Hard core
There's no goodness
without evil.
No happiness
without suffering.
We wouldn't know love
if there wasn't hatred.
We need to fight death
to feel alive.
We form ourselves
by squeezing through
fleeting openings
in the mass of resistance.
We would never figure out
that love is the only thing worth it,
without facing a current
of selfishness, betrayal
and disappointment,
eroding everything
that is not the hardest
and most durable of all,
right in the core of us.
without evil.
No happiness
without suffering.
We wouldn't know love

We would never figure out

Every possible way
Free will was unleashed
Right at the beginning.
There wasn't any other way.
You truly created
And you truly let go.
When freedom exploded
It took all of you along.
All your soul,
Exactly as you wanted.
You set the world in motion.
Not to control,
And not to command.
Just to let freedom grow.
When you created
You took a step beyond
What had been.
A place where everything had to belong.
I feel in awe
When I think that I was perceived
At the start of...
Right at the beginning.
There wasn't any other way.
You truly created
And you truly let go.
When freedom exploded
It took all of you along.
All your soul,
Exactly as you wanted.
You set the world in motion.
Not to control,
And not to command.
Just to let freedom grow.
When you created
You took a step beyond
What had been.
A place where everything had to belong.
I feel in awe
When I think that I was perceived
At the start of...

Transformation
Transform nothing
Into something amazing.
Liberate frozen souls of the world
By breaking into pieces
The deadly stalemate
Of good and evil.
Rebellion. Revolution. Explosion!
Introduction of love.
Giving freedom to things
To realise what they are
And melt their way out
Of the cage of order.
Love,
You create life. You uphold it.
Only you are eternal.
Only through you
We escape
To You.
We are everything
You invited to yourself.
We are the crest of a wave,
A giant heave of...
Into something amazing.
Liberate frozen souls of the world
By breaking into pieces
The deadly stalemate
Of good and evil.
Rebellion. Revolution. Explosion!
Introduction of love.
Giving freedom to things
To realise what they are
And melt their way out
Of the cage of order.
Love,
You create life. You uphold it.
Only you are eternal.
Only through you
We escape
To You.
We are everything
You invited to yourself.
We are the crest of a wave,
A giant heave of...

Invitation
You invited us
To create the soul of eternity
Letting us sparkle
In the dead darkness of reality.
You want us alive
So we must be free
To find who we are
And choose what we can be.
Saving the world
By saving our souls
Seeking, finding and living
The purpose that is yours.
To create the soul of eternity
Letting us sparkle
In the dead darkness of reality.
You want us alive
So we must be free
To find who we are
And choose what we can be.
Saving the world
By saving our souls
Seeking, finding and living
The purpose that is yours.

There You Were
You taught me
how prayer feels.
By gentle
persistence
on talking about what matters
you made me realize
there’s nothing
as cool
as calming
as soul-stirring
as much to be proud of
as admitting to myself
and to the world
that I speak to God
and He speaks back.
You shared with me
the privilege of seeking.
Knowing
that being able
to learn
how to live
and how to love
every day
a little bit better
and a little bit more,
is a grace
I could never ...

Fully aware
Love, you made me.
Love, you gave me freedom.
Love, you invited me to live forever,
if I choose.
Is it in loving life
that living becomes natural?
Does learning to love myself
lead to eternal life?
Life forever in love.
Let me see the blessings
coming my way.
Let me look you in the eye
and thank you.
Let me show you how much I mean it,
and see how much I mean to you.
Open my mind, take me by awe,
make me lose my words, but let me find the wonder
of million faces of...
