Youth
Want to play with me?
Want to go out with me?
There's a whole world outside
Why don't you just come with me?
Let's run through the grass
Fly in a paper plane
Sail away on a plastic boat
Let's wander all around the world
Since we were children we dreamed
To conquer this World and there were
No boundaries, no limits at all
Since were children we had it all
C'mon let's go and watch the stars
C'mon maybe we can get that far
Leave your insecurities away
Leave your pain away
Looking above our heads
The leaves of the tree sway
In a lullaby sung by the wind
A melody of love and mysticism
Coming from the tranquility of the sea
While children are playing outside
The merry-go-around keeps turning
A second turned into an eon
As the wind sways back and forth
Timeless as the rest of the Universe
Infinite as the seas and the wind
A melody of love and mysticism
From the tranquility of the sky
Looking above our heads
While resting on the green grass
Can you feel the World turning?
To the sound of our hearts
The Sun above our heads
Watching over for us
Let's dance as the planets around
To the rhythm of the star
Goodbye
Goodbye my love
It's time to part
Life has given us
Two different paths to take
I’m leaving My love
I am taking a stroll
Without you, for life
Does not want us to be one
The wind will blow our memories away
Goodbye My love
Goodbye My love
The sea will wash away our pain
Wlecome back My love
I will always be waiting for you
Forever and ever
My heart is open for you
Do not worry My love
Though it might hurt now
Soon you will find someone else
Bon voyage My love
Running Away
Stuck in the middle of nowhere
All I can think about is run
But, where to? Where from?
No destination in, No destination out
This life I am living feels like
Emptiness all around
This path I've chosen is not
Not the right one. Run
Where to? Where from?
Running, that's what I've done
All my entire life, all my life
This path overwhelms me
Run. Where to? Where from?
Run. Just run. Away to the middle
Of nowhere. Just go. Just go.
While the drums play
Stronger and higher I want to go
Reach the skies with my hands
Stronger and higher I want to go
Meet my destiny with thee.
Senses
As the piano keys keep pressing down
My mind wanders off and it lets go
All the pain, all the restrains
Are left behind, are left in the past
No, I don't want to go back there
I want to live in this free world of mine
Allow me to dive in waves of freedom
Let this melody become my soul
As the birds fly away in the blue skies
As I look up and gaze to the Sun
No words can describe this feeling of mine
Make me become one with this sight
The Wind is blowing and whispering
Telling me waves of change are coming
As the waves of the sea come and go
Take all the sadness from my soul
As the piano keys keep pressing down
Here I stand stranded in this World
No, don't let my bubble burst
Let me live in my own World.
Tick Tock
Tick Tack Tick Tack goes the clock
Tick Tack without stopping at all
Life is full of mysteries Tick Tack
Love is a mystery in itself Tick Tack
The clock of life never seems to drop
People comes and goes as the rain drops
The mist of the morning fades away
Just as people comes and goes nonstop
Tick Tack Tick Tack goes the clock
Tick Tack without stopping at all
The Wind keeps blowing
Taking it all away without reason at all
So, the clock keeps ticking for you and for me
Although we want to run away Tick Tack
The sound of our lives haunts us both
No one will escape that sound as
Tick Tack Tick Tack goes the clock
Tick Tack without stopping at all.
Life…
Let me make myself useful to humanity
Allow me to broaden the limits of my heart
Let me shine as the brightest of the Stars
Allow me to smile everyday to make someone smile, too
Give me strength, to become the strength of others
Make me strife to be the best I can be
Give me courage to fight against this World's darkness
Make me someone who can bring happiness to others
Life...
Let me paint the sky blue even when it rains
Allow me to raise my children in a World of Peace
Let me be become hope for all humanity
Allow me to see this World full of happiness
Give me wisdom to touch people's hearts
Make me become useful to others, too
Give me enough reason to stand up when no one else can
Make me someone who will embrace everyone
Life...just let me protect this World.
Rain Drops
While the rain drops
Angels are crying
So, they used to say
In the ole' country
While I am coated by
By their drops of silence
I look above and think
Where are you now?
Did time forget about us?
As our drops deluge
While falling down
So does our sense of time
In this eternal wait of mine
All I can do is stare at the sky
Let the wind bring change
Let the sea take the pain away
Let the rain purify our hearts again
Let the soil absorb our love forever
Did time make us forget?
That promise we once made
While questioning my life
All I know is I've got to wait
For thee to find me, for me
To find thee
Slaves
So everyday I watch them carefully
Indulged and preoccupied by work
Pity is all I feel for them
Do they think their existence is ruled by that?
Their low self-esteem makes me ponder
Is it better to follow the rules to the dot
or maybe it's better to live my life to the fullest
Work is just that, there's nothing more to it
Nowadays, seems what's important
Is to go up and up
As everything that goes to the top
Falls steadily to the floor
Their tendency is to judge
They cannot see far beyond their eyes
Life's just much more than work
Oh poor things, what a lowly life they live in
Singing Soul
Why is it that I sing
The same verses again and again
Why is it that life sometimes
Feels void and uneasy
Walking around town
All I do is sing
But, who am I singing for
Is it me or this is just an illusion
Walking down the wrong path
Is not the first time nor the last
Why is it that I keep on singing?
Is it me or my voice will just faint
Sometimes in the blue of the night
All I want is my voice to be heard
Can you hear me from afar?
Is it just silly to think that
Walking around town
All I do is sing
But, who am I singing for
Is it me or this is just an illusion
Skies
Those days you feel down for no reason
Just go out and look up the skies
Let yourself be embraced
By the vastness of this World
Love the World
Love your friends
Love your family
Love yourself
Love the World
There are times when we're down
Let's not be defeated and trust our hearts
Those times will soon pass
Let me hold your hand and hug you
No matter how sad we feel sometimes
We shall always smile
Life is not static and happiness is always there
For us to chase
Love the World
Love your friends
Love your family
Love yourself
Love the World
Hold on to your dreams
Hold on to your friends
Hold on to life
Hold on to this World
