TO LIVE
You look into my eyes in search of
love,
Into an empty mirror that does not
reply.
You want to know if I want to live,
To live as if we never had to die.
I tell you I've lived my life in the
shadows of the past,
And I am always reminded of this
fate.
Can a life that remains unlived last?
Who can teach us how to live?
Can we learn yet to be alive?
I've learned to live life on the
edges of love.
I, who have never created anything.
Who would teach me how to live?
A song that no one will ever sing.
I've lived even though I did not ask
to live.
And now to live in search of life and
love?
To look deep within and finally
understand,
That I've never really lived at all.
I say yes to you. I say yes, I want to live.
