"Run To The River" 
***Lyrics***


Used to close my eyes and choose denial
My only power to survive
When home means facing problems every hour
A child`s revival is running away

I come from a life on the edge, on the edge 
I build from a life on the edge

I breakout, I run to the river, run to the river, let it out 
I breathe in, breathe out, I run to the river, run to the river, run to the river, run to the river, let it out

Used to live for brighter days to follow
Never saw sorrow as mine alone 
When the end feels near and corners seem to narrow 
Find strength to leave all weight behind

I come from a life on the edge, on the edge
I build from a life on the edge

I breakout, I run to the river, run to the river, let it out
I breathe in, breathe out, I run to the river, run to the river, run to the river, run to the river

Let it out, let it all out, let it all out

Composer: Boglárka Csemer "Boggie"
Songwriter: Sára Helene Bori

"I Believe In U" 
***Lyrics***


Only these words 
Only these words 
I want those days to come again 
When you have a good thing 
When you have a goal in life and reach it 
But if you feel you've lost your way 
I will be there for you in your darkest hours right beside you 
I want those days to come again when you dream of life 
When you find a way nothing can stop you 
But if your world feels torn away 
I'll be there for you in your darkest hours right behind you 

Chorus: 
I believe in u…. 
You never doubt never have no fear yeah 
They told me that… 
I believe in u…u 
I remember way back when yeah 
They told me that i believe in u…. 
You never doubt never have no fear yeah they told me that… 
I believe in u…you i remember way back when yeah they told me that…. 

I believe i want those days to come again 
[Lyrics from: https:/lyrics.az/jamala/-/i-believe-in-u.html]
When you know in time 
That no matter what (yeah )you can make it 
Just keep your head up to the sky 
Don't ever look back keep moving on and on 
I want those days to come again 
When you dream of life 
When you find a way nothing can stop you 
But if your world feels torn away 
I will be there for you in your darkest hours right beside you 

Chorus: 
I believe i believe i believe in u…. 
You never doubt never have no fear yeah 
They told me that…

"Amar Pelos Dois" 
*** Unofficial English Lyrics ***


If I lived a dream,
I’d ask you to dance,
with time standing still just for you.

And though I forget
it’s only a dream,
I picture your face all day through.

Dance, love.
Smile, and you are glistening.
Laugh as no one’s listening,
and never let me leave.

Make me
forget about our quarrels.
In dreams, there are no sorrows.
May i spend this dream with you?

Dance, love.
Smile, and you are glistening.
Laugh as no one’s listening,
and never let me leave.

Make me
forget about our quarrels.
In dreams, there are no sorrows.
And I’m once again with you.

In dreams, there are no sorrows.
May i spend this dream with you?
