And why would I sacrifice everything?

Why would I give up what I enjoy so much?

But I won every fight, I always fought to survive!

I defended myself from everyone, I rebelled against everything.

I was strong, powerful, I lacked nothing!

Why would I forget what I claimed to forgive?

Why would I bow my head before anyone?

Isn't life a merciless battle?

Why would I open my heart and let sweetness shine?

Why would I surrender before the majesty of love?

Wouldn't I lose what it has taken me my whole life to build?

Why would I choose the vulnerability of silence?

Why would I focus on the beauty of the rainbow across the sky?

Why would I prefer, in any situation, to be happy?
