers and priorities, while children died miles away. The media broadcast carefully selected images: smoke on hillsides, explosions that seemed inevitable, scattered victims. But he knew—he knew that behind the narrative, hospitals were being hit, schools pulverized, families annihilated. He felt the misery, the hunger, and the pain as if they were inside his own chest.

The night before the attack, he dreamed. He dreamed of hospitals collapsing, of children crying, of leaders immune to any judgment. He dreamed of the paradise he believed he protected transforming into hell. Every detail was too vivid, every scream and every tear etched clearly in his mind. He woke up sweating, but there was no time for doubt. Bureaucracy demanded decisions. Orders needed to be signed. And he hesitated. He tried to raise his voice, tried to stop it. But he was ignored.

On the day of the attack, the planes took off with millimeter precision. The hospital was hit. Civilians, wounded and children, fell under rubble that would be counted only as "collateral damage" in the pages of the official report. He watched on the screens, each image a knife to his conscience. He tried to believe there was still a chance to intervene, but the communication channels were closed, the phones silenced, the advisors busy justifying each number, each cold statistic. The feeling of powerlessness was total.

Hours later, in a distant palace, someone shook hands with the person in charge. A protocolary act, cold, safe, disconnected from the death it had caused. The young general watched in silence, breathing heavily, feeling each second weigh on his mind. He knew the bad signs weren't just dreams; they were warnings. And yet, the world acted as if nothing had happened. As if national security justified everything, as if every cry went unheard. As if hell were just a theory.

And there, in the silence of the command room, he closed his eyes once more, trying to escape the weight of his conscience. But the bad signs continued, echoing within him, reminding him that evil didn't need to scream. It was in the signed orders, the convenient smiles, the media manipulation, the global indifference. And as civilization went on its course, he whispered to himself, trembling: Bad signs.

And even with all that, there was a faint thread of hope that could not be ignored. Perhaps, in some distant future, other young generals—as he had been—could see beyond the orders, the cold statistics, and the promises of national security. Perhaps they would truly feel the pain, look at the children, the hospitals, the misery of the world, and choose to act with humanity.

May these new generations somehow “have wings” and fly free, far from the chains of indifference that imprisoned so many before them. A faint hope, far from here, but still possible, if someone had the courage to listen to the bad signs and transform them into change.

Spain - Performance

Each country profile presents the most recent data available on a range of indicators relating to the well-being of women and children. Each country profile page is composed of data from multiple sources, depending on the indicator domain. For example, child mortality rates come from the most recent data produced by the UNICEF-led Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (IGME).

SDG indicators related to children

The 2030 Agenda includes 17 Global Goals addressing the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Attached to the Goals are 169 concrete targets measured by 232 specific indicators.

To map and monitor how ambitious and realistic countries’ targets are, UNICEF has created quantifiable country-level benchmarks for child-related indicators for which data are available to measure and monitor child rights on a common scale.

Below is a snapshot of the country’s performance against the 45 child-related SDG indicators, grouping results into five areas of child well-being to provide an overall assessment of how children are doing. Countries are assessed using global and national targets. The analysis provides valuable insights into both historical progress—recognizing the results delivered by countries in the recent past—and how much additional effort may be needed to achieve the child-related SDG targets. This approach provides a framework for assessing ambition as well as the scale of action needed to achieve it.
