You are the gift of love
You are the gift of life
Take whatever you need

Brilla para mi
Voy a brillar por ti,
Cada amanecer despierto,
Cada día.
Deje estas palabras,
Por favor, deja que esta canción
Te llevo tan
Completamente.
Tienes el don del amor.
Tienes el don de la vida.
Toma lo que necesites.
Sé la luz.
Por una vez, asegúrese.
Sé la luz
Usted está.
Eres el sonido del amor.
Eres el sonido de la vida.
Toma lo que necesites.
Más vendrá cuando vuelvas a abrir
Todos tus sentidos están cambiando.
Una vez que haya visto,
Estén despiertos a esta canción de la vida.
Brilla para mi
Voy a brillar por ti,
Cada amanecer despierto,
Cada día.
Eres el regalo del amor.
Eres el regalo de la vida.
Toma lo que necesites.

Jon & Vangelis - their musical creations got me through a very difficult time in my life - and brings back bitter sweet memories. Thank you.

I got to see jon and vangelis perform live at Royce Hall, when I was a grad student at UCLA. A highlight of my life, for sure!

Transcendent, timeless and universal in its application to music and life. I can easily imagine a children's choir singing this song and leaving every listener in the audience in tears. Thank you for sharing this beautiful song and artwork. Blessings upon you and your house.
