This is a song from La Oreja De Van Gogh

Soñare (translated)

I've always dreamed I could fly,
to open up my arms and not come down.
To know other places,
and the truths beyond.
I would sit on a cloud to rest,
drink from this freedom,
and let go.

I've always dreamed I could sleep
on a bed of seaweed and coral,
enjoy the silence,
reigning always there.
And to travel with dolphins
across endless seas
and never reach the end.

As the genius always said
this life is a dream, a dream.
as this genius always said,
this life is a dream and so I dream.

I've always dreamed I could create
a time machine and discover
the more distant future
where I'm not going to be.
I would fly back to my 21st century city
in a spaceship.

I dreamed that you can dream,
that you can draw a place in your mind,
where there are no mysteries,
no secrets or evil.
While walking one day I find
that nothing stays the same,
it all begins again,

As the genius always said
this life is a dream, a dream.
as this genius always said,
this life is a dream and so I dream.

As the genius always said
this life is a dream, a dream.
as this genius always said,
this life is a dream and so I dream.

To those who inspire me

Those with Wings

I see them all around,

the wings of angels,

the gleaming white feathers

of the heavenly ones around me.

They are my teachers,

my guides,

my mentors.

They are the ones who show me

how to truly be alive.

They gave me wings

and told me to fly.

They taught me to soar

and trust the winds to guide me.

They showed me true beauty

and let me know the meaning of peace.

They are the divine ones,

the trustworthy and friendly ones,

and those that always show they care.

They are the lovers,

the musicians,

the writers,

and the dreamers.

The best of friends,

the closest of family.

As we walk out into the light,

into what lies ahead,

we laugh

and we cry,

arm in arm we walk on

and those with wings

live forever more.

Its getting warmer outside...yay!

Angels

So many faces,

so many untold stories,

and a friendship that may last a lifetime

just waiting to be revealed.

When life knocks you down,

you may have a hard time getting back up,

but your true friends help you through it.

When you finally make it to the end

you see a side of those friends

that you may have never seen before,

you may have found something

that you never knew you had,

you may have seen a light

that you never knew was there for you.

Sometimes the smallest things

can change your life.

Maybe it was a conversation you had

with your closest friend

or a complete stranger,

you may have changed for the better.

You might even behold

the amaranth within.

What is it about you

that your friends admire the most?

Through all the hardships and sorrows

they still stick with you.

Have they seen the flower inside your heart?

Have they found beauty within?

When riding on the wings of angels,

when walking in the midst of heroes,

when seeing legends begin before your eyes,

you realize that there is always hope,

always a dream,

always a shining light to pierce through the clouds

and show the way to Paradiso.

Embracing the amaranth inside,

letting it blossom,

seeing the clouds clear,

feeling the sun’s warmth,

and spreading your wings

you can fly over mountains,

over valleys,

over rivers and oceans,

and you will finally truly appreciate

the angels who lifted you up

and taught you to fly.

To Alyssa - One Of Our Own

Never-Fading

You don’t know what you have until it’s gone,

or so it is said.

Little do we know

how painfully close that truth really is.

Getting caught up in world of today

and forgetting what is really important

is an easy thing to do,

Someone we love can just slip away

and never come back.

Looking back at such times

we think about many things

and look over our own lives

trying to find answers to impossible questions.

We remember the things we said,

and the things we should have said,

all the while knowing

that we would never have another chance

to make things right.

Yet,

I can’t help but think that we do.

We live very long lives

filled with many different experiences,

people come and go

and life goes on.

We keep on living

in hopes of seeing of seeing a better tomorrow

and finding the meaning in our own lives.

It’s more than that though,

as there are many hidden wonders in the world.

Many people live their lives

not knowing if they made a difference,

and we may not notice the ones who hold us dear.

Who keep going just to see us again.

If not for our sake,

then for the sake of those we have influenced

we will keep on living.

We may never be able to say we are sorry,

or say goodbye,

but we have been given a second chance.

The ones we love are still with us,

our friends are still here for us,

and life is still beating in us.

There is still time to say we are sorry,

to forgive,

and to make our peace

with those we care about.

Let this be a calling from the ones who have come before us,

so that someday,

when we come to the end,

we can have the peace of mind

knowing that we made a difference.
