lyrics

The figure of the wind, invisible to the vision of the men.
Time that never ends, invincible, the passion within.
The softness of a woman's skin.
The beauty of nature when it's wild.
The imagination of a child
Blushing sky,
Your eyes when you smile.
Your ears when you listen,
your tears when you cry.
Your voice to shout,
your heart to feel
and your choice to doubt.
Being a student and a teacher,
accepting failure.
Learning how to practice before being a preacher.
Getting to know yourself.
looking after your health,
cleaning the dust on your shelf.
Falling to get back up and be stronger.
The strength to seize the day and breathe wonder.
Forgiving so your heart can keep building,
fighting so the art can keep living.
The rivers, streams, lakes, seas and the ocean.
The plants, dirt, the seeds the emotion.
The flowers, plains, mountains, hills, the fields the erosion.
The jungles and forests, the trees that are growing.
The painting of each moment,
making love to your beloved,
when it's raining or it's snowing.
Memories that never die,
the poetry of humanity,
reading love letters in your eyes.
The food of our mothers and grandmothers.
The innocence of the youth.
The wounds of the truth.
The stars that make us want to reach far.
Hope that is long-lasting.
Earning respect without asking.
The necessity of music,
the need of sharing,
the intensity of movement.
The darkness of the night,
the light of the day.
The surprises of time.
Dreaming awake
Spraying a message on a wall,
giving roses to a soldier.
Taking your enemy for a walk.
Convincing a policeman to resign.
Show the lost that he can still find!
Making the president cook for the poor.
Reminding politicians where they belong.
Reading a book while breaking a law.
Being a son,
being a brother
to a beautiful sister
raised by a father and mom.
The chance of being a family all together as one.
