If sadness was a choice
people would choose to be sad
There is never a choice
People cannot be happy
without being sad

which is sad, so now I am happy

I open my arms with acceptance,
With every minute that passes,
I get feelings of spring,
So I can merge with your masses;

As distant as the sky,
As blue as the sea,
You wide green field,
Only you I am eager to see.

God gave me voice
not to be silent
but to scream out
about mercy and violence
about rights and wrongs
about beauty of world
about child labor
about colorful rainbow
about witch trials
about love and desire
about lies and betrayals
about lost, drug addicts, outcasts, homelessness
and most of all about His forgiveness.

Una curva comienza a delinearse en tus labios
Se asoma la felicidad en tus ojos
Se desprende de ti el dolor
Desparece la angustia
Te encuentras en la curva imperfecta que refleja tu alma

Parece que estaba extraviada
Vagando alrededor tuyo sin saber cómo volver
Pero ha encontrado el camino de vuelta a su hogar
Y hoy más que nunca
Vive en tu rostro
Y finalmente le devuelve al mundo lo que tanto extrañaba

El fenómeno detiene el tiempo
Por segundos esa curva es todo lo que existe
La vida depende de su presencia
Las miradas se suspenden en el aire
Y cuando se queda a vivir en ti
El corazón comienza a moverse en tu pecho
Y el mundo puede escuchar cada uno de sus latidos
El flujo de la vida por tu cuerpo
Y todo por esa curva en tu rostro

What is love
Other than pain and despair
With a little bit of happiness
Here and there.

I want to smile
I want to make him smile
I want to smile with the one that loves me

I want to be happy
I want to make him happy
I want to be happy with the one that loves me

I want to love
I want to be loved
I want to love the one that loves me

What is the purpose of life when there is nobody by your side?
To make you smile, to make him happy
To let the love lead the way
What is the purpose?

I was too young

Too young to know

That selling your soul

Is never condoned

By the angels above

or even demons in hell

Now as a misfit

In misery, I dwell

BUT my decision was

NOT made in hast

Instead, it determined

A sweet lover's fate

& if the angels above

Cannot understand

Then this sacrifice is one

I will gladly withstand

& with no hesitation

I’d quickly defend

That in the name of love

I’d do it again…

Beautiful lotus...
I wish they could see,
All the potential you have and the things that you could be.
Everything you imagined in your wildest dreams...
Beautiful lotus, how I wish they could see.
They love your Florescent petals so they pick you apart… unaware of the internal damage this causes to your heart.
I guess its called "Tough Love" but they are stripping your art.
Beatuiful Lotus, taking blows so harsh..
You should be a beautiful diamond considering all the pressure you've been through,
Such a precious gem with dark, ugly roots…
Faced with adversity and Plagued by deception… Still finding your way to see it through. A world so cold and ugly has created something so beautiful.
Bloom Lotus  bloom, Even in the heart of June. Shine lotus shine, even in the light of the Moon... Never let anything in this world make you leave it too soon. You have so many things that you need to see.
Beautiful lotus...
My sweet sweet lotus,
Just set yourself free.
And reach for the Heights they told you you would never see.
