I feel alone
In this battle
Hope is a mere passage
In my life's times

Don't know who to turn to
What if I'm going at it alone
Don't know who to turn to
What if they label me wrong

Never wanted to be this way
But my feelings don't give a ****
Have to stop at some point
Take a way and leave the other
My mind murmurs more
As time moves on

Don't know who to turn to
What if I'm going at it alone
Don't know who to turn to
What if they judge me wrong

Always striven to live a good life
So I fight with my emotions
But every time I stop
To go the righteous way
I mess up, falter, get stuck again

It's back to the warfare in my mind
Infiltrating most thoughts going on by

I feel all alone
In this battle
Hope it'll soon be over
Don't want any casualties
To injure a good man

Tengo un petalo
De la primera vez que te vi
Una sola flor te di
Todo lo que degaste
Fue el auroma de gardenias
Y unos petalos que con el viento
Volaron y flotaron hacia mi

Y el tiempo paso
Pero tu no regresabas a mi
Nadamas sostenia los petalos
Pensando ala mejor podria sentirte a ti
Y tu fragancia regresaba por ahi
En ese momento con nostalgia
Pensaba por que tu no estas aqui

Y el tiempo paso
Los petalos se secaron y volaron lejos
Por desasos como tu memoria
Corrieron sin poderlos rescatar

Y ahora tengo un solo petalo
De la primera vez que te vi
Es el ultimo que quedo
Los demas el viento llevo

Ultimo petalo tambien
Casi desaparecio con tu memoria
Pero inevitable mi corazon
Nunca olvidara to fragrancia
Siempre te conservara
Cuando un petalo caiga cerca de mi

There’s a way, there’s a way

It’s a cable bridge, brittle and diminishing

Still people keep crossing on
'Till those cables may finally brake


Some lose their lives, while others scared, head back
And just a few make it to
The land of freedom

It is beautiful, it’s enticing
Won’t you come risk your life for a dream?
Just keep on crossing, no matter if you lose your step

Keep on moving
Until those doors no longer show a crack

For those inside, those that live
With uncertainty

They will come to see
A change, a shift in fortunes

When judgments made, decision taken
Will determine how dreams unfold

We will see, we will see
If the blood, sweat, and tears
Running down our cheeks
Will endure the infinite fight

Beautiful life
Is not appreciated
By those who live it

Abundant freedom
Is overrated
By those who’ve always had it

Reigning Peace
Is overlooked
By those who wage a war to keep it intact

True Love
Is degraded
By cheaters and liars

But those who suffer through the horrors of the world
Cherish every small beautiful moment
Thinking that such incidents are scarce

Those who don’t have a say in the outcome of their live
Yearn to be released from their chains
While, others conformed but unhappy
Fail to know the full meaning of freedom

Those who live in oppression and fear
Wish it could be over, but some have never felt peace

Those who need someone to love them
Are left alone, trying not to give up the fight
But they just can’t seem to love themselves

Beautiful life
Beautiful life
Let them have a beautiful life.

— The End —
