Leaving All Behind
(Mario Raposo)
The same that time once killed
Early dreams, an immortal life
Are no longer in your mind
You close yourself in a private world
And freeze your personal gifts
Then by the time you look outside
You’ve lost the highest tide…oh, my…
So you realize
You need to be reborn
Pack the luggage now and hit the road
The game is on the foot
Oh…Oh…Leaving all behind
Oh…Oh…Refreshing soul and mind
Oh…Oh…Guided by the sun
Oh…Oh…The dream is on the run
Silent pictures of your past
Are flashin’ inside your head
Then you see the big mistake
When you try to live with that
A sense of hope is growin’ in
By changing your I.D.
But by the time you look inside
You don’t know who you are…oh, my…
So you realize
You need to be reborn
Pack the luggage now and hit the road
The game is on the foot
Oh…Oh…Leaving all behind
Oh…Oh…Refreshing soul and mind
Oh…Oh…Guided by the sun
Oh…Oh…The dream is on the run
Today things are not the same…
It Remains The Same
(Luis Silva)
So I wake up in the morning
And I walk alone down the street
From side to side
I still hear the same old stories
People talkin’ about the future
That never comes around
In the middle of the confusion
Seems like something’s gonna change
But going to an uncertain future
It’s a blind run where dreams depends
On what you build
Are you capable to feel
What’s going wrong?
But it remains the same
Chorus
The same on every single day
Now you’ve lost another chance
But tomorrow’s a new day
And it still the same
Anxious for the change of times
Waiting for someone
Who rhymes with you
But it’s all the same all the time
When I turn on my T.V.
There’s a smiling face
Telling me that the world is fallin’ apart
War’s the only word I hear
Right inside the same big picture
Always stained with blood
I still hear the sound of the timer
Breaking the silence of the nights
After all those lonely days
It’s an endless waiting of a day
That never comes
Where my faith is being proved
Day after day
- Chorus -
Without
You
(Luis Silva)
Baby, please change your mind
And come to, I am here
Believe me it’s hard to go on
So hard to be strong without you
And when the night comes
I still feel your love on the
And I know That’s the reason Why I can’t…
Live without you
Without you girl
Lost among shadow and light
Without you, time’s just passing by
Live without you
Without you girl
Like a stranger through the night
Without you, no place I can find
Oh…without
you
I’ve wished to tell you the word
But I never told, don’t know why
God knows that it’s true
It’s only you who I want
Baby, I feel down and regret
‘Cause I blamed you that time
When You’ve shown me the worst about me
Live without you
Without you girl
Lost among shadow and light
Without you, time’s just passing by
Live without you
Without you girl
Like a stranger through the night
Without you, no place I can find
Oh…without you
Oh…I can’t sleep since you’ve gone
‘Cause I blamed you that time
When you’ve shown me the
worst about me
A
Lifetime
(Mario Raposo)
Here
I’m back on my feet again
I was awake in a dark cold dream
For a lifetime
In a lifetime
I saw you there near the bedroom’s wall
Waking me up, tellin’ me not to fall
For a lifetime
Oh…a lifetime
Oh…for a lifetime
Oh…a lifetime
But I never thought
That your feelings were
Always tender and real
Oh…for a lifetime
A lifetime
You hold my hand for a simple walk
You show me your world made of plain smooth talk
For a lifetime
In a lifetime
Touching your hand that I’ve should never let go
Two kids on the road now, and time has stopped
Oh…for a lifetime
Oh…you’re my lifetime
Now I can see
That your feelings were
Always tender and real
Oh…for a lifetime
Oh…a lifetime
Free from captivity
(Mario
Raposo)
Fading lights, just like fading lights
Loosing
the power of eternity
We
forget the reasons of our fight
Lost
in a sea of shame, where we sail alone
Hidden lies, just like hidden lies
Taking
us to a state of misery
Blinding
all the ones who lost their lights
Caught
in a meaningless world, how alone we are
But
when I hear your voice
Right
inside of my heart
I
feel a rush coming on
Free,
free, free from captivity
Chorus
I'll
be free, free with wings in my soul
Then
I can fly with the light on
To
the everlasting land
Fading
tides, just like fading tides
Some
come and go without knowing the reason why
There's
a moon that keep us on and on
And
in a foolish way, we just fade away
Tricked
minds, our tricked minds
Making
us all forget so many times
We
must find the essence of the truth
And
in a foolish way, without hope we stay
But
when I hear your voice
Right
inside of my heart
There
is a hope growin' in
-
Chorus -
Oh...we
walk across the bridge
Soon
it's time for us to say
-
Chorus -
Remember
(Luis Silva)
I remember when I saw you the first time
I remember that my heart beat strong and fast
My eyes never stopped to look at your face
I remember this, it was when I fell in love
Tell me how can I forget those days
You and I, we were so close all that night
I've try to say that I love you
But my pride was so strong
You were so real and your heart was so young
I remember, I remember all the time
I remember when we walked along that beach
Hand in hand, waiting till the sunset comes
And you've promised me to give your love forever
I remember this just like it was today
Tell me how can I forget those days
When everything was so wonderful like you
And day after day we were one to each other
Night after night my heart burned like a flame
I remember, I remember all the time
How can I go on
Chorus
And live without you after all we've shared
And I can't believe that you've closed your heart to me
When
I've opened myself giving everything that I had
For a long time
Tell me how...
- Chorus -
Life Is a Stage
(Mario
Raposo)
I'm fighting
with
myself
Changing
the odds
With
someone that I’ve never been
I
swallow things that never
Thought
that I could
Living
with hopes and empty words all time
Now
I remember that old phrase
Life is a stage
But I wont let this one to be mine
Life is a stage and I’ve found my own
Life is a stage and a song
The song of each man’s heart
The song of each man’s heart
Looking at the mirror
Askin’
who’s there
A
stranger comes from the dark
Suddenly
a tear drops from beyond
The
boy that I used to be I can see now
And
I remember who
I am
Life is a stage
But I wont let
this one to be
mine
Life is a stage and I’ve found my own
Life is a stage and a song
The song of each man’s heart
The song of each man’s heart
Stage of life
I’m
doin’ my own show
Stage
of life
Here
I am
Nothing else to dream
Thought
I was gone
In
a matter of two long days
Wake
up to the world
Reborn
to life
The
boy that I used to be is awaked again
Now
I remember who I am
Life is a stage
But I wont let this one to be mine
Life is a stage and I’ve found my own
Hear The Stars Calling
(Mario
Raposo)
In the night
Reachin’
out the sky
You
can hear the stars
Calling
you to the dreams of life
Close
your eyes
And
feel the change of times
Passing
through your mind
Like
the sand through your hand
Leave
it all
All
the things you’ve learned
Just
left all behind
And
be yourself again tonight
Heaven
knows
Who
we are and why…
Why
it is so hard
Reachin’
out the promise land
Follow the voices that calls you tonight
And you know for a while
That you hear the stars calling you…
To space
Far
away
Shining
minds up there
Are
watching you and I
Setting
all the way for us
And
you’ll find
After
all this time
We
were not alone
And
we’ll never be the same again
Kids on the run
(Mario Raposo)
With
no plans for life
We're
the owners of the world
An
adventure in the night
With
a wood knifemade sword
In
the depths of our souls
There's
an endless blue world
In
the depths of our hearts
Lies
the secrets of the Gods
With
the mind of a knight
And the heart of a child
There
is so much to ride
There
is so much to find
We were kids on the run
Chorus
Living
to reach the sun
We're
still kids on the run
We're
seeking lost treasures
In
the sea of our hopes
Like
sails in the wind
Our
quest never stops
We're
totally unaware
Of
the grown people's doubts
'Cause
we just share the light
Of
our own reality
With
the mind of a sailor
And the heart of a child
There
is so much to sail
There
is so much to find
- Chorus -
Like The Old Times
(Luis
Silva)
I can’t stand waiting any longer
Time
is hanging heavy upon me
Everything
is still the same to me
Tell
me up to when you will stay far from me
‘Cause
I want to tell you something
Nothing can be better than your love…yeh!
All I need is you tonight
Feel your body close to me
To look inside your eyes and say
I just wanna love you
like the old times again
Your
sweet smell is spread in my room
I
can feel it all over the places
Now
I understand
That
your love has changed my heart
My
life’s a waste of time when you’re not here
I
just wanna back this feeling
The
one I lost since you left me, baby…
All I need is you tonight
Feel your body close to me
To look inside your eyes and say
I just wanna love you
like the old times again
Deep Silence
(Luis Silva)
Silence is keepin’ in my heart
The
pain that I saw in your eyes
Since
the day you went away from my life
I
can see your face every night in my dreams
I
can see your tears falling in the rain
Silence
is keepin’ in my mind
All
the good times that we’ve shared
Times
that I will never…ever forget
And
when I feel the wind blowing softly in my face
I
can hear your voice whispering my name
I gave you the keys of my heart
And you flew with the wings of my soul
I’ve shown you my world and my life
Because my love for you was so strong
But I was so blind with my love
That I forgot how much I could be hurt
Can you understand ?
Oh…will
you understand ?
I
gave you the keys of my heart
And you flew with the wings of my soul
I’ve shown you my world and my life
Because my love for you was so strong
But I was so blind with my love
That I forgot how much I could be hurt
Can you understand ?
Oh…will
you understand ?
That’s What I’m Here For
(Mario Raposo)
Nothing has changed
Since
I have broke the chain
To
know you inside
That’s
what is missing
I don’t know what’s next
I
don’t know where life comes from
To
keep on with my faith
That’s
what I’m here for
That’s what I’m here for
Such a long time
Lookin’ for the perfect fly
But it’s not enough
To be free as the wind
I don’t know for sure
What
mission comes to me
To
be by your side
That’s
what I’m here for
So many times
Carrying
the burden of guilt
To
live and let live
That’s
what I’m here for
That’s
what I’m here for
Such a long time
Lookin’ for the perfect fly
But it’s not enough
To be free as the wind
Nothing
has change
Since
I have broke the chain
To
know you inside
That’s
what I’m here for
That’s what
I’m here for
Such a long time
Lookin’ for the perfect fly
But it’s not enough
To be free as the wind
I
don’t know what’s next…
You’re Still There
(Mario
Raposo)
Take my hand
Don’t
let the rain fall down
You
and I, we were just one soul
Playin’
to the sun, Heaven’ on earth
No
guilt or sorrow, sadness or dirt
Can’t
you remember this
Take
my heart
Don’t
let the pain takes you down
Don’t
give up, I know you so well
Deep
in your eyes I’ve always seen
That
you can fight and turn on the light
You
must remember how
I can’t face another day
Without your soul in my heart
I close my eyes
And I find that you’re still there
Take
my hand
Lets
show them how we were together
You
and I falling in love again
Lay
all your love on me
Just
like we used to be
Oh…my
darlin’
I’m
restless about this time
Until
I have you in my arms again
Take
my hand
Don’t
let the rain fall down
You
and I, we were just one soul
Havin’
each other, just havin’ each other
I can’t face another day
Without your soul in my heart
I close my eyes
And I find that you’re still there
Take my hand
Lets
show them how we were together
Oh…falling in love again
