1. I AM A ROCK 

The damage is done
A vision is broken
Silence is drawn
Words left unspoken
 
Patient and wild
You were there
A light out of darkness
You were an ocean
Of dreams aloud
 
I am a rock
I am a mirror
I am an island
I am a pilgrim
I walk for love and freedom
Like you
I am a rock
I am a mirror
I am an island
I am a pilgrim
I walk for love and freedom
 
Where do we go from here
Where do we go
Where do we go from here

I have a dream
When I grow old
I have a dream
To fix what is broke
 
I have love
I have intention
I have a dream
I have a dream
 
I have you
You have me
If you find pain
And if you struggle
When the tears come
To wash over your eyes
I will never leave you
For endless days and nights
 
I never knew
That we could be
Like silhouettes above the sea
 
I have wisdom in my heart
I have a blessing to give
I have a greatness to live
Just like anyone else
 
I have a dream
When I grow old
I have a dream
And it’s not only mine

3. DO OR DON’T 
 
Talk if you want to or don’t
I’ll still want you
Rain or shine, rain or shine
 
Smile if you’d like to, smile or don't 
I’ll still kiss you on the cheek
Just like that my sweet

All the joy that love can bring
It melts my heart to pieces
Still I sing for you
 
All the trouble that love brings
It melts my heart to pieces
Still I sing for you

So cry if you need to, cry or don’t
I’ll still hold you in my arms
In my arms
 
Cry if you need to or don’t
I’ll still love you, no I won’t
Go nowhere without you, without you
 
Cry if you need to or don’t
I’ll still hold you in my arms
In my arms 

4. JUSTINE

Once somebody told me
The past is stranger than fiction
But I didn’t listen to a goddamn word they have said
I’m not insane I’m just a little bit crazy lately
I’m not insane I’m just a little bit crazy now
Bout a girl who captured my heart
 
Justine, she never speaks
But she knows how to listen well
And inside her mind
She’s got many stories to tell
 
In a big blue sea of earthly creatures
She feels dusk blood orange today
So she tries to find her way to the next
Venus and Fortune
 
Justine we’re all gonna die someday
We’re just waiting on tomorrow
Come with me let’s catch the evening sunset
Before it gets to late
 
If you let your body do the talking
Your words become fiction
And inside your mind, inside your mind
so many stories to tell
And all the pathways to your little dreams
You keep missing out 

Justine we’re all gonna die someday
We’re just waiting on tomorrow
Come with me let’s catch the evening sunset
Before it gets to late


5. HURRICANE
 
Love is Like a Hurricane
It storms right in and takes you in
It’s bigger than the both of us
It’s heavy like star dust
It’s pure and sweet like honey…honey
It’s spring when summer’s bleeding
Autumn in the winter when it’s cold and raining…
 
And now, what do I do
When I’m not so close to you
I just think of you
I think of you
What do I do
 
You call me on the phone when you want to make love
Send me a message when you want to break up
Your breaking up
Look me in the face when you wanna kiss me
Send me on a chase hoping that you’ll miss me
And you’ll miss me
Cause I’m not around
No I’m not around
I’m not around so don’t come for me…
 
Love is like a walk on mars
Like a rocket made of stars
Engines rolling
Moonlight is falling
Falling down
But I’m not around
 
No I’m not around
No I’m not around so don’t come for me…

6. SAME TREASURED LAND
 
Words and letters
Like raindrops falling from the sky
I think I see you in my dreams
Always the same mountain
Try to reach up to the top
And I can’t explain
I know we’re walking on
The same treasured land
 
I was frozen
In time
I tried to speak my mind
But the words refuse to follow
I was blind
Reliving in the solemn past I thought I left behind
Till I was closer to find
 
Something in your eyes
Makes me feel alive
Alive like a kid
Something in the way you make me wanna fight
But I know that it’s not right
Here on top of the mountain
Fro here I can see it all
From the start to the end
We walk the same treasured land
 
I was frozen in time…
I was frozen in time…
 
7. OPORTO 

Rest assured
I’ll be your orchid
If you be my rose
I’ll never forget
Though you’re not so close
 
The distance breaks away
Like a ship left astray
Each day I’m just living
To find a good enough reason
To make it back your way
I’ll be back some day
 
Oporto
Volveré a su país un día pronto
 
A day in the life
A country full of pride
An artist on the rise
With a purpose to inspire
 
Oporto
Volveré a su país un día pronto

8. YOM YAVOH (A DAY WILL COME)

Yom Yavoh
Yom Yizrah
Ve Kan Yesh Rak Benataim
 
Vegam ze Yachalof
Kemo Chalom
Ei Sham Bashamaim
Yoohoo…
 
Tishaer Karov
Lelibi Ahuvati
Yesh Makom Leshaper
Ki Beyachad 
Beyachad Nitgaber
Yoohoo…
 
Le Kol Eileh 
SheYodiim 
Lekabel et Harega
Le Kol Eileh
SheYodiim 
Leshamer et Harega
Yoohoo…

Day will come
Day will rise
And here all we have is now
 
And this too shall pass
Like a dream
Somewhere in the sky
 
Stay close to my heart
My love
There is room for improvement
Together we shall overcome
 
To all those
Who know how to accept a moment
To all those
Who know how to preserve a moment

9. IN THE BEGINNING

In the beginning
Floods of lightning
Heavens clashing
Souls colliding
We are one
We’re all the same
 
Plant a seed
And watch it grow
So delicate
Wind and water
Thoughts that matter
Like souls apart
We go back to the start
 
Godspeed the rain
They say it’s coming to our land
Godspeed the light
They say it’s coming out of the dark


10. AHAVA (LOVE)

One for the money
two for the show
three to get ready
here I go
