Gran Canaria 04:41
Little did I know when in this island I arrived Angry, depressed and for sure sleep deprived That this place has a special spirit Easy to feel it, if you're not too scared to near it Not to realise this place is magic Would bring me to tears, it would be kinda tragic Cause if you end up here, lost and confused It's not a coincidence, it's because you have to Cause the island calls only those who need a change Those stuck in that limbo where the world seems so strange From Las Palmas to Mogan It's a trip around the Sun in Gran Canaria From Las Palmas to Mogan It's a trip around the Sun in Gran Canaria But soon you will be sane Cause through suffering and pain Your spirit will change For letting love reign The island grounds you and brings you back When you resurrect, you won't be a hopeless wreck Then you'll be fresh and restored Ready to stand up and open new doors I've seen dunes, jungles, volcanos and hills Beaches and mountains that give you the chills Those microcosmos appear disappear Product of Africa since million years From Las Palmas to Mogan It's a trip around the Sun in Gran Canaria From Las Palmas to Mogan Taking in all that you can With the power of the Moon and the power of the Sun Where the magic intertwines Between the mystic and divine There some answers you'll find Cause you previously were blind Looking up every night for Venus and Mars Swimming with the Moon in a sea of stars When you lack direction and energy to burn It’s the island calling and it's time to return The Island welcomes any sort of creature From surfers to preachers, pirates and teachers People on the island can sleep in caves Other can dance to psychedelic raves This magical island is like a big Mum It offers you shelter, honey and rum From Las Palmas to Mogan It's a trip around the Sun in Gran Canaria From Las Palmas to Mogan Taking in all that you can With the power of the Moon and the power of the Sun Maspalomas, Artenara, Agaete y Guayedra, in Gran Canaria Güigüí y Gáldar, Roque Nublo y Moya, in Gran Canaria San Nicolás y Veneguera, Vecindario y Tejeda, in Gran Canaria Valleseco, Arucas, Tamadaba y Firgas, in Gran Canaria Arguineguín y Inagua, Los Navarros y Fataga en Gran Canaria Tirajana, Anfi del Mar, Valsequillo, El Confital, en Gran Canaria San Mateo y Vegueta, Atlas, Lua y La Isleta, en Gran Canaria Las Nieves, Puerto Rico, Teror y Tasartico, en Gran Canaria

(Verses by the Canarian poet Tomás Morales) Atlántico infinito, tú que mi canto ordenas Cada vez que mis pasos me llevan a tu parte Siento que nueva sangre palpita por mis venas Y, a la vez que mi cuerpo, cobra salud mi arte El alma temblorosa se anega en tu corriente Con ímpetu ferviente Henchidos los pulmones de tus brisas saladas Y a plenitud de boca Un luchador te grita ¡Padre! desde una roca De estas maravillosas Islas Afortunadas

How many times, how many times You fell on the ground And you told yourself to quit How many times, so many times You lost at first round And you excused yourself to sleep Well they tell you you can do it if you dream They don't tell you though to reset your self esteem How many times, how many times You'll listen to this sound Until you bring yourself to leap 'Cause that's all it takes 'Cause that's all it takes to reach the peak 'Cause that's all it takes The rise is hard but it ain't so steep 'Cause you've got to do it I'll do it for you, you'll do it for me 'Cause you've got to do it I'll do it for you, you'll do it for me 'Cause you've got to do it I'll do it for you, you'll do it for me 'Cause you've got to do it I'll do it for you, you'll do it for me How many times, how many times You didn't like what you found And you couldn't let it be How many times, so many times You felt like you drowned Though you never were at sea Well they tell you you can't play if you can't swim They don't tell you though it's easier than it seems How many times, how many times You'll listen to this sound Until you bring yourself to leap 'Cause that's all it takes 'Cause that's all it takes to reach the peak 'Cause that's all it takes Leave your future self in peace 'Cause you've got to do it I'll do it for you, you'll do it for me 'Cause you've got to do it I'll do it for you, you'll do it for me 'Cause you've got to do it I'll do it for you, you'll do it for me 'Cause you've got to do it I'll do it for you, you'll do it for me

Paco 04:14
Parece facil perderse Es mas probable que te encuentres Todo parece estar en paz Porque la calle nunca miente Gente que llega, gente que va siguiendo su rutina Quien trabaja, quien sueña Quien se refugia en una esquina Los santos de la calle están aquí Saben lo que significa igualdad El secreto esta allí para vivir en libertad El mundo es muy loco We need more people like Paco Gente buena que disfruta su vida y trabajo El mundo es muy loco We need more people like Paco Porque el Amor gana contra todo Vamos a ver Vamos a ver Vamos a ver La torre de Atlas inspira a la ciudad una nueva realidad Aquí la vida no es obsoleta Bienvenidos a La Isleta Mario camina feliz por la calle Gracias a El Bar Milán y El Capitán Todos merecen una parada En la tienda de la amistad Tengo suerte de poder Llamar a este laberinto mi hogar Aquí se deja renacer Aquí se aprende a perdonar El mundo es muy loco We need more people like Paco Gente buena que disfruta su vida y trabajo El mundo es muy loco We need more people like Paco Gente buena que te ayuda cuando tu estas abajo El mundo es muy loco We need more people like Paco Gente buena que te ayuda cuando tu estas abajo El mundo es muy loco We need more people like Paco Gente buena que disfruta su vida y trabajo Las cosas de palacio van despacio Mi hermano Chacho esta seguro Con paciencia veremos que Nos depara el futuro El mundo es muy loco we need more people like Paco Gente buena que disfruta su vida y trabajo El mundo es muy loco we need more people like Paco Gente buena que te ayuda cuando tu estas abajo El mundo es muy loco We need more people like Paco Gente buena que disfruta su vida y trabajo El mundo es muy loco we need more people like Paco Porque el Amor gana contra todo Vamos a ver Vamos a ver Vamos a ver Vamos a ver

Recuerdo cuando llegué aquí por primera vez Un chico perdido, sin rumbo ni meta Pero tu estatua a mi me llamó Y me enseñó a ver la belleza En cada rincón de esta tierra A escuchar la naturaleza Desde el mar hasta la sierra A no tener miedo de seguir los sueños Y a ser fiel a las raíces Porque en este mundo no somos dueños Solo invitados felices  Tu historia nos prueba Que la música es el idioma universal Une a la gente, nos hace soñar Y hace que el mundo sea menos brutal Canta, canta, Mary Sánchez Nuestra querida anfitriona Gran mujer, una Canariona Mary Sánchez, Mary Sánchez Una dama legendaria Una amiga, una madre Canaria Canta, canta, Mary Sánchez Tu voz es el eco de nuestra historia Para siempre en nuestra memoria Timple en mano, y en el corazón  Néstor y Los Bandama Para el mundo cantando sobre la isla Entre la realidad y la fama Aunque yo sea un visitante Siento dentro que la isla Te respeta y te agradece  Que le cantaras toda la vida Mientras miraba tu estatua Escuché algo familiar Tu voz, viva y real, me dijo:  "Sigue adelante, el arte es vital Así cada mañana agradezco a la isla  Por nuestro encuentro  A través de la estatua sobre la que  Canto en este cuento Canta, canta, Mary Sánchez Nuestra querida anfitriona Gran mujer, una Canariona Mary Sánchez, Mary Sánchez Una dama legendaria Una amiga, una madre Canaria Canta, canta, Mary Sánchez Tu voz es el eco de nuestra historia Para siempre en nuestra memoria Canta, canta, Mary Sánchez Nuestra querida anfitriona Gran mujer, una Canariona

Well I don't know what makes me mad What drives me crazy, makes me sad All those thoughts sailing Through my head I might have searched In the wrong places I crossed eyes With few fake faces But I push forward And I leave no traces I hunt for a smile On a stranger's face My shadows follow But I don't mind 'Cause I follow shades As a jack of all trades And I met the devil In the middle of a parade I was wearing a mask And time was fleeting so fast He did not recognise me 'Cause I wasn't myself But he came back for you And that drove me so mad He did not respect you That wasn't fair But I follow my shadows now And I am not afraid Well I don't know what makes me mad What drives me crazy and makes me sad All those thoughts sailing through my head Are sinking now But you found someone else And I felt like a fool But I loved you too much To tell you that wasn't cool We said you'd be back Sooner than later we had said 'Cause we had a deal We had a pact So take my shadows now It's all I have left

Life seems hard to understand You've got too much to handle It's getting out of hand But when you stop to demand Things are gonna come your way Letting go is the key To realise which path to take Breathe in, Breathe out Breathe in, Breathe out Breathe in, Breath out In life I'm always a beginner But this time is all we get And you may think I'm just a sinner But I'm learning step by step You're missing every train It's driving you insane But there's another ride to take This world is spinning fast But nobody comes last So give yourself a break Breathe in, Breathe out Breathe in, Breathe out Breathe in, Breathe out Can you take it? Can you take it? Breathe in, Breathe out Breathe in, Breathe out Breathe in, Breathe out Can you take it? Can you take it?

Free At Last 02:34
I have been around this place Never found the key I was often led astray By my own anxiety I was restless, I was mad I was lost inside my head Wanted answers on a plate ´Cause my questions couldn't wait Funny how life lessons Always arrive on time I was free at last I was free at last Willingly, unconsciously Falling for the same mistakes Burning bridges, cursing faith Craving reasons to escape All my dreams and all my hopes Suddenly were dying away Only when I faced my ghosts I learned I was in a play Quit fearing my doubts Began doubting my fear I was free at last I was free at last I was free at last I am free at last

I say love, love Every part of you On this long journey That starts and ends with you I say love, love Everyone you see Cause nothing lasts forever And it's them, it's you, it's me I've been driving all around Tryin´ to find a place for my head to rest But my inner compass tells me That it's time to go to the West To the sunset, to the sunset To the sunset, to the sunset To the sunset To the sunset I say love, love Everything you see Cause soon it'll disappear Just like the sun into the sea I've been living all my life As if it was a final test But I'm slowly understanding It's enough to give your best All my friends were fighting for Just to find a place in the first row We are so lucky to be present At the best show in the world To the sunset, to the sunset To the sunset, to the sunset To the sunset, to the sunset To the sunset, to the sunset To the sunset, to the sunset To the sunset, to the sunset To the sunset To the sunset I say North, South, West, East North, South, West, East Always heading West To the sunset, to the sunset To the sunset, to the sunset To the sunset, to the sunset To the sunset To the sunset, to the sunset To the sunset, to the sunset To the sunset To the sunset To the sunset

Rise Again 05:44
You can push me down You can crash me on the ground But I will rise again May be the last thing that I can You can push me down You can crash me on the ground But I will rise again May be the last thing that I can You can push me down You can crash me on the ground But I will rise again May be the last thing that I can Not too long ago, I was really really small Never crossed my mind that I could be part of the whole But as a kid I never doubted men's and nature's worth Anyone was welcome to play on this Earth Then I have learned all your lessons And survived your many schools Only to realise I've learned more from art and breaking rules I think I understood that few decide who is in need But I'll keep rising ́til compassion wins over greed You can push me down You can crash me on the ground But I will rise again May be the last thing that I can With time I started boxing with my thoughts and reason We all deserve a decent life and no one should feel imprisoned We all laugh, we all cry, we all live on this rock We all know that only with falling you learn how to walk You can chain us and convince yourself that you've got the key But inside our soul will always be free And for you vultures out there, who think you pull all the strings We remind you that without us you would be Nothing. You can push me down You can crash me on the ground But I will rise again May be the last thing that I can We ́re all fruits and flowers of the same plant We should bow to Nature, we are only here to rent 'Cause brothers and sisters, we are sons of the same Mother Fear not to understand that together we have the power They can silence us, laugh at us and pretend they cannot hear Make us doubt of each other just to generate some fear They can try to deceive us and continue the tease Hoping to avoid the turmoil But our voices and freedom will never cease To blossom from the soil You can push me down You can crash me on the ground But I will rise again May be the last thing that I can You can push me down You can crash me on the ground But I will rise again May be the last thing that I can You can push me down You can crash me on the ground But I will rise again May it be the last thing that I can Until the last beat of my heart Even if everything is falling apart I will rise again Rise again Rise, rise, rise again You can push me down You can crash me on the ground But I will rise again May it be the last thing that I can 'Cause I have had enough Had enough, had enough Had had had had enough But I will rise again May be the last thing that I can Until the last beat of my heart Even if everything is falling apart I will rise again Rise again Rise, rise, rise again

Qué sabía yo al llegar a este mar Con rabia, depresión y un sueño pa’ contar Que esta isla tiene un espíritu especial Es fácil percibirlo si te quieres acercar No llegar a conocer la magia del lugar Sería una tragedia, como pa’ llorar Si terminaste aquí, perdido y confundido No es por coincidencia, ella te ha elegido La isla llama a los que necesitan ya cambiar Los perdidos en el limbo que de él quieren fugar De Las Palmas a Mogán Hacia el Sol viajarán en Gran Canaria De Las Palmas a Mogán Hacia el Sol viajarán en Gran Canaria Pronto te aliviarás, porque al margen del dolor Tu alma mudará, abrazando el amor Echa raíz en la isla y volverás a la vida Nadarás a la orilla desde tu nave hundida Con pilas recargadas verás nuevas puertas Si quieres acercarte estarán abiertas Vi las dunas, las junglas, la montaña y la colina El volcán y unas playas que te dan piel de gallina Microcosmos aparecen y se vuelven a ocultar Un legado de siglos desde África por mar De Las Palmas a Mogán Hacia el Sol viajarán en Gran Canaria De Las Palmas a Mogán Vivir todo sin afán Con la fuerza de la Luna hacia el Sol regresarán Aquí la magia juega fino Entre lo místico y divino Se responde a tus preguntas Si con la isla ya te juntas Cada noche nadando hacia la Luna bella En búsqueda de Venus en este mar de estrellas Si te quedas corto en fuerza y vigor La isla te llama a volver a tu albor Ella sí acoge a todas criaturas Surferos, piratas, obispos y curas Aquí si lo quieres se duerme en las cuevas Se baila y se canta hasta que te conmuevas Este lugar es un templo de amor Te ofrece refugio, ron miel y calor De Las Palmas a Mogán Hacia el Sol viajarán en Gran Canaria De Las Palmas a Mogán Vivir todo sin afán Con la fuerza de la Luna hacia el Sol regresarán Maspalomas, Artenara, Agaete y Guayedra, in Gran Canaria Güigüí y Gáldar, Roque Nublo y Moya, in Gran Canaria San Nicolás y Veneguera, Vecindario y Tejeda, in Gran Canaria Valleseco, Arucas, Tamadaba y Firgas, in Gran Canaria Arguineguín y Inagua, Los Navarros y Fataga en Gran Canaria Tirajana, Anfi del Mar, Valsequillo, El Confital, en Gran Canaria San Mateo y Vegueta, Atlas, Lua y La Isleta, en Gran Canaria Las Nieves, Puerto Rico, Teror y Tasartico, en Gran Canaria
