Breath of Life 

Prisoner of your feelings,
Not being able to say what he feels... what he thinks,
Having to live with it forever...
Feelings of a lifeless life.
 

Prisoner of your feelings
Watching the hours go by, days, months, years,
The time... waiting for someday
Have the courage to change.
 

Prisoner of your feelings,
Suffering silently,
Dreaming of living a different life,
The life of your dreams.
 

Prisoner of your feelings,
Not being able to say what he feels... what he thinks,
Having to live with it forever...
Feelings of a lifeless life.

 

At home. Rio, 10.30.06
