'Bout Love

The thing about love

is that sometimes

we get lost

and don't know how to come back

'cause we are tired,

stressed,

over worked,

children.

Love is a funny thing.

It makes us so strong,

but it breaks us into pieces.

And then when we find the courage 

to put the pieces back together,

that love is long gone. 

So then we wonder,

if we didn't get lost with life,

if love would last a lifetime...



Break Free

I arrive at the top of the mountain

to reach for the sky

but when I get there

there is no one by

so I ask myself

why did I even try

nobody told me

how hard it would be

to break free

from all the troubles within me

I tried so hard

I couldn't even breathe

So my heart is pounding fast

as fast as a train

about to be derailed

so please save me 

save me from me

I am trying to break free

break free from all the sorrows

try....

save me

from all the sorrows

give me the strength

I want the strength

please give me the strength 

to break free.


Within YOU

Doing what we can

Trying our hardest

Doing our best

They all tell us these

But who are they to think 

we can try our best

Who are we to think we are entitled to even try?

...

... 

Who we are?

We are children of GOD.

HE tells us to 

do what we can,

try our hardest,

do our best.

HE tells us all these.

HIM. 

For HE is 

our perseverance,

our strength,

our victory.

Don't question HIM. 

Find in HIM.

HE is right there beside YOU.

You arrived here to this very moment.

Look inside.

Whom do you see?

GOD within YOU.

YOU with GOD.

HE is walking beside YOU.

Give your hands to HIM. 

Rise with HIM.

YOU will not fall.



The Very Few

 So when they ask you why.

Tell them why.

But expect most to walk away.

And the very few to stay. 


Recomeço

E quando mais pedimos que tudo esteja bem

É quando você percebe que nada está bem.

Mas parece que isso é o caminho da vida.

A cada passo há um novo obstáculo.

E com cada recomeço, há uma nova caída.

Mas a cada caída, há um novo recomeço.

E esse recomeço é o que nos dá energia para reiniciar

E reiniciar é de assustar.

Tudo diferente.

Tudo novo.

E quando mais pedimos que dê tudo certo.

É quando você percebe há uma vida inteira para reinventar.

E o lindo da vida é reinventar. 

O amor

A vida

A alma.


Without a river

Sometimes we wish

that life would be a simple path

a path which takes us places

to discover beautiful things

but then we wake up and it is all over

So life is not a simple path

it is not a path easy to take

Nobody chooses hardship

We wish for laughter

Nobody choose tears

We wish for calm tides

The stream of loneliness 

is a path often taken

we are all alone it seems

we suffer alone

deep in our sorrows

All alone

and we smile so nobody questions

We don't want to choose tears,

so we cry alone without a river.

Silently Dreaming of Rain

Silently dreaming of rain

because even trying

the tears don't come

heart is pounding

anger, frustration, sorrow

still the tears don't come

Silently dreaming of rain.

Silently dreaming...

Silently.

Crying. 

Crying under the shower

this heart won't heal

it doesn't get better

nothing gets better

Numbing...

Numbing the pain, the tears, the hurt.

Silently...

Silently dreaming...

Silently dreaming of rain.
