"The Pillars"
Walking on the line that links me with the sky
Spirit aligned; I save my mind from its dive
No one teaches you how to build yourself
Free from the weight you carry on your shoulders

I'm the one who has to dig 
To set the ground for my roots
There's no us without a me
But there's no me without you

I'm here for you
To remind you who you are
I'm here for you
To let our souls become one
I'm here for you 
Together we're the pillars...

I shape the woman who wants to give you her best 
Finding my center to protect you from myself
If life is our temple, we are its columns 
We forge ourselves to be solid and strong

You are the one who has to dig 
To set the ground for your roots
There's no us without a me
But there's no me without you

I'm here for you
To remind you who you are
I'm here for you
To let our souls become one
Together we're the pillars
Together we're the pillars 
Together we're the pillars of our lives

You don't have to do it alone
We were made to be together in this flow
Hand by hand we make our home 
We're ready to take the chance to grow

I'm here for you
To remind you who you are
I'm here for you
To let our souls become one
I'm here for you 
Together we're the pillars...
Together we're the pillars 
Together we're the pillars of lives

The Pillars

A Ray of Sunshine

Senza Paura

Quando la vita ti sembra sbiadita
E colorarla non sembra abbastanza
E la fortuna gira dalla parte sbagliata
Tu la chiami, a distanza
Se una sconfitta ti blocca a terra
E ti trattiene dal riprender la corsa
La tua forza debole sussurra
“Trova una strada non ancora percorsa”

Tu guarda avanti senza paura
Ad ogni passo respira
Di cio che c’e’ dietro non aver cura
Tu guarda avanti senza paura
Ad ogni passo respira
Di cio che c’e’ dietro non aver cura
Tu guarda avanti senza paura

Se ti perdi in mille domande
La paura di agire ti invade
Ad ogni dubbio una risposta
Devi cerlarla, a volte e’ nascosta
Ti aiutera’ a ritrovare chi sei
E mostrare un sorriso che solo tu hai

 Tu guarda avanti senza paura
Ad ogni passo respira
Di cio che c’e’ dietro non aver cura
Tu guarda avanti senza paura
Ad ogni passo respira
Di cio che c’e’ dietro non aver cura
Tu guarda avanti senza paura


E se ti fermi a guardare indietro
Capirai che ogni treno passato e’ perso
Non e’ vita quella osservata da un vetro
Respira, ogni passo sara’ diverso

Chorus.




TRANSLATION

"Without Fear"

When life seems faded
And to color it doesn’t seem enough
And good luck turns on the wrong side
You speak to it, but it’s far away
If defeat holds you to the ground
And it keeps you from going on
Your weakened willpower still whispers
“Find a road not yet walked”

Look ahead without fear
Breathe at every step
Don’t care about what is behind
Look ahead without fear
Breathe at every step
Don’t care about what is behind
Look ahead without fear

If you lost yourself in a thousand questions
The fear to act invades you
With every doubt there’s an answer
Look for it, sometimes it is hidden
It helps you to find who you are
And find again the smile only you have

Look ahead without fear
Breathe at every step
Don’t care about what is behind
Look ahead without fear
Breathe at every step
Don’t care about what is behind
Look ahead without fear


If you turn, looking back 
You’ll see that every train that has passed, you have missed
It’s not life if you observe it through a window
Breathe and you’ll find a way
Breathe and every step will be different

Chorus.
