By now you should have known what the world can offer
what to take, what to refuse
there should be a thing called life abuse.
Ignoring your opportunities,
greedy searching for more resources
while on a pile of gold you lie
it is imperative that you try

To open your eyes and build a heart
Over the ruins of the fire you brought;
Celebrate the decent and burn down
the kingdom of useless plenty.

Stepped out to get a drink
Came back with much more
It lasted less than a blink;
On my way to the store
My path crossed with that of a man
Who seemed to be calculating a plan
The fire to take over the world flamed from his eyes.
He just stood there, but embracing everything
The cold, the empty streets had a deep meaning
To me and to him
It was not the illusion caused by drinking.
Only our eyes met for less than a second
But our minds connected, I did not feel threatened.
On a late hour such as this I would normally increase my pace
But there we where, the only two souls
Who wanted to embrace
The night, the world, the cold, in order to find our life's goals.
I came back home with so much more
From the eyes of the stranger I received the message
"You are not alone".

I woke up one day
And wanted to say
To all those whom I love
How they lifted me above
All that shame, all that hate
I'm still a kid learning to behave.
With so much love inside I still manage to be selfish,
I have a broken heart that needs to be replenished.
I dread my mistakes and those that others made towards me
I fight to be stronger and regain faith.
I have so much light around me,
my family and friends contributed to it;
and yet I still visit the darkness
transcending pain into emptiness.
To be nice they call me sensible
Truth is I am a coward.
I now see what I should praise
I now feel what I have to offer
I now look at myself and see potential.
I can resist life's mist and feel bliss
In darkness, in struggles and storms
I will lift my sword and grab the evil by its horns!

Plenty laughter, I require silence
Many friends, I crave for solitude
Busy schedule, I dream of sleep;
Fired up into the mundane
I wish I could water away into ice
Simultaneously with the freezing nature
I crave for hibernation.
Hit pause on my life, all seems to run in the wrong place
Oh, dear.. I'm afraid of all the right opportunities I'm passing by
too fast to see them.
"Every path is the right path", someone said in a movie
But my instinct, my gut, my heart scream Stop!
When you can't tell which is wrong and what is right
You should seek help from your inner might.
So what does the core say? Is this YOU right now?

With stars on top and grass bellow
I feel time moving really slow;
From the edge of the city
I moved towards the light
In the heart of a valley
In search of strength to fight.
I became an urban monster
In this jungle that does not feel right
The greed, speed and emotional slaughter
Simply crush our nerves and turn off our light.
We need to take a moment and recall our true goals
Our fight should be to save our souls.
I hereby invite you, all those who feel sick
Inside and outside; I found a trick!
Simply sit down on the grass, not a comfy bed,
Let nature embrace you, it will clear your head.
Shed those tears, they will drain your frustration
Remember you have a heart, it's the first step to liberation.
