In the Dark
00:43
|
|||
|
In the dark, you are my light
In the bad moments, I need your smile
And I want to stay with you a minimum of one life.
One day is like one week
When you aren’t near me
I need you for everything
Because you are the center of my world.

Guilty of My Love
01:18
|
|||
|
You are guilty of my dreams
The reason to be who I am.
It´s like walking in an eternal land
I woke up because you hold my hand.
You´re not only sounds
You keep me safe and sound.
If I´m alone, you´ll stay with me.
If I´m wrong, you´ll let me see.
You´re the light of my darkness
You provoke my weakness and happiness.
You create a smile on faces
And for all this, I love you.
What I´ll learn from you
Is what I will do
To live in this scary world
That incredibly stopped.

Something in My Head
01:13
|
|||
|
Something in my head that doesn’t stop, a sound.
Who am I? And what do I want to become?
The eternal answer that can´t be found
But it isn´t the end because
Thinking is the reason that makes me live.
I isn´t a game over, it´s only try again.
Because I have a lot of UP to continue this game
I will defeat all the bosses of my mind
For I know the way that I want to find
I´m the hero of this story and I can´t die.
Finally I´m waiting for the wind that blows the sail
To take me to the destiny of my self.

The Future
00:45
|
|||
|
The future is frightening
The school is finished
Where am I going to go?
The future is frightening
I will lose a lot of friends
What am I going to do?
The future is frightening
Who will understand me
When I cry?
The future is frightening, isn´t it?
Will you stay with me?

One Wednesday
00:41
|
|||
|
I don´t understand what happens today….
One Wednesday like the other.
I´m lying on the right side of my bed
Looking at the city.
One Wednesday like the others
But now I understand the strength of the world
But I don´t know how this world can overcome a man
And leave him alone.
One Wednesday like the others
We´ve all been lost
For a long time of this life
Following the wrong steps being led by pride
And most of us just ain´t right.

My Mom Said to Me...
01:02
|
|||
|
My mom said to me that I had to study,
In that moment I laughed, but now I must care about it.
I believe I could fly when my dad would see the marks,
I could touch the stars.
It is a terrible history, it's really bad.
It isn't a good road, like a bad trial by both.
The chair is not my seat, but I feel useless.
See, mystery is not form,
An exam is to complete.
My sweat is cold as ice,
My legs are shaking.
Due to the fright, I have change my life.

Friendship
01:20
|
|||
|
Friendship is like health
When you loose it, you die.
One day, I fought with a friend
And it was not the end
“I´m sorry”, she told me even though.
She didn´t mean to destroy me.
When the sun went down,
My love grew up.
I knew we will be friends forever
And our love will never die.

Looking at the Moon
00:56
|
|||
|
Tonight I´m looking at the moon,
And I´m thinking about you.
Tell me, why is it so far?
Why does it remind me about you so much?
You were my life,
You were like a light
But suddenly it went wrong
And we lost our love
What happened? I don´t know.
But I don´t want to be trapped in you
I like to be free
You look like my jail.
I wish you good luck,
But I´ll make this trip alone
I´d rather not come back
I hope this journey won´t be too long.

In Class this Morning
00:44
|
|||
|
I was in class this morning
All my friends were yawning
And sleep was also
Knocking at my door
I would have even rested on the floor!
I was in class this morning
Trying to stop snoring
I couldn´t wait to go
And watch TV shows
I wanted to walk out the door.
I´m at home this evening
In bed peacefully sleeping
But now I have to do homework
And start thinking about tomorrow
Oh, how much I love going to school!

Once Upon a Time
00:37
|
|||
|
Once upon a time I was in the shower and the music was low.
I was very relaxed, but suddenly my calmness disappeared
with the cold water drippling.
It was like thousands of ice-cubes traveling around my body.
So I discovered that my brother was singing in the other shower
with the water.
Quickly, I took my towel and ran away with the soap in my hair.
When I arrived where my mum was I fell down on top of her…
that day wasn’t my very best day.

Summer is Ending
00:40
|
|||
|
One morning at 8 the sun starts shining
While we are sleeping
The birds are singing
All the people are very happy
Because the flowers bloom beautifully
The babies are smiling
The children are playing
And the grandparents are walking
People go to the swimming pool
Forgetting the boring school.
One morning you realize
That summer is ending
And school is about to start.
