Sing, sing (Albert Hammond, Juan Carlos Calderon, Anahi Van Zandwedhe) Lyrics as performed by The Brothers I want to be a sea port in the compass that you be back on course I want to be a place of peace and do not ever let you run Friend the world, my friend There is nothing to fear I'm with you And after the darkness Waiting for a new day is sing, sing, and that light at the end of the path as a shining sun that illuminates the whole world we are growing and if at last we hand we will always be a place for every human being will give you much I know I can sing for you And my song and my voice together with the other in the vastness is listening to sing, sing, and that light will shine at the end of the trail as a sun that illuminates the whole world we are growing and if at the end we will always be a hand to every human being I will sing, And you will sing a song will bring us together And our hopes and our prayers We will make them last forever sing, sing, and that light at the end of the trail will shine like a sun that illuminates the whole world we are growing more ... I walk beside you share bread punishment and hope I found in the heart There's always a corner that has not forgotten childhood friend (friend), friend (friend) There is so much to do has me sing, sing, and that light at the end the trail will shine like a sun that illuminates the whole world we are growing and if at the end we will always be a hand to every human being I would be able to help and change your destiny .
"We are the sum of the choices we made."
Love, because God is love! Joy
The lighting is a gift that surprises the indifferent. It is the result of continuous search for self and evolution. Even without guarantees of being achieved, is the only goal worth being tried.
Reflect on your motivation to take and hold. Can you share? You want to be one of our tyrants. To meet it, we are tempted to violate our essence, our true self.
Namaste
