We were a family with no money
But my parents never failed to bring in food
I was unemployed, and couldn't buy me a guitar
An old acoustic guitar and my voice helped me to work
My grandfather almost made me to give up, saying i had no talent
But i resisted all discouragements dreaming day after day
People came and went in my life
Then i found true friends that made me continue
We drank all the drinks, and spend sleepless nights
We proved all the sins and resisted
We lost a dear friend along the way
We opened the gates of hell, but we apologize for nothing
We made music and friends on a long road
We had fun on every step of the way
We tasted everything we could imagine
After all i came back home, and felt lonely
My band broke up from so many fights
I made some wrong choices along the way
Many times we have failed
But then i found the reason
Maybe i never loved
But i found what i wanted
In the arms of my lady i was happy
And year after year i am
I woke up from the dream
That seemed more like a nightmare
And again i found my lost friends,
We made music again,
This time with our feet on the ground
And we're happy since then
Today i'm not a rock star, and i never will be
But i am a father of two beautiful children
And i make a living playing my guitar,
And singing my songs
People learn a few lessons from me
In the same place i call home
I can't complain about anything
I didn't leave anything behind
I saw all things get out of place
And they fit perfectly again after a while
We work together, looking forward
The world has changed, but people remain the same
If i were to repeat it all over again, i would
I love the place i am today
