Zambo (Spanish: [ˈθambo] or [ˈsambo]) or Cafuzo (Portuguese: [kɐˈfuzu]) are racial terms used in the Spanish and Portuguese Empires and occasionally today to identify individuals in the Americas who are of mixed African and Amerindian ancestry (the analogous English term, considered a slur, is sambo). Historically, the racial cross between African slaves and Amerindians was referred to as a 'zambaggoa', then 'zambo', then 'sambo'. In the United States, the word 'sambo' is thought to refer to the racial cross between a black slave and a white person.
The meaning of the term "Sambo" however is contested in North America, where other etymologies have been proposed. The word originated from the Romance and Latin language. The feminine word is Zamba (not to be confused with the Afro-Brazilian Samba folk dance or Samba music, or with Argentine Zamba folk dance, although there is some relationship in the concept).
Under the casta system of Spanish colonial America, the term originally applied to the children of one African and one Amerindian parent, or the children of two zambo parents. During this period a myriad of other terms denoted individuals of African / Amerindian ancestry in ratios smaller or greater than the 50:50 of zambos: "Cambujo" (Zambo/Amerindian mixture) for example. Today, zambo refers to all people with significant amounts of both African and Amerindian ancestry, though it is frequently considered pejorative.
Gabriela Mistral (1889–1957) was the pseudonym of Lucila Godoy Alcayaga, a Chilean poet, educator, diplomat, and feminist who was the first Latin American to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, in 1945. Some central themes in her poems are nature, betrayal, love, a mother's love, sorrow and recovery, travel, and Latin American identity as formed from a mixture of Native American and European influences. Her portrait also appears on the 5,000 Chilean peso bank note. Mistral herself was of Basque and Aymara descent.
Mistral was born in Vicuña, Chile, but was raised in the small Andean village of Montegrande, where she attended the Primary school taught by her older sister, Emelina Molina. She respected her sister greatly, despite the many financial problems that Emelina brought her in later years. Her father, Juan Gerónimo Godoy Villanueva, was also a schoolteacher. He abandoned the family before she was three years old, and died, long since estranged from the family, in 1911. Throughout her early years she was never far from poverty. By age fifteen, she was supporting herself and her mother, Petronila Alcayaga, a seamstress, by working as a teacher's aide in the seaside town of Compañia Baja, near La Serena, Chile.
I always wanted to be here, never felt anything in the
way for me
Until you kept me stuck here, I'll validate my strength
despite of you
Never felt I would fall in line, never felt I would be
what I am not
Never wanted to change what I was, never wanted to
I never wanted to do this, I'll tell you how I became
less equal
Stop making excuses, just treat me as you would treat
yourself
Never felt I would fall in line, never felt I would be
what I am not
Never wanted to change what I was, never wanted to
I'm not sorry about it, I'm not sorry about it
Never gonna change
I'm not sorry about it, I'm not sorry about it
You keep saying the same things, you missed the point
again and again again
I never wanted to tell you, just accept we were born more
equal
Never thought I would fall in line, never thought I would
be what I am not
Your eyes are like the oceans,
They swallow down into the deep
You'd leave me breathless at the bottom of the sea
I have cold hands, but a warm heart...
As I'm submerged in a smile, it's your greatest work of
Please let me treasure your smile before the waves break
me apart
I need clarity of lonesome days
The simple times of new found friends
It's a contradiction, no where to go
No triumphant return no place back homeward
I'll only do it the same way
I'll always do it the same way back
I've got nothing left to prove and I'm never looking back
I need solitude of things I don't know
The people that I meet and the places I'll go
It's a contradiction no turning back
I will think about it, I will talk about it,
But I will never know, and I will never know
It's been 10 years, since I started on, the path to this
Sometimes, I wait for hours
And it is not enough
I'll just keep waiting
So the sound, that I hear is enough to keep me sane
And I'll take, all I can
Take me down, to a place i remember
And it is all I need
I know, this won't last forever
I know, this can't last forever
You will go
You won't know
This is the mess I made and never wanted you to know
These things I'll never say but always wanted you to know
This is the mess I made.
I know I will try forever
I know I'm in this forever
You will go
It feels like I'll never be the same
I want to live this way
Empowered to the end
To change the way you see
It feels like I'll try to find a way
To always live this way
The power in my hand
Will change the way you feel
Try fixing this, you'll never find a way
If I wish for bad weather then you wouldn't have to go
But I know this is what you need and that you should grab
it all
Now I know it is time to accept it, never think you're
alone
Being sure of who you are is the thing that keeps you
Leave with nothing, return with less
The one lonely keepsake is the spinning in my head
You let me down, time and time again.
I always make the same mistakes.
A wave from the platform as the carriage pulls away was a bit too much to ask.
She got lost along the way
Nowhere left to go
And no one else to blame
Everything inside held dear
I want to know, baby
What are we doing here
She got lost along the way
Sorry things went wrong
What else was he to say
Everything inside was new
And you should know, baby
Every thought is of you
Everything will be alright and beautiful
But she deserved a little more
We got lost along the way
Even though it's gone
Her spirit still remains
We were young and thought that we
Could find the time for our baby
Someday I hope to see
Everything will be alright and beautiful
But she deserved a little more
How can we find another
Girl don't make me try
I want to know just how it all began
How can we have another
Girl don't make me try
I wonder just how it all began
How it all how it all began
She got lost along the way
Nowhere left to go
And no one else to blame
Everything inside held dear
I want to know, baby
What are we doing here?
Everything will be alright and beautiful
And she deserved a little more
How can we find another?
Girl don't make me try
I want to know just how it all began
How can we have another?
Girl don't make me try
I wonder just how it all oh how it all began
Someday I want to find
Others I leave behind
And for a second or two
We can work it out somehow
Out somehow
Some days I want to try
Others just pass me by
And for a second or two
We can work it out somehow
Everything I've done for you
Helped you take your life less seriously sometimes
Gonna leave it up to you
Don't throw it all away
Some days I want to see
Others aren't clear to me
And for a second or two
We can work it out somehow
And for a second or two
There's always something new
We can work it out somehow
Are you my brother
Are you the one
Aren't you my brother
We will find a happy place in time
Where people can collide
And share their thoughts and recognize
That we will be if we listen to the trees
Now it's time to put the past behind
And simply draw a line
That won't be crossed or redefined
And we will be if we listen to the trees
So get up off your knees
I'm begging you to please
Watch the falling leaves
Don't eliminate the face
At such a timely pace
To wash the human race
So we can listen to the trees
We will find a safer place in time
Where children learn to try
To save the colors of the sky
And we will be if we listen to the trees
So get up off your knees
I'm begging you to please
Watch the falling leaves
Don't eliminate the face
At such a timely pace
To wash the human race
So we can listen to the trees
And we will be
We will be
We will be
(G. Kralj)
As time draws nearer
I turn the final page
Though my life becomes clearer
I turn to you as I watch it fade away
We used to have so much -- have so much
I thought we had it all -- had it all
I reached for things I could no touch
I turn to you as I watch myself fall
I will find a better place a different time
We will climb to a high
So listen to my goodbye
Today I will sing a new song
Tomorrow learn to carry on
The fountain of time won't drag you down
So listen to life's sweet sound
Now my life's become clearer
I write the final page
Though the end it draws nearer
I turn to you as I watch it slip away
I will find a better place a different time
We will climb to a high
So listen to my goodbye
Today I will sing a new song
Tomorrow learn to carry on
The fountain of time won't drag you down
So listen to life's sweet sound
Today
Tomorrow
The fountain of time
Life's sweet rhyme
Listen everything is okay
(G. Kralj, D. Kralj)
Fear me now
I'm crawling back to you
Understand your decency invades my brain
I will find another place inside that's warm
You will see my blood upon a stranger's hand
Hear me calling
Catch me girl I'm falling
Down upon my knees
Someday I will find you
And conceive you
But for now we are tired anyways
Hear Him speak and whisper words so insincere
Leave me now I understand the things you've done
Sun go down
Let the dawn arrive
Why am I afraid?
Maybe I should give this up
Something so saced,
maybe I should keep untouched
I'm trying not to hate
myself for what I love,
and I cannot deny what I've... become
If I could stop awhile
Haven't had a love a while
Something so fragile
I'm trying not to hate
myself for what I love
and I cannot keep running from
the things I have become... what I've become
(Chorus)
You were my mistake, I was curious
I thought I'd find a way to love someone I couldn't trust
You were my mistake, forgive me but it's over now
I know it's time to throw this all away
So I'm looking for the things I need to save
I'm trying not to hate
myself for what I love
and I cannot keep running from
the things I have become... that I've become
(Chorus)
(na, da, etc... chant)
You were my mistake, I was curious
I thought I'd find a way to love some, to love someone I couldn't trust
You were my mistake, forgive me but it's over now
Took the last train through the cold rain
Couldn't live with leaving you this way
Since you've been gone nights seem so long
Days barely go by
Still on my mind was the last time
When I left you I never told you why
Sometimes the hardest part
Is for you to love what you've got
I'm done complaining
This time I'll be right here patiently waiting
So don't shut me out
When I need back in
You know all that I want is a chance to start over again
When I walked in you were leaving
I came home to this empty feeling
What can I say
Am I too late to make you turn around
Tears on your face tell the story
Is it too late for me to say I'm sorry now
I'm not here wanting more
Just the way that you loved me before
When all else is fading
I will be right here patiently waiting
So don't shut me out
When I need back in
You know all that I want is a chance to start over again
And I won't give up until you give in
And all that you want is to start all over again
Without you here
I don't know who I am
And all I fear is your heart won't let you love me again
Don't shut me out
When I need back in
You know all that I want is a chance to start over again
And I won't give up until you give in
And all that you want is to start all over again
All over again
All over again (I'll be all right)
All over again (I'll be all right)
All over again
All over again (We'll be all right)
If you give me one more try
I promise you I'll get it right
Sheryl
Wants to be a star
She will not go over
Everybody wants to throw her down
She fell into a great divide
Found a friend in jesus
Walking by her side
By her side
Oh just let her go (let her go)
Everybody wants (let her go)
Everybody needs (let her go)
Everybody wants
Everybody wants
What everybody has
Everybody wants
What everybody has
oooh oh oooh
Just let her go (let her go)
Everybody wants (let her go)
Everybody needs (let her go)
I want to feel
You and I
what matters here
Anymore
Oh let her go
the way it was, the way it is
i don't think much about it
i've tried too hard
to redefine the things in life i want
if you could live inside of me
i don't think you would like it
you're much to late to appreciate
all the things i have lost
i'm stuck in the heart of this
i know in that in time
i'm the one you'll miss
and i don't give a damn what you think about me
the things i've said and done
i don't give a damn what you think about me
the things i have become
if i would bend i'd break in two
i'd rather feel unwanted
you're much too late to appreciate
everything i have become
i've found a better place
you can't come in
so get away
i'm stuck in the heart of this
i know in that in time
i'm the one you'll miss
and i don't give a damn what you think about me
the things i've said and done
i don't give a damn what you think about me
the things i have become
on and on and on and on
(D. Kralj, G. Kralj)
What kind of fool would treat you like he does
What kind of man would answer with because
So here I am alone and in between
So here I am
What kind of fool would trip across this line
What kind of man would leave his soul behind
To hear her say the words she doesn't mean
To hear her say those lies
She falls into the waters edge
We call to say she's wasting time
What kind of fool would throw you to the ground
What kind of man would lose what he has found
So here we are alone until the end
So here we are
I want to know
I wonder who you are
I want to find out
What you're after
Hearing your voice
Hearing those lies again
Watching you fall
(G. Kralj, D. Kralj)
Paranoia may destroy the things in life you love
Is there some kind of situation going down
Sunday driver please retire from the road you're on
I there another way to travel
Everybody wants to hear his voice drown out the fear
Everybody loves to lie
Storyteller reconsider did you see him there
Or was it just his picture hanging on the wall
Politician refuse to listen to the truth you hear
Will another dollar help to set him free
Everybody wants to see their face on MTV
Everybody loves to lie
Until we all fall down
And then we'll finally figure it out
Sunday driver baby
Story tellere maybe
Paranoia may destroy the things in life that you love
But by now are gone -- gone gone gone
There's no other way
Everybody wants to find a place where they can hide
Everybody loves to lie
Until we all fall down
And then we'll finally figure it out
Try to let it all hang out
And then we'll finally figure it out
(G. Kralj)
You decorated my soul
You took everything that I ever wanted to know
You made me compromise
I made you feel alive
I don't understand
I let you be the man
You told me that I was worthless or was it a lie
I was alive
Inside of you I died
I cannot explain
The beauty of my pain
How can I believe
With everything I feel
You tell me that I am worthless or is it a lie
All lies
Deliver me within
Or tell me where you've been
I will not go down so easily
You devastated my soul
You took everything that I ever wanted to know
I cannot control the way I feel
She said won't you play with something real
I was different from the others boys
Always watching, never wanting more
I cannot control the things I do
She said won't you come I wanted to
Taken to another place in time
Never felt this good or been so high
Is it any wonder what we are doing here
You cannot control this anymore, my dear
Is it any wonder what we are doing now
You cannot control me anymore
Tried to live without you for a while
And I can now control you with a smile
Tried to live my life just for a while
And I can now control you with a smile
I cannot control the way I feel
She said all of this was never real
I am no different than the other boys
I will leave you never wanting more
Is it any wonder what we are doing here
You cannot control this anymore, my dear
Is it any wonder what we are doing now
You cannot control me anymore
Tried to live without you for a while
And I can now control you with a smile
Tried to live my life just for a while
Torn down trampled on
Surrounded
Surrounded
Thrown out left behind
And blinded by your beauty
So if you wanna believe in anything
You know that you can believe in me
'Cause you'll never find me in somebody else
No you'll never find me in somebody else
No you'll never find me in somebody else
You better believe this much is true
Let go all alone
I'm busted
I'm busted
Without torn apart
And hungry from desire
So if you wanna believe in anything
You know that you can believe in me
'Cause you'll never find me in somebody else
No you'll never find me in somebody else
No you'll never find me in somebody else
You better believe this much is true
You better believe it's true
I will not go down
I will not go down
I'll show you what you've found
I'll show you what you've found
I'll show you what you've found
You can take everything you need from me
And you can let me be what you're offering
But will you wanna believe in me
'Cause you'll never find me in somebody else
No you'll never find me in somebody else
No you'll never find me in somebody else
You better believe this much is true
And you'll never find me in somebody else
No you'll never find me in somebody else
No you'll never find me in somebody else
You better believe this much is true
You better believe this much is true
You're the one who's sorry
I'm the one who gives a damn
Happily ever after I am
I never saw you falling
Why was I the last to know?
You could have held on tighter
Instead of letting go
You said you believed in yesterday
Then why did you throw this away?
You don't need me anymore
You don't understand everything I am
This is what I need to be
You can run away
But you'll understand
When I find this part of me
You're the one who faltered
Is this how it had to end?
Every day I wonder how to begin again
You said you believed in yesterday
Then why did you throw this away?
You don't need me anymore
You don't understand
Everything I am
This is what I need to be
You can run away
But you'll understand
When I find this part of me
Why did you throw this away?
How could you throw this away?
You don't need me anymore
You don't understand
Everything I am
This is what I need to be
You can run away
But you'll understand
When I find this part of me
You don't understand
Everything I am
This is what I need to be
You can run away
But you'll understand
When I find this part of me
Every day and night I am happy
Yeah it's out of sight
She can see me
When I see the light I am happy
Yeah it feels so right
She can touch me
Every night I follow her
She takes me far away to another world
She takes me deep inside
She takes me for a ride
When I watch it fly I am lonely
Afraid to say goodbye
She won't hurt me
When time passes by I am lonely
Falling from the sky
She will catch me
She's out of sight the way she moves
The things she does to make me happy
She is out of sight
She's out of sight the way she moves
The things she does to make me happy
She is out of sight
Every day and night I am happy
Yeah she's in my sight
Why can't she see me
When I see the light I am happy
Yeah it would feel right
If she could touch me
She takes me deep inside
She takes me for a ride
She's out of sight the way she moves
The things she does to make me happy
She is out of sight
I've seen your face many times before
When I was lost you opened the door
You gave me hope when I had nothing else
I've heard your voice inside my head
Lifting me up with all that you've said
You gave me strength when I had nothing left
When I leave this life I'm coming
I'm coming home to you
What I leave behind is nothing
'Cause nothing compares to you
I've looked in your eyes
I've seen how you shine
Through darkest days you were my light
You gave me love I know will never end
When I leave this life I'm coming
I'm coming home to you
What I leave behind is nothing
'Cause nothing compares to you
When I leave this life
When I leave this life
When I leave this life
Won't you tell me your story
Your fall from grace
How you came to this place
Tell me what you're doing here
All your thoughts and all your fears
If there's nowhere left to go then there's something you should know
If you're falling you're not the only one
If you're blinded stop staring at the sun
I'm calling out to you because you're reaching out to me
And I wanted you to know
You're extraordinary
You're not ordinary
Are you trying hard enough to be all that you can be
If you're scared and lonely then you're feeling just like me
You only get one life to live so how's it gonna be
You keep waiting for something to fall from the sky
Give you any reason why
You're not where you want to be
If there's nothing left to see
Tell me what you're looking for
'Cause I know you're wanting more
If you're hurting you're not the only one
This is no ending your life has just begun
I'm calling out to you because I know you're listening
And I wanted you to know
You're extraordinary
You're not ordinary
Are you trying hard enough to be all that you can be
If you're scared and lonely then you're feeling just like me
You only get one life to live so how's it gonna be
When you start to see that everything you need is falling into reach
Now trust in me
I need you to believe
You're extraordinary
You're not ordinary
Are you trying hard enough to be all that you can be
If you're scared and lonely then you're feeling just like me
You only get one life to live so how's it gonna be
(You are so extraordinary) So how's it gonna be
(I know in your life you're reaching out to me so long) So tell me how's it gonna be
(Right, if you're feeling scared and lonely)
You got so much to give
coo coo da coo coo coo da coo shay

She skipped along the way
A silicone smile
Was stapled to her lips
A thirsty boy he was his name
And on a straw he sucked
(humming)
The young loser's love song
On the radio
Hear him cry out loud
Dizzy cause someone's high in the sky
Showed they were right
You don't love me
Love me, right now
You don't know me
Know me, right now
They found a heart shaped world
Filled with dreams
Were happy as two fleas
They walked on clouds and
The radio made this haven home
You don't love me
Love me, right now
You don't know me
Know me, by now
coo coo da coo coo coo da coo shay
I know how it feels to be where you are
To fall down reaching for the stars
And I know how it feels to be misunderstood
You did the best you can
You did all you could
And there is more to your life than waiting here
For me to make up my mind
Yeah there's more to your life than waiting here
You're wasting all your time
I want to set you free
There's so much that I'm wanting you to see
Set you free
There's so much that I'm wanting you to be
An open ended road that you've been walking on
There's so much more to life
I'm not the only one
Some other love to wrap your arms around
Another hand to hold whenever you fall down
And there is more to your life than waiting here
For me to make up my mind
Yeah there's more to your life than waiting here
You're wasting all your time
I want to set you free
There's so much that I'm wanting you to see
Set you free
There's so much that I'm wanting you to be

You know I won't lead you wrong
Come on and tell me
Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you need me

My beautiful young lady
Won't you come run far away with me

If you tell me now
If you tell me now
If you tell me now
If you tell me now
Today is a good day
To start all over again
I finally picked up all the pieces
That we tore and scattered in the wind
You know my love is still here
It never went too far away
So many feelings heard so clear
I've been waiting for a chance to say
I never should have said goodbye
I'll tell you why
You built me up
To set me free
When my heart hit the ground
You were right there for me
You gave me life
And now I believe
Everything that I loved
was right in front of me
... All because of you
Tonight is my last chance
To never let you get away
Just my beautiful disaster
And your love can never be replaced
It's been such a long time
I never should have said goodbye
I'll tell you why
You built me up
To set me free
When my heart hit the ground
You were right there for me
You gave me life
And now I believe
Everything that I loved
was right in front of me
After all that's been said and done
After all that's been said and done
You´re still my only one
After all that's been said
It's been a beautiful disaster
You built me up
To set me free
When my heart hit the ground
You were right there for me
You gave me life
And now I believe
Everything that I loved
was right in front of me
It's been a beautiful
disaster
Only you build me up
It's been a beautiful
disaster
You're what matters
All that matters
Do you understand
Your problem?
I've been weightless
Waiting for this
Let me be the one to help you
Oh claire
I see someone trying to hold on
To what they've become
And all I want to be
Is here
Right now
All you've wanted
Lost and needed
Will be waiting here
Beside you
Oh claire
I see someone wanting to hold on to
What they've become
And all I want to be
Is here
Right now
And everything to me
Is here
Right now
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah
I'm drowning
Well I'm reaching out to you
The feeling you wanted
Is right there in front of you
And yesterdays promise
Don't mean anything to you today
When you keep drifting far away
All I want to be
All I want to be
All I want to be
All I want to be
I fell and watched it get away from me
And I know every reason I was left behind
The easy part was knowing
The hardest part was saying it out loud
I let you down
Ashes to ashes
You broke down
And I picked up the pieces you left here
And now there's nothing left here
To remind me of you
It's all true
Far from the place I used to call my home
I celebrate
This is my holiday from you
Where every thought's a moment
And every moment finds a way to fade
A mistake
Ashes to ashes
You broke down
And I picked up the pieces you left here
And now there's nothing left here
To remind me
Ashes to ashes
You broke down
And you left me to pick up the pieces
And now there's nothing left here
To remind me of you
It's all true
I'm done with you
Two o'clock on a Friday morning
Heard a voice thought I heard the phone ring
I was hoping it was you
Looked outside and I saw it raining
Saw a face and it started fading
slowly into view
If time could just stand still
I wouldn't let you walk away
I'd find the words I'm meant to say
All my life I've waited for one love that I can fall into
And every line of every song I hear reminds me of when I first saw you
When I saw stars
There were days that I watched you sleeping
I wondered what you were dreaming
I hope you know you're not alone
If time could just stand still
I wouldn't let you walk away
I'd find the words to make you stay
All my life I've waited for one love that I can fall into
And every line of every song I hear reminds me about you
All my life I've waited for one love that I can fall into
And every line of every song I hear reminds me of when I first saw you
When I saw stars
And we made it through the dark
Are you recovering
Will my broken heart start to beat
It's not a mystery
What'd you do to me
All my life I've waited for one love that I can fall into
And every line of every song I hear reminds me about you
All my life I've waited for one love that I can fall into
And every line of every song I hear reminds me about you
When I saw you I saw stars (When I saw stars)
The shoreline fades in the distant grey
A sweet dream has passed away
Time has slipped right through our hands
There are worlds now between us
And now I've left
I've left these earthly shores
And I feel no more fear
There's no more fear
But my heart sighs for you
In my heart you will remain
And my heart cries for you
For it's the last goodbye
Mag mells coast stands out against the sky
A world has turned to its end
Tears have left a crust of salt
There are oceans between us
And now I've left
I've left these earthly shores
And I feel no more pain
There's no more pain
But my heart sighs for you
In my heart you will remain
And my heart cries for you
For it's the last goodbye
No last goodbye
[German translation]
Im fernen grau schwindet die küste
Ein süßer traum ist vorüber
Die zeit ist uns zwischen den händen zerronnen
Und welten liegen nun zwischen uns
Und jetzt bin ich gegangen
Habe diese irdischen gestade verlassen
Und ich fühle keine furcht mehr
Es gibt keine furcht mehr
Aber mein herz seufzt nach dir
In meinem herzen wirst du verbleiben
Und mein herz weint um dich
Denn es ist das letzte lebewohl
Mag mells* küste zeichnet sich ab gegen den himmel
Eine welt ist an ihr ende gelangt
Die tränen haben eine kruste aus salz hinterlassen
Ozeane liegen nun zwischen uns
Und jetzt bin ich gegangen
Habe diese irdischen gestade verlassen
Und ich fühle keinen schmerz mehr
Es gibt keinen schmerz mehr
Aber mein herz seufzt nach dir
In meinem herzen wirst du verbleiben
Und mein herz weint um dich
Denn es ist das letzte lebewohl
I'm leaving
Throw myself around
I'm needin
This to figure out
I hear you
Talkin to me
I'm feelin nothing if at all
I'm tryin so hard to move on
when you're on your own
I see you
Even wher you're not really here
i see you... yeah
*chorus*
Go on living
Always keep on breathin
From the mouth of memory
You give back yourself
If I had any wish at all
I'd put you back where you belong
So you're not all alone
I hear you
I hear you talking
did you say the words i think i heard you say
i hear you... yeah
*chorus*
Go on living
Always keep on breathin
From the mouth of memory
You give back yourself
Now I wonder where you are
You left a life you've been denied
i wonder what you could have been
if you hadn't died
Hadn't died...
Hadn't died...
Hadn't died...
Hadn't died
*chorus*
Go on living
Always keep on breathin
From the mouth of memory
You give back yourself
(G. Kralj, D. Kralj)
She climbs right down onto me
Understand I'll believe in anything
And tonight you're everything
In a place I've never been
Though not equally concerned
Everything I hope you'd be
Tonight you're here with me
Days pass me by this way
Finding hope when I see a strangers face
As the night falls into place
In a place I've never been
Though not equally concerned
Everything I hope you'd be
Tonight you're here with me
Collide crash into me
Feeling myself go
Collide crash into me
Who is in control
Time slips right through my mind
Fading fast as I see the things I do
And I know you've seen right through
Collide crash into me
Feeling myself go
Collide crash into me
Who is in control
Feeling myself go
I've been thinking about all the things
Trying to stop me from taking on the world
No time to think it's another day away
Never gonna lose the things I love
Another day away, another day away
Never gonna lose the things I love
A day away, another day away
I've been trying to stop despair
Trying to stop myself from sinking under world
No time to plan it's another day away
Never gonna lose the things I love
Just because you say you think you know
Another day away, another day away
Never gonna change the way I love
You always talk out loud about nothing
And all the while I think it means nothing
And all the while I think about heartache
And all the things you do
You never scream out loud feeling nothing
And all the while I think about everything
And all the while I talk about heartache
I never thought that I'd go anywhere
I never wanted to go home
I never wanted to see anything
These blinkered eyes won't go so far
I never wanted to be anywhere
I never thought that I'd go far
I never wanted to see what I wanted
These blinkered eyes won't go so far
I'm coming home.
I never wanted to be what I wanted
I never thought that I'd go home
I never thought that I'd be where I wanted
These things I've taken for so long
I'm coming home
