Happy Man
How many years have you been working?
Trading life for a piece of bread
How many years have you been working
Trading life for a piece of bread
Don't you feed the fat cat no more
Live your life and don't be sad
Mama told you to be a good boy
Papa said life's for working hard
Mama told you to be a good boy
Papa said life's for working hard
You went on to find a good job
Settle down with kids and a wife
Life's for living while you can
Don't get trapped in the same mistakes
Life's for living while you can
Don't get trapped in the same mistakes
Find your passion and your love
And you'll surely be a happy man

Who Do You Think You're Fooling
(Vítor Bacalhau/Jean Paul Rena)
You think we can't see through you
And all your dirty lies
An outspoken fool
And the devil in disguise
That's how you always roll
Trying to take the world along
One day the truth will rise
And I know it won't be long
Who do you think you are fooling,
With all that you say and do,
Who do you think you are fooling,
You keep lying, denying the truth
You said you were a dancer
But you didn't dance that good
And didnt save the show
The way you said you would
Big talk about who you were
And all that you could be
They all believed in you
But certainly not me
Who do you think you are fooling,
With all that you say and do,
Who do you think you are fooling,
You keep lying, denying the truth

Old Soul
(Vítor Bacalhau/Budda Guedes)
Been walking alone
Searching for the truth
Enjoyin’ the ride
Born with an old soul
Don’t care for cars
Don’t care for money
Don’t care gold
Born with an old soul
Born with an old soul
Born with an old soul
Takin’ it easy
Going down slow
Born to be wise
Born with an old soul
Seizing the day
Sippin’ a drink
Takin’ a moment
Born with an old soul
Born with an old soul
Born with an old soul
Been’ wakin’ up
Been workin’ on me
It might take long
But I will find the key
Born with an old soul
Born with an old soul
Born with an old soul
Born with an old soul

I've Been Dreaming
I've been dreaming
Of you
Every night and day
Ever since
That night
When you came my way
I've been dreaming
I've been dreaming
Dreaming of you
Oh dreaming of you
I've been thinking
For long
That we don't belong
Wanna do right
But I think
I'll be doing wrong
I've been dreaming
I've been dreaming
Dreaming of you
Oh dreaming of you
Every night I try to sleep
But I can't break free from your spell
So I pray the lord to keep
This secret I cannot tell
I've been burning
Alone
With every breath I take
Whiskey my
Only friend
But it's you I crave
Still remember
That smell
That you left behind
It still keeps me
Awake
Almost every night
I've been dreaming
I've been dreaming
Lord I've dreaming
I've been dreaming
Dreaming of you,
Oh dreaming of you

Dirty Little Girl
Dark blue lips
Big brown eyes
Dressed in leather under no disguise
Shows no love
Lust's her game
Her talk is dirty she ain't got no shame
The way she walks
The way she talks
Will have you hypnotized
The tension will rise
Before you
Blink an eyer
She'll be gone won't even say goodbye
She's a dirty little girl and I want her so
To satisfy my needs then I'll let her go
She likes the taste of danger, yes she told me so
She's a dirty little girl and I want her so, oh oh oh
My favorite
Game to play
My skin is burning while she shows me the way
I want you
I'll have you
This lust ain't love but what else is new?!
She's a dirty little girl and I want her so
To satisfy my needs then I'll let her go
She likes the taste of danger, yes she told me so
She's a dirty little girl and I want her so, oh oh oh

Let Your Soul Go Free
You've built your own prison
Now you just want to breakout
You know these walls are foolish
Still you just can't tear them down
These patterns that you follow
Through every passing day
Are the causes for your sorrow
They're the reason for you pain
So breakout
And let your soul go free
So breakout
And let your soul go free
We've all got our fears
That we have to overcome
Sometimes we all wonder
"Oh, what have I become?"
We've all got our dreams
That we want to see come true
Don't let 'em talk you down
Because then the fool are you
So breakout
And let your soul go free
So breakout
And let your soul go free

Cosmic Attraction
Everything happens for a reason
That's something you can't deny
Let go of fear and ego
Let intuition be your guide
Synchronicities will show you
How some things are meant to be
Let life be driven by true love
True love is gonna set you free
Cosmic attraction
Cosmic attraction
Cosmic attraction
Cosmic attraction
You shined the light into my world
From the very day we met
I kept on walking blindfold
Didn’t know what to expect
The universe conspired
Now we are not alone
I know we will fly higher
We will reap what we have sown

Shooting Star
Sent you a letter
In the shape of a song
Meant every word of it
But I was still all alone
You hadn't moved on
But you found another man
I was so jealous then
"What a shame and a sin"
Said "I will be wishing
At every shooting star
To bring us back together
For a brand new start"
You said you still loved me
And I still loved you too
Would this love last forever?
Would this tea be for two?
After all that we went through
What a shame to let it die
I left it up to you
I would’ve given it, one last try
Said "I will be wishing
At every shooting star
To bring us back together
For a brand new start"
2x
If our paths don't cross again
Just rest assured
That you will always have a friend
But now I should, set you free!

Walk Through Fire
(Vítor Bacalhau/Helder Faísca)
How many times do I need
To walk through the fire
Until it burns me so deep
So I can get higher
Many times I have crawled
Under dark wisdom skies
So I can bounce back and walk
With a brand new pair of eyes
You better believe it
I will reach higher
You bettter believe it
I can walk through fire
One thing I know for sure
When I fly high above
Everything will be all right
When I trade this fear for love
I'm reaching out to the sky
And I hope you find your way
We all came here to shine
Not just burn and fade away
You better believe it
I will reach higher
You better believe it
I can walk through fire
