[Verse 1]
On your way never repay hatred with hatred, but with justice
Don't forget the most terrible weapon is the word
It can ruin a life, without leaving a trace of blood
The wounds won't heal, but when masters of a tongue
And not the slaves of our words
[Verse 2]
On your way choose to not stole or betray
But always be generous, with mistakes
Wisdom lies not in the answers that are given
Bound in the mystery of the questions
That in which are lost, make use of the forgotten
Of virtues, boldness and elegance, love and friendship
[Verse 3]
Love doesn't need to be understood
It only needs to be shown
Love doesn't need to be understood
It only needs to be shown, it only needs to be shown
It only needs to be shown, it only needs to be shown
It only needs to be shown, it only needs to be shown
On your way, stay close to the light
On your way, stay close to the light
On your way, when your mind is yours
Feel the wind in your face and enjoy the freedom
Listen to the wind, don't forget the horse that need your care
Take a rest with him, you have long journey ahead
[Verse 4]
On your way, don't miss a thing
On your way stay close to those who sing
And tell stories and enjoy life
Happiness is contagious and will always find a solution
[Verse 5]
Love doesn't need to be understood
It only needs to be shown
Love doesn't need to be understood
It only needs to be shown, to be shown
It only needs to be shown
[Outro]
On your way, stay close to the light
On your way, stay close to the light
On your way, stay close to the light
Stay close, stay close to the light
Enjoy the freedom
