What If

What if
In another dimension
Another me chose not to abandon the sea.
On another planet
Another me left everything behind in search of inspiration
What if, what if
What if, what if..
In another galaxy
Another me didn’t leave you to go and discover the world
In another universe
Another me didn’t leave so many things unsaid
What if, what if
What if, what if..
What if, what if
What if, what if..

Metamorphosis
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Time will tell
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Time will tell
Time…time… Time…time…
The only certainty
We can have in this world
Is there are no certainties, everything’s constant
evolution, evolution
That improbable event
That sudden revelation
That enormous obstacle
That forced you to change
After the rain comes sun,
After the sun comes rain
After the day comes the night
After the night comes the day
Ah ah
Ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah
Ah ah
The only certainty
We can have in this world
Is that all’s in continuous change
Nothing we can control
for sure, for sure
After the rain comes sun,
After the sun comes rain
After the day comes the night
After the night comes the day
Ah ah
Ah ah

Who decides
Who…
Who chooses where we’re born?
Who decides where we’ll live?
From what we’ll run away?
To where? To where? To where?
What we’ll put in our mouth
Which God will promise us security
Will we climb up mountains,
Will we dive into deep holes?
Will we live below zero?
Will be free?
Will we have the right to play?
Will we have to be elegant?
Will we have to be smart?
But where do you belong?
where do you belong?
Do you really belong somewhere?
Do you really belong somewhere?
Will we live within four small walls?
Will we have to work since we’re three years old?
Will we have our parents’ support
Will we be allowed to go to school
What we’ll put in our mouth
Which God will promise us security
Will we climb up mountains,
Will we dive into deep holes?
Will we live below zero?

Who I Am

Who I am
Who I am
what is it that I’m looking for,
Even I don’t know
Who I am
what is it that I’m looking for,
Even I don’t know
Who I am
Who I am
So I-I wonder how they can find the words so easily
To express themselves about, about somebody else’s life
How can they find the words so easily
I would like so much to have the same facility of expression
When you’ve got to prove your right to belong to something
Any reason’s good to explain why someone else does not
does not
So I wonder how they can find the words so easily
To express themselves about, about somebody else’s life
Wake up as we are one
Wake up as we are one and one only we are one
Wake up as we are, up as we are one and one only we are one
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Wake up as we are one
So I wonder how they can find the words so easily
To express themselves about, about somebody else’s life
Wake up as we are one
Wake up as we are one
Wake up as we are one and one only we are one
Wake up as we are, up as we are one and one only we are one

Signs
Oh la la ih ih ih, oh la la ih ih ih
A sign is a sign for those who can see it
Yet just a coincidence for those who can’t
Flying is only possible for he who has wings
The others will just stay on land and look above
Oh la la ih ih ih, oh la la ih ih ih
Oh la la ih ih ih, oh la la ih ih ih
Create your reality, don’ just take theirs
Understand which is your way, and which is not
When you fail, you learn from your failures.
Failure after failure, you won’t be the same. You’ll have grown up.
You’ll have grown up
You’ll have grown up
You’ll have grown up
You’ll have grown up
When you write your story only you can feel it
You can’t let anyone else write it for you
You can’t live somebody else’s dreams and truths
You would be a slave for the rest of your life
Learn from your failures
Learn from your failures
You won’t be the same
You won’t be the same
Oh la la ih ih ih, oh la la ih ih ih
Oh la la ih ih ih, oh la la ih ih ih
Learn from your failures
Learn from your failures
You won’t be the same
You won’t be the same

Masks
Ever since I was born I learnt to make everyone happy
(ever) since I was born I learnt how to hide
I learned to make them proud before they even asked me
I knew what everyone wanted me to be
I used my intuition to make them proud
I learned how to be silent , I forgot how to shout
I learned how to sit down, I forgot how to run
I forgot all the things I used to dream about
Ever since I was born I learnt to make everyone happy
(ever) since I was born I learnt how to hide
I learned to make them proud before they even asked me
I knew what everyone wanted me to be
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah
Uh uh
Uh uh
I lost my essence
I was ashamed
I felt I was wrong, I….
I was ashamed
I felt I was wrong, I….
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
Ever since I was born I learnt to make everyone happy
(ever) since I was born I learnt how to hide
I learned to make them proud before they even asked me
I knew what everyone wanted me to be
I had to hit rock bottom to learn what it’s about
I had to find my true self, no more masks allowed
I found the kid hidden inside of me
I set her free, I learned how to be me
Ah ah ah ah ah
how to be me
Ah ah ah ah ah
how to be me
Ah

Tempo
Quero tempo, quero….
Quero tempo, quero….ah …
Into this life
The wind asked the time :
How much time does time have to go by?
The time answered the wind:
Got no time and I don’t wanna lie.
No right time for the time to fly away
No right time for it to go slow.
Time just knows it has to keep going
What is time, even time doesn’t know.
Quero tempo, quero tempo
Quero tempo, quero tempo
Quero tempo, quero tempo
Quero tempo, quero tempo
Tempo tempo tempo, meu tempo
Tempo tempo tempo, meu tempo
Tempo tempo tempo, meu tempo , tempo.
The heart asked the time:
How much value does time have to have?
The time answered the heart
Real value is no matter of time.
The magic of every instance
Can’t be measured by value nor time
Not by value, nor time, not by distance
The shiver just comes and goes by
No time for time to… no time for time to..fly away
Meu tempo, meu tempo,
meu tempo meu tempo,
meu tempo meu tempo, tempo.
Quero tempo, quero tempo
Quero tempo, quero tempo
Quero tempo, quero tempo
Quero tempo, quero tempo
Time is not enough, time flies away
time doesn’t go by, and we just stay
The heart asked the time:
How much value does time have to have?
The time answered the heart
Real value is no matter of time.
The magic of every instance
Can’t be measured by value nor time
Not by value, nor time, nor by distance
The shiver just comes and goes by
Meu tempo, meu tempo, no time for time to..
meu tempo meu tempo, no time for time to..
meu tempo meu tempo, … tempo
Meu tempo, meu tempo, no time for time to..
meu tempo meu tempo, no time for time to..
meu tempo meu tempo… tempo
Meu tempo, meu tempo,
meu tempo, meu tempo,
meu tempo, meu tempo, tempo.

"Equilibrium"
every time you feel the sorrow
every time you see the night
regret feeling aren't the sin now
sinner lover never complain
come to me, come with me, ardest
sometime it's beautiful
eache time it's wonderful
come in to the light with me
now you can open the window
breath the air, and watch the sun
the clouds are leaving from your mindness
open your heart and feel the light
ardest, deepest

Grace of loneliness
Alone, time is all mine
When I’m alone, time is all mine
Alone, time is all mine
When I’m alone, time is all mine
Creativity comes by (alone)
Time goes by and I don’t feel it When I’m alone
Alone, time is all mine
When I’m alone, time is all mine
Alone, time is all mine
When I’m alone, time is all mine
I can stop by and watch the flowers open up;
I can change my mind as many times as I want without feeling guilty
Without feeling guilty
I can stop and talk to the old lady in the street
Saying nothing, just admiring her relaxed attitude And her inner smile
And her inner smile
Alone, time is all mine
When I’m alone, time is all mine
Alone, time is all mine
When I’m alone, time is all mine
I am and I don’t realize it
I am and I don’t realize it
I am alone
When I’m alone
Un uh uh uh uh uh uh
Un uh uh uh uh uh uh
Un uh uh uh uh uh uh
Alone, time is all mine
When I’m alone, time is all mine
Alone, time is all mine
When I’m alone, time is all mine
I don’t feel time passing by
I invent my own little world
I create parallel dimensions and my craziness feels safe when I’m on my own
When I’m on my own
I can fly away to the palm trees
Feel the sun kiss my skin and paint it in the color of gold
And feel I’m a divine being
a divine being
Alone, time is all mine
When I’m alone, time is all mine
Alone, time is all mine
When I’m alone, time is all mine
I am and I don’t realize it
I am and I don’t realize it
I am alone
I am and I don’t realize it
I am and I don’t realize it
I am alone
