1.
THE FUTURE-The Future came to see me with its crystal eyes/the water of past rivers brought this glow on time/I know that beauty will grow free/I know it will open my mind/I give you my love in return, I do/The smile of a cloud in the sky that's new/Tell me how to tell you how to tell them that you'll be there/Future, my future, your mind....

3.
SALVATION-Now that the world has ended/We are looking for salvation/When the bombs came down, we never payed attention/We were busy with the walls, the cuts and regulations/Never saw too far ahead, destroying our relations/How does it feel to come back/To check around the trash food/When the towns collapsed, we never thought of bad luck/We were angry, we were told the others were to blame for/Never heard a bullet go, our hole was soul sensations/Chorus:Salvation will never come to you, salvation is your own groove/Salvation will never hide from you/Salvation is inside us/Salvation, who is looking for salvation/Salvation, who is looking for salvation/Now that our time has come, we're setting back the old clocks/When the internet shut down, we never backed our heart's love/'Cause we were busy killing all, and we did not ask what for/Never saw, too late to start, and locking all of our doors/Chorus
4.
IS THERE, ARE WE, SHOULD YOU?-I thought I knew how to place the blame/I thought it should fall on you/Now that all those evils have come to pass/I have to share this truth/Is there, are we, should you join me on this fight?/Could I take you to our new paradise?/The hate is ready to blow our dreams/I bet you heart's now blue/Did you consider to share again, your eyes with those that need food?/Is there, are we, should you close the door this time?/Could I shake you, so you can open your mind?/Now, I'm going to tell you what to do?/He's going to tell us what to do
5.
Sister 04:56
SISTER-Here you are with your new life ahead of you/Here you are walking out from the pain/Should the past, what you knew, what you left behind/Be the guide of your dreams, what you'll seek come true/Chorus:Should you feel?, Should you care?/To come back is what you did/Should you fall? Should you jump?/Now into your future, future/Sister, I love you, I've got you: let's have no fear/Sister, will call you, won't miss you: I'm always near/Here you are flying high now that you have wings/Here you are flying still through the rain/Should the time be your cage now (that) you have it back?/Be the master, the judge, be your window shut?/Chorus
6.
SPECIAL-Lyrics by Luis Cano Arias & Virginia Higuera González.Chorus: I don't think you know you're special/I am now lost in you hair/Your smile when you are around me/Is so special, so special/I don't want to be close to that look your eyes will give me if/We happen to be in the same room, is so special, oh, so special/When you look down before sending/All your body to this dance/Moving all the starts inside me/Is so special, is so special/I did not expect to fall now/When I can't be in your arms/Your hands holding my heart beating/Are so special, yes they are special/Especial la voz que calma la tormenta/Las manos que sostienen el llanto/Especial la fuerza para volar y anclarte/Con la complicidad de una nueva vida/Los ojos que te miran como un héroe/Porque eres eso: un héroe/Especial el puerto de la esquina, la cama, el bar, la tienda, el balcón y tu camino/Especial tu vida, mi muerte, mi muerte, tu vida/El momento de llegar, el momento de irte/Chorus/La voz que calma la tormenta/La voz que calma la tormenta/La voz que calma la tormenta.
7.
HAVE I BEEN A FOOL FOR TRYING?-Chorus: Have I been a fool for trying?/Have a been a fool for love?Have I been a fool for hoping?/Have I been a fool too long?/You and me together: what's the deal?/Who is fooling who tonight?/Feeling all your imperfections/Is making me think twice what's right/And what's wrong, no more, matters to me/I can see it in your eyes: something's on your mind/We both wrote this letter when it was real/How come loosing with no fight/Hoping for a resurrection/Is sending me out of your sight/And what's wrong, no more, matters to me/I can see it in your eyes: something's on your mind/Chorus/With all my heart I wanted you/With all my mind I dreamt/Within your eyes I sense farewell/With both my eyes I start to cry: oh well../And what's wrong, no more, matters to me/I can see it in your eyes/Something's on your mind/Chorus.
8.
Love Swings 03:02
LOVE SWINGS-Love swings, from side to side/It's much too hard to find the balance in our hearts/Love sings a melody of freedom that is killed/By those who seek to win the game/Love swings from left to right/It's much too easy to forget you were a child/Love dreams with complicated futures in our hands/Will you believe or will you act?/Is it a game, or is it a life to share?/A question so important they deceive us into believe is not/Love swings, it should be lifting up a rotten world/That this time it's not going to wait/Is it a competition or is it a full reward?/A question very easy, yet stuck in our minds/Love lives, is not something abstract: it has a shape/That this time, our painters should for us portrait.
9.
Strange Fran 04:37
STRANGE FRAN-Always make sure there is an open door/Always a candle, always a light/Don't give up so soon, you are not alone/I will be there right by your side tonight/Extreme conditions make the best arise/Just when the day gives way to the night/Do you believe that all the hope is gone?/I'll make you see that is all in your mind?/Chorus:She goes, she comes/Strange Fran/She does, she knows/Strange Fran/I go to visit every time I can/Improvisation is the best plan/I'll be your friend, I'll be your mum and dad/Somebody that for sure will understand/There was a cat that used to live with you/Milk in the fridge, perhaps some bread too/Chorus.
10.
COURAGE-You say you played me/I must have been so blind all these years/This game, I don't know how/It seemed much easier reading all the instructions from the box/Chorus:If I give, you take, along with everything else now/If I cry, you don't care, oh yes, no more/If I hurt, you grow: did you know I'd die for you?/I wish I had the courage to say/Go now, I don't need you anymore/And don't forget to close the door behind you/Later, when everything grows back green/I won't delay to live the dream that I've always wanted/You say you've never/Gave me any reasons to believe/This game, I don't know who/Was being naïve or such a fool/Chorus
