The Face of the Past
The face of the past
I left few steps
In my life unsettled
Cos I got to move on
Yes keep moving
Was the motivation
Always from the lips
Of those that love me
The face of the past
In my young youth
I sworn never to be poor
Despite I grew up in such
A community and that
Was the ultimate motivation
Every were I go
I believe I was born for change
Despite the few chances
I see but always
I remember my personal oath in life
And each time I hear my love ones
Say keep moving
That always is a fresh power
To my destiny
The face of the past
I keep moving
I kept my light up
Cos always I fall to
Challenges of life
And honestly
I defeat some
I win some
I let some be
And those I let be always
Never let me be
Their recalls keep bringing me to
The face of the past
