awareness is a strange beast

awareness is a strange beast
warms up your mind like your face the morning sun 
and at the same time it wakes you up screaming!
and outside is already night, inside your heart is too late
and the soul is full of haze

awareness is an ugly beast
is that strange calm after the tempest
is the fruit sometimes good sometimes not
is the crop after the summer and supreme fall  
supreme autumn
sovereign life
awareness is a strange beast

since there are alternative ways or shortcuts
there is no harvest without seeding
there is no feast without sweat
there is no music without soul
no art lives without the heart of the interpreter
without the author's heart

awareness is a strange beast
it takes a lifetime learning to live
so don’t waste your time now that you can still run
do not give up laughing 
 and  dance dance
dance!

because awareness of  yourself and the world
it is an ugly beast
it smiles at you and warms you up 
as in your face the morning sun 
and at the same time wakes up screaming!
and outside is already night, inside your heart is too late
and the soul is full of haze
haze

no there are no alternative ways nor shortcuts
there is no harvest without sowing
there is no feast without sweat
there is music without soul
no art lives without the heart of the interpreter
without the author's heart

awareness is a strange beast
do not wait for it helpless as you wait for the storm to go  fast
jump into the vortex,
swims in the storm,
 through the eye of the tempest
do not wait for awareness
never wait, live now,
 live now!

live now
with a smile on your  face and a light heart
like a rolling stone, like a free rolling
rolling stone
 since you are the only interpreter you are the only author

live now, before is night outside
live now before is too late in your heart
before the mist will grab your soul
live free now
free 
like a rolling stone!
