My Youth

Sitting alone under a Takamaka tree
I’m just gazing at something
I’m thinking about my childhood
And about my future
I’m thinking how my life
Would be tomorrow

Will my life be more wonderful like today?
Will I still past my past laughing
And sharing jokes
With my friends

By looking through the sea
My minds are telling me something
Do you what?
Yes, it is about my youth
About my future
About my views
About my fantasies

Fighting for me to become
What I want to be
By looking at the past
How my life was until today
Yesterday has already die
Today is here
And tomorrow will it come or not

Deep in my heart I know
If I try hard I will succeed
From now on all I need is
Self-confident, hope, faith and courage
Yes, that’s all I need to lead me to my destiny

This Is How Isee My Life

Sitting down under a Takamaka tree
My eyes are gazing at something
But What?
Yes, I'm gazing at the horizon
Thinking about my youth
Thinking about my childhood
How my life was until now
Each page I turn
Makes me feel happy
This is how I see my life
Above all the things I've done
Your love for me never fail
You love me even with my faults
Love that you have invest in me
Nothing or no one can ever pay for it
Even if there'smaybe timesi've crossed the line
You still forgiveme and love me still
You tought me how to be a better person
You tought me good values
Today and forever
I am and will remain
The happiest girl in the world
And my parents are blame
