Back in the old days (when I turned 14)

"Ordinary World"

Came in from a rainy Thursday
On the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly

I turned on the lights, the TV
And the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you

What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some are saying
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence
Once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops
Run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Here today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here besides the news
Of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

And I don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Every one
Is my world, I will learn to survive
Any one
Is my world, I will learn to survive
Any one
Is my world
Every one
Is my world

Momentos entre amig@s

Há momentos em que conseguimos estar à altura, em que nos comportamos cordialmente e afectuosamente e recordamos esses momentos com orgulho e carinho. Nem sempre me consigo recordar desses momentos mas sei que te devo agradecer por alguns deles.
Se o passado ficar para trás e não se envolver no presente e no futuro, desejo apenas que as tuas memórias sejam tão agradáveis como as minhas.

A new beginning

Sometimes you wonder when all is going to return to that which you recognize as to be normal,
maybe this is as normal as you get
Being weird or freaky may be normal
Normal is just a word, the way you feel defines who you are
Every second is a new beginning, try to enjoy it while you're you.

The Band Plays On

will you begin to live
when things change
for the better of all living
once the orchestra plays
and all can hear it

or is it likely
that the drive inside of you
has ceased to exist
in a world outside
of who you really are

yet the band plays on
for all wishing to hear it

O teu dia é sempre

Talvez hoje te diga Parabéns (atrasados)
Talvez hoje te sintas especial
Talvez hoje o mundo gire à tua volta
Talvez hoje sejas o mundo de alguém
Talvez sempre o dia seja teu
