It sounded easy at first
When told I will grow up to be a man
As a kid I never knew how far the journey
The distance I had to walk through to get here
Coming home late from work
Exhausted yet able to spare some love
This and other sacrifices you made that can never die
I had the best gift any child could ever ask
Always supporting my dream since I was a little child
It is true there is no sacrifice without pain
I learnt to take responsibility for my actions
Grateful you allowed me in my youth to make mistakes
I realized the best place you can find love
Is laying in your arms at home
It didn't take me quite a while
To appreciate what it means to have a father's smile
You are there when I needed someone to talk you
Today I made a promise in my heart
To teach my kids never to despise God
To be patient, understanding, deciplined
Learn to forgive when been hurt
Life is sorounded with many stars
But a humble heart will shine even brighter
Thank you for not holding back your love

Oh baby sister
I can not believe you are gone
Last night I saw a falling star
Drifting away from the sky before dawn
In nature, we were opposite
Yet perfect together in every match
You were like a mother to me indeed
Always conscious of the things I need as much
First it was Ini, my beloved brother
I knew from that moment
My world came to an end before september
If not, how can I return back to sanity?
You knew I was ready to fight for you until the end
Why did you have to go without saying goodbye
Why did you had to let go my hand
I am as guilty as a murderer, watching you slip by
My regrets can not bring you out of the sand
Please allow me to wander endlessly
Is this the best life got to offer to a weary mind?
The moment you went away, I lost my insanity
This bring back pain to an already inflicted heart
Wish I could borrow your smile
Your smile is the only thing that makes me happy tonight
It is difficult for me, but I had to say goosbye

Last time when we were strolling together
I noticed the stars twinkling high above
I was jealous, my heart is very fond of you
You mean so much to me
I know life robbed you off a mother's love
Nothing in the world can ever replace that
I know what it feels to loss someone dear
It's like the world is falling apart
You are stronger than you think you are
Be bold, wipe away the tears from your eyes
That is the right thing she will want you to do
Did you noticed how amazing you look when you smile?
A day at a time, that is all it takes
If you need someone who truely care
I will be here offering my love for free
All I want is what is best for you
While you go to sleep tonight
Know that you can still find love
It is alright if you have nightmares
I will be here by your side to ease away the fear
