Live lighter
Let it slide
Let it burn
Let it hide
Let it turn
Let it snail
Let it run
Let it fail
Let it shine
Let it fly away
Let it rhyme
Let it stray
Let it wonder
Let it last
Let it plunder
Let it crash
Let it go
Let it crush
Let it grow
Let it burst
Let it fall
Let it vanish
Let it call
Let it banish
Let it cry
Let it crawl
Let it die
Let it be all.

Immortality
Reprise
Death will never tear us apart
You belong to that special category
You are everywhere
Your voice is in my mind
Always
Your wise advice are dancing in my brain
Faultless
Your sweet hug keeps me company
All the time
Memories will be my best friend
No matter what
Your body is weak and shrunken
It’s OK
One day, the pain will slide away
Forever
But our love will remain
For Eternity
Why would you need a cracked body
If you already have the most important?
A beautiful clear soul
And remember, yours is immortal.
Filipa Moreira da Cruz
I’m ready
Reprise
I used to be afraid of everything
Avoiding my own deepest feeling
Everytime others moved too fast
I felt apart
I counted the words inside my head
And my face turned into bright red
Whenever someone stared at me
I just wanted to vanish and feel free
Life was easy though
Because the usual things flow
Naturally
Simply
Now I’m ready to unwrap my wings and fly
I’ll use my imagination to colour the sky
In green and blue
As long as there will be me and you.

Stairway to Heaven
Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins.
Edgar Allan Poe
No one here gets out alive.
Jim Morrison
Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one’s head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forget life, to be at peace.
Oscar Wilde
Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality.
William Shakespeare
By becoming deeply aware of our mortality, we intensify our experience of every aspect of life.
Robert Greene
I discovered to my joy, that it is life, not death, that has no limits.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.
Ernest Hemingway
The miracle of life
Reprise
Don’t ask me the impossible
And I’ll always surprise you
Don’t be hard on yourself
You have the right to fail
Don’t judge others
Beacause you ignore what they went through
Don’t forget the child in you
Accept yourself as a whole
Don’t be wise all the time
And be ready for the unpredictable
Don’t hide your feelings
They make you unique and special
Don’t take life too seriously
And embrace the unexpected
Don’t let go of your dreams
They keep you alive
Expect nothing
Just enjoy every moment.
Filipa Moreira da Cruz
All we need is love
Reprise
Accept the difference
Embrace the unknown
Step out from your comfort zone
Be the inspiration
Forgive yourself
Give without anything in return
Don’t lose hope
Keep the faith
Avoid great expectations
Enjoy simple things
Believe in miracles
Follow your dreams
And above all
Love unconditionally.

Orgoglio
Reprise
The abusive love is villain
It flows through your veins
And drowns your heart
Tearing us apart
Saying « I’m sorry »
With hustle and flurry
Isn’t a weakness
But a strength covered by sweetness
Whispering « forgive me »
Will set you free
Open your eyes
And start dating the beauty
The whole universe cries
For those who are too snooty
Ignore the hate, let your fears flow
Unwrap your ego
Pride is more than a sin
Is dancing with the evil and sing
A sad and spiteful melody
Once you silence your whims
You’ll find the light that beams
And guides you through the path to serenity.

Letter to a friend
Reprise
Dear friend,
I’m counting the days for Spring to come
You know I dislike Winter time
If you were here, we could stroll on the beach
Feeling free and released
Have I told you that I have a dog?
Poppy is sweet and strong
Do you remember
When we used to sing and dance?
Every moment together was a real chance
You were young and full of energy
Heaven took you away so soon from me
At night, I ask the stars
To guide you wherever you are
I keep the promise in your name
Although life will never be the same
One day, we’ll meet again
My dear friend.
Filipa Moreira da Cruz
Time
Reprise
The first step is the hardest to take
After that, it’s a piece of cake
Don’t move too fast
Take a deep breath
If you rush
You’ll fall apart
Good things take time
There’s a time to hear
A time to speak
A time to wait
A time to heal
A time to greet
And a time to say goodbye.
