The shadowed figure keeps looking
with confusion in his heart
He’s gazing through a window
With tears and a scar.

Freedom seems so far
deep inside in his heart
Fear confuse his emotions
and a tear brings him back.

He’s not willing to accept
the weaknesses within
He fights them with furor
but subsides in his quest.

Life is
the human road to existence...

Is what help us become
the person we want to be
the ideals we want to preach
it brings the fulfillment
of our words and dreams.

How can we live to the fullest
when obstacles constantly stumble us
it is just a matter of learning
the wisdom embedded on them
the core of its nature.

It is possible to go
beyond stagnation and helplessness
and reach a peak experience
of spiritual being and freedom.

If everybody walked the same road
and put their blended masks away
genuineness will subside
and change this world forever
the truth will speak
the vibrations will shake us
and we will finally be awakened
from this hypnotic state
of societal existence.

A sacred place
is like a sacred world
far from reality
and close to our innermost

It’s where the spirit dwells
It’s where the spirit dances
It’s where the spirit leaves you
and you take many chances.

There where the spirit dwells
the red road begins
and the heart is the key
for the journey to begin.

A sacred place is where you rest
from the reality of the breath
it's where we go
to be far from the rest
it’s where an incense burn out
and the spirit calms down
it’s where the soul blends
with the mind, body, and earth.

A sacred place is all you have
for the body to relax
for the mind to get knowledge
and the spirit to be calm.

It’s where we think and write
It’s where we get the light
It’s where we bury bad feelings
to get to the path of life.
