Who am I to think
that grinding in this life would be so easy
But I kept on believing
it was just a matter of integrity
I watched my dreams being ruined
and every chance of falling down was being there for me
Won’t you help me find a way to move
But you have made important steps so far
you can’t just quit and feel like giving up,
you know it’s kind of insignificant
Cause man oh, can’t you see
it ain’t no time to sleep
You have the right to feel so deep
but what the heck you think
having this kinda state of mind
won’t get you anywhere
What if you deal with it,
and just try to move your feet
(I just) keep on losing faith, everything falls back in life
No no, it’s just a step to move you on babe
Tryin’ to hold on
I’ll keep you strong
But every time you feel there is no path
you just complain that circumstances in your life
were not that kind of generous
And that you deserve to feel,
some acceptance by any means
Acting like this is not the key
you’d be a fool if you couldn’t see
that your perception is misleading you in every way
You need to move things on,
rather trying to hold on
(I just) keep on losing faith, everything falls back in life
No no, you can’t just quit and let things go babe
Tryin’ to hold on
Keep moving on

Those times I recognize
some thoughts I can’t escape
Like I’m in a world of lies, I open my eyes
to exit this debate
Stuck in the middle of this endless chase
As I’m always trying to erase,
to go past this spirit
(But) always the same
Dark has a way to absorb me
It lives in you
Hope has its own to surpass
By going through
And though I am trying my best to avoid me
To overcome
I still look the same through the glass
I now realized
this point of no return
As I try to compromise,
hide the regret and disguise
My ego seems to burn
I have been trying so long to forget
those emotions that I can’t neglect
there I go in shadow
again and again
Dark has a way to absorb me
It lives in you
Hope has its own to surpass
By going through
And though I am trying my best to avoid me
To overcome
I still look the same through the glass

Hard times keep on coming
never thought of giving up
no matter what has
come on my way
And when things get to feel so difficult
breathe in it's fine
rise and shine
fear does not fit the frame
Cause I'm winnin', with my persistence and my drive
by guiding myself into a deeper state of mind.
All kinds of bad vibes no longer here for me,
'cause evolution sets the standards and my spirit will be free.
Time flies if you are adsorbed on smart devices,
smart enough so that stupidity of people rises
Encourage yourself, and always show respect
Motivate be grateful and your visions you will project
Something that you want, you gotta keep it strong
No matter if you stumble and fall
I say hey, no matter what it takes
Just keep believing
It's something that you want, a chance of moving on
No turnin' back just focus on your goal
There's always a better way
So just keep believing
Inspiration can be stifled in this everyday madness,
people lose the right to dream, there's depression and sadness
Toxic people are lurking to abuse your mentality, kill your creative vibe, mislead
you in this society.
Don't worry if someone talks
just think outside the box
Goals and aspirations that you keep underneath
will rise as your passion feed them
find ground to grow your seeds
You know you came that far
Because you raised the bar
Dedication, hard work, is the only way to go
the time is now let's get it, be free and let's flow.
Something that you want, you gotta keep it strong
No matter if you stumble and fall
I say hey, no matter what it takes
Just keep believing
It's something that you want, a chance of moving on
No turnin' back just focus on your goal
There's always a better way
So just keep believing

Let me take you to a trip, let your spirit set free
no need for you to move around physically.
The procedure will be quick, just provoking a mind shift
the only way to elevate you mentally
Shall I tell you what it takes for a significant change
no it isn't just a matter of perception
Grab the chance, evaluate, appreciate your life
and please accept you need to take a new direction
The road of freedom will be blocked if you don't take risks
and if you 're up for just a short term security
out of your comfort zone see how you exist
see how life unfolds in this new reality
Transition is a phase of reformation and change
you wanna break the chains, please try to increase your range
Man, I know you 're feeling strange, but you need to exchange
that overwhelming misery for psychological gains
Life is just a gift, provided by nature
flowing in streams of time and in many formations
but if you keep on spending time on the closer destinations,
you won't have the fuel to experience greater sensations
Every change they say, that happens for a reason
don't consider it's your fate, it's 'cause you have chosen to
Step by step you walk to enter a new season
don't you worry it's not late, keep on what you have to do
The new era and beyond
Just visualize yourself, as new edition of yourself,
new formation through time.
Try experience, appreciate
and try to elevate this spiritual state you are now
It’s mental.
Step into life, leavin’ behind, what is to blame
Turnin' the game, taking control, or wasting it all
No drawing back, no matter what, just focus on
keep moving on, find your way to go on

Could have more to say, by the way
as words tend to fail
they won’t make a difference, deliverance
you know it won’t come your way
not today
So what decision is to make…?
Have you ever tried, or are you so blind?
In any case you feel so small
It’s your wake up call
Just like it was, long time ago
Thought that you changed, but stayed the same
Thought that you were true in(side)
Who ya think you’re foolin’
I can see you crawlin’
Better keep on rollin’
Now you see, you’re not free
and some thoughts are aching
However, believe it, you need it
But the more you stay, there’s a price to pay
your behavior starts to break
Just admit is fake
It’s a relief, no disbelief
Thought that you changed, but stayed the same
Thought that you were true in(side)
Who ya think you’re foollin’
I can see you crawling
Better keep on rollin’
Every time you wander
Knowing there’s no wonder
There’s a bond to break it
(Or) Fake it till you make it

Here I am, about to fall into the circle
I thought that I’ve come through
I know this ain’t no startle
If there’s a way
then someday
it will feel
like I was dreaming
And all this chase
a constant race
shall it be
more than redeeming
I still can’t escape it
It feels like I’m drowning even more inside a loop
Touching ground, going round and round
Trying to set myself around
And every door I trynna open
Every single step I take
it feels so small, a free fall
as I’m leading to a wall
If there’s a way
then someday
it will feel
like I was dreaming
And all this chase
a constant race
shall it be
more than redeeming

Lately, I’ve been listening to my dreams
in slow motion when I’m falling
But I know, it ain’t nothing like it seems
cause baby I’m flying
Maybe we’re all floating on air
just tryin’ to get somewhere
through these hard times, gotta keep on living
finding a way to feel alive and persevere
Gotta believe that we can make it through
Gotta believe no matter what we do
No it doesn’t matter what they say
Say we always gonna find, always gonna find a way
When all the skies turn gray
and there’s no more to say
When hope has gone astray
we will find a way
Come on, come on, come on baby
We need to find a way
You need to find the way
Gotta believe that we can make it through
Gotta believe no matter what we do
No it doesn’t matter what they say
Say we always gonna find, always gonna find a way
