"Elements"
"Let's Be Aware"
I read a prayer, I sing a song, I chant a mantra ...
I give you love... That's how I know that love exists.
My Angel warned me once: "-Beware which door you enter...
Behind some doors, -he said-, you might become a beast!"
"Great Mother" told us to be kind to other "Children"...
She said they'll teach us how to gracefully forgive...
She mentioned also that we mustn't stop believing
That what WE ASK Her for - is what WE SHALL RECEIVE...
And on our quest to find what truly matters
Let's waste No time pursuing other people's dreams...
Let's trust No banners, selling lies in shining letters...
Not all the shine is really what it seems....
Not all the lights are good for us to follow,
Not every turn is there for us to make...
Not every heart is full... Some hearts are hollow...
Let's be aware of every step we take...
It seems to be so tough in the beginning...
But know that we are destined to succeed!
But first we must succeed as human beings,
By letting go of envy, wrath and greed...
When I'm FIRE - I'm PASSION, i burn!
So be careful when getting too close.
You are risking to never return
From the dream that you willingly chose.
When I'm EARTH - I am LIFE itself.
Taking care of your slightest needs.
Reuniting what's broken in half,
I shall heal every wound that bleeds...
When you try to ATTACK ME - I'm AIR.
All your efforts to hurt me will fail.
I decide for myself what's fair,
And my justice will always prevail !
When I'm WATER - I'm LOVE.. Behold!
Once You fall in the depths of my heart
And your soul starts to sing, truth be told,
You will never desire to part...
There are several forces of Life,
All uniting within me as one.
I'm your friend, i'm your lover and wife.
I'm your moonlight and i am your sun...
If you're a man of noble nature,
If you are wise and true in heart,
If you're not stranger to adventure,
And not afraid of working hard,
If you are caring and forgiving,
If you are confident and kind,
If you have never stopped believing
In finding love and in your mind
You cherish honesty, remaining
The man who doesn't wish to lie,
Who conquers fear with daily training
Of will, refusing to deny
His own mistakes, but rather taking
Responsibility for them
And for the choices he's been making
Approaching life like his exam....
If this is you - you have the power
To win my heart and make things right....
In highest room of tallest tower
I wait for you, my noble knight!
A fairytale, that seems as old as time,
A magic story... Innocent?... divine?..
What if there's more to stories than we're told?
So let us see, how it indeed unfolds....
Imagine that: a forest... starry night...
The moon is generously sharing sacred light.
It's very quiet, and the only thing we hear
Is someone running through the forest somewhere near...
Steps getting closer... and we make a fist...
We see a maiden, followed by the beast.
She grabs a knife, then turns around and stops...
The smell of danger fills the air up... Wolf attacks!
... He's simply hungry...She just wants to live...
She has a knife.. He's got his claws and teeth...
The game is fair.. The fight is to the death.
She screams... He stares... And gives her his last breath...
The silent forest, suddenly alive.
She looks around, still holding bloody knife...
Alone she stands in dark enchanted woods,
While bright red stains have covered riding hood....

"Our Love Shall Be Our Shield"
"No Fear"
It feels like we are walking on the edge
And one of us is always falling down,
We're brought together by the promise that we've pledged,
To catch each other... So we've never reached the ground...
So far - so good... we play it by the ear...
We take step forward, one step back and to the side...
I call it dancing... Dance with me my dear !..
To honor you i sacrifice my pride...
I'll fight my ego to protect your loving heart...
I'll smile and keep my sadness unrevealed...
Who knows, what if we'll never fall apart?..
In cruel reality our love shall be our shield...
When your fear becomes your courage,
Doubts are lost, but will remains...
When You empty long time storage
Of the things that caused you pain...
When You're running free and wild,
Making choices on your own.
Still in touch with inner child,
Yet it shows how much You've grown...
Then You enter your tomorrow
Unafraid of highs and lows,
Letting go of all the sorrow
And enjoying letting go...
