What is love?
What is love I'm asking you
Have you felt it, could you describe it
Have you cried or started laughing
With the touch of someone's hand?
What is love, I want to know
Is it what I am now feeling
Why is it I can not explain it
If it's in every part of me
What is love, I'd like to know
So I can give words to my song
And when I sing them you'll remember
If you've ever been in love
Can you tell me what love is
Or should we not try to define it
Should we just let it surprise us
Like an unexpected gift
And maybe then we'll just enjoy
And get wrapped up in the feeling
And although we can not define it
It will fill us up with joy
So what is love, I'd like to know
So I can give words to my song
And when I sing them you'll remember
If you've ever been in love

My love will always find you
Wat’s the day
without the smile from the sun
What’s the night
without the light from the stars
What’s my life
Without you, my love by my side?
How would I know I am not in a dream
How would I find peace in my heart
How would I breathe
Without you, my love by my side?
Like the day follows the night
And shadows the light
My love will always follow you
Like the rain falls to the ground
And the stream runs to the sea
My love will always find you
What’s my song without you in its lines?
What’s my sleep without you in my dreams?
What are my arms
Without you to hold in the night?
Like a bird’s migrating flight
or an arrow searching it’s mark
My love goes straight to you
wherever you are
Like the day follows the night
And shadows the light
My love will always follow you
Like the rain falls to the ground
And the stream runs to the sea
My love will always find you

To find the light

To find the light
How could I find the words to explain?
Go deep in my mind to understand
How I feel and what I want with my life
Maybe I’m not so smart or so wise
To find the light
Is it that I expect far too much?
Am I looking for something I already have?
It’s not that I’m ungrateful, I am a lucky guy
But I want the purpose I once had
and walk a meaningful path
This is my wish
That my compass will show
Once more clearly the way
That I find the fire
To give my heart the passion it seeks
A voice to my soul
A spring in my step
To wish for days without end
Is the weight of the years to blame?
Or the marks left by things I have lived?
Is the cycle of seasons that says
After you plant you should sit and rest
Until it is time to plant once again
This is my wish... (bis)

Is love worth waiting for?
After all that I’ve lived
I wonder is love for me
is the pain to see it through
too much to pay for what I’ve got
Like the waves on the shore
I’ve seen love come and go
Laughter followed by tears
And my heart broken once more
Should I still believe
That one day i’ll find my true love
How can I resist
Another closing door
Another “I have to let you go”
How can I mend
The pieces of my broken dreams
How can I forget the sleepless nights
Trying to answer why, trying to answer why...
So I ask, once again
Is love worth waiting for
Or should I just be content
With the simpler things I can control
Have I been to naive
To think that love is for me
When it is a rare possession
Of the few that life has blessed
Should I still believe
That one day I’ll find my true love
How can I resist another closing door
Another “I have to let you go”
How can I mend
The pieces of my broken dreams
How can I forget the sleepless nights
Trying to answer why, trying to answer why...

Endless romance
The sun is going down
I listen to the waves I’m here with you...
I like it when you say you love me
And hold me close
I like it when we dance and you only see
One shadow on the wall
I like when the wind goes through you hair
The moon is in your eyes
Our lips meet in a kiss
Time seems to disappear
The stars are shining now
Your eyes are pulling
The string of my heart
I want this night with you to last forever
Until the end of time
I want to tell you a million things
Without saying any words
So close your eyes and I will take you
To places you have never been
The sky, your hair, your skin next to mine
La playa, tu risa, tu cuerpo mi cielo
I like it when you say you love me
And hold me close
I like it when we dance and you only see
One shadow on the wall
Oh baby dance with me tonight
Be with me to the end of time

If I look back

If I look back
If I look back I see the road
That brought me here to where I am
I see old friends and lovers past
I see the days that had no end
I can see the fences that I used to climb
and never being afraid of falling
I remember hitching mi wagon to the stars
never thinking how I would get back
If I look back I see I can choose
to bring the bad or bring the good
from the bad I got what I had to learn
and from the good the joy to try
And I did fall from fences and yes, I felt the pain
I’m still learning to choose the ones worth climbing
and my wagon took me to places faraway
never loosing sight of where I started
If I look back I see the road
That brought me here to where I am
I see old friends and lovers past
I see the days that had no end
I can see the fences that I used to climb
and never being afraid of falling
I remember hitching mi wagon to the stars
never thinking how I would get back

This Road
When I think of where I’m going
I remember where I’ve been
every place has left an imprint
that has helped me cope with change
If you ask “has it been easy?”
I would really have to say
every change has come with challenge
but I wouldn’t change a thing
Because this road has shaped me
and made me who I am
and I have learned with every turn
and come out stronger in the end
When I look at all the faces
of the friends I’ve made so far
and the friendships that are growing
I know I’ve won a prize
In the high and in the low times
at each facet of my life
it’s their helping hands and caring
that have gotten me this far
Because they too have shaped me
and made me who I am
and I have learned with every turn
and come out stronger in the end (bis)

Advice on love
Is it possible to give advice on love?
Can you really tell a heart what road to take?
Is it possible to feel somebody’s pain?
Or to say there’s always sunshine after rain
Is it possible at all to give advice on love?
Can you express with words alone what you’ve been through?
Can you share the laughs and tears you’ve shed along
Is it possible to give somebody else
The chance of knowing more about themselves
The way they do through love, the way they do through love
And I could give you a million quotes on love
But that will never be enough
And I could show you a million pictures
Of hearts, rainbows and embracing figures
But that will never be enough
To give you advise on love
Can you tell about the things that you can’t see?
Can you explain the reasons you don’t understand?
You can be self-assured but don’t know what to say
Be strong now and so fragile the next day
So can you give advise on love,
if you may need it for yourself?
And I could give you a million quotes on love… (bis)

Lines in my hand

The lines in my hand
Walking trough old Habana
An old lady said to me
For a little bit of your money
I will tell you all about your life
Señora, what is your name
I am Elda, let me see your hand
I showed her my palm
and asked how much I had to pay
And she said, It is not how much you pay
but if you really want to know what lies in your future
The past, you already know, the present is right here with me
and your future, only I know
I have to say she got me by surprise
but I found her words so wise
do I want to know my future
or should I make it one present at a time
So I took her hand and said
by barely looking at my hand
you just gave me precious advise
the kind that money just can’t buy
Well miss Elda you got me thinking
but I’ll let my future be unknown
come with me, let’s have a mojito
so you can tell me all about your life
With a smile she grabbed my arm
and said I know the perfect bar
and with her stories she took me back
to the presents she once had
It is not how much you pay
but if you really want to know what lies in your future
The past, you already know, the present is right here with me
and your future, only I know (bis)

What do you do?

What do you do
What do you do
If you are feeling blue
What do you do
When things don’t go the way you want
What do you do
If you are feeling lonely
What do you do
when the sun is out but you only see the clouds
Wouldn’t you like to know
how to turn the page
and let the clouds go by
Because it’s only you
who can decide
to leave the past behind
Forget about the things
you can’t control
and change the ones you can
What do you do
when you are feeling sorry
What do you do
with the things you said
or with the ones you held
What do you do
if you are feeling lost
What do you do
when there is no map
and you can’t find your north
Wouldn’t you like to know
how to turn the page
and let the clouds go by
Because it’s only you
who can decide
to leave the past behind
Forget about the things
you can’t control
and change the ones you can

What a life that would be
If I could listen more than I talk
If I could cool my head not my heart
If I could look ahead not behind
If I could leave my fears not my will
What a wonderful life that would be
How much joy to my heart it would bring
If I would speak if I have something to say
If I would laugh instead of just being upset
If I would hug instead of pushing away
and forget instead of dwelling on what hurts
What a wonderful life that would be
How much joy to my heart it would bring
What a life that would be
All I know is that I’m willing to try
And if I don’t I will miss
The chance to be what I can
Day by day and one step at a time
Knowing that sometimes I’ll fall
I want to walk down this road
If I could see instead of closing my eyes
If I could feel rather than turning to stone
If I could cry instead of hiding my tears
If I could dream but believe that it’s real
What a wonderful life that would be
How much joy to my heart it would bring
What a life that would be
All I know is that I’m willing to try
And if I don’t I will miss
The chance to be what I can

The world is going mad
Looking at what’s happening
around the world it seems
the world is going mad
Me above the We
Creed against religion
Color against color of our skin
The world’s going mad
How to tell what’s true
Who can give us answers?
If there are a million lying voices
Planning to live on Mars
Knowing we’ll kill our planet
The world is going mad, the world is going mad
So what to do, is there a solution?
How to work together not apart?
Memory seems to fade in a few years
And we forget what go us here
Has it always been the same
Or is it worse than ever
I guess human nature never changes
With the Right against the Left
And equally divided
We are paralyzed, and almost nothing ever happens
The world’s going mad
So what to do, is there a solution?
How to work together not apart?
Memory seems to fade in a few years
And we forget what got us here
Looking at what’s happening
around the world it seems
the world is going mad
