Have you ever imagined our world without war?
Where there is no killing anymore
Where peace is everywhere
And the world becomes truly fair
...

Clouds moving so fast in the morning skies
Yesterday's baby cries become today's old age sighs
What was an everyday habit is now a memory
Of a habit time forgot to emphasize
...

Last thing I remember was the dreamy weather
When we were lying together
When you opened your lips and smiled
Like an innocent child.
...

Waking up so early today,
Realizing it's the beginning of a new day
Ran quickly to the window to see
A happy world in front of me.
...

I cherished my own soul one day
Emerged out of the dull surface of clay
I opened my eyes and saw the dawn
Crossed the many limits that were drawn
...

I left it all
Once and for all
Everything that was there
Did not deserve my care
...

Questions questions on my mind,
Curious questions of every kind.
Who am I in the first place?
Would it help if I looked at my face?
...

It wasn't me
It wasn't me you used to see
I wasn't there
I wasn't in the moments we used to share
...

I need your light to get me through
God I know your love is true
I believe in you first and foremost
Whatever this may have to cost
...

I lost myself in your eyes
Lost my very own existence
Lost the pieces that tied me to my past
...

I walk away
I walk away out of the guilt
I walk away out of the shame
I walk away never again the same.
...

The moment I saw you, was the moment the butterflies in my stomach flew
The moment I saw you, I met the reality of a dream I once drew
The moment I saw you, I saw my reality anew
...

As the plane climbs up the stairs to where a million stars lie,
My head seems to swim through the perfect black sky

Miles ahead,
...

I hope you know.. that to me,

You were the blossoming flowers of spring,
You were the precious diamonds shining on an engagement ring,
...

If the world is an ocean
And, I, just a drop
That moves along with the collective wave motion
Secretly wishing that it would stop
...

The clocks kill me with their relentless ticking
Like a march of hungry soldiers in search of war
Blood and bones instead of the fruits I should be picking
Clock arrows ferociously eating inside my core
...

In life
I discovered
that the more you give thanks,
the more you receive.
...

Mirrors reflect
what we wish to see
Mirrors tell
of other people we're dying to be
...

You look at me,
with eyes full of light
Like a hundred windows to your soul
opening so bright
...
