Dare to live



Try looking at tomorrow, not yesterday,
and all the things you left behind
all those tender words you did not say
the gentle touch you couldn't find
In these days of nameless faces
there's no one truth, but only pieces
my life is all I have to give
Dare to live! Until the very last
Dare to live! Forget about the past
Dare to live!
Giving something of yourself to others
Even when it seems there is
nothing more left to give

But if you saw on your doorstep
the man who sleeps in a
cardboard box,
if you were to listen to the world
one morning without the noise of the rain,
you, who can create with your voice,
you think the thoughts of the people, then, about God, there is only one God.

Nobody has ever taught us how to live,
to live is not possible without the past,
to live is beautiful even though you
never asked for it;
there will be a song
and someone to sing it.

Dare to live!
Searching for that one true love
Why, why, why, why
do you not live tonight?
Dare to live!
You know what I'm talking of
Why. why, why, why
do you not live now?
Dare to live!
Until the very last
Why, why, why?
Life is not life
Your life is all you have to give
Because you did not live it.
To live.
Dare to live!
Until the very last
Why, why, why?
Life is not life
Your life is all you have to give
Because you never lived it.
I will say no
I will say yes
Say dare to live!
Dare to live!
