1. Freezing
Awakened by the cold touch of the waves
I fell asleep last night,the sand was my bed
the day is still young and innocent
my eyes can't find the horizon
the sun leisurely climbing up the sky
the sea glistens silently
I wish I could freeze this scenery
keep it like a secret
filled with emotions
of a wonderful chemistry
to recall it somewhere in time
but it's fading away
my feet feel drawn to step into the clear moving water
swimming with the dolphins, learning their speech
a higher intelligence, we will never reach
waiting with breathless exitement within the crowd
I can see nothing,
there's something in the air
creeping goose-flesh by the scream
of a thousand voices
before you could turn,
these wonderful emotions are irretrievably gone
can't catch it with a net
can't lock it behind walls
can't catch it with a net
can't lock it behind walls
we can only stand and watch the endless dance
between the sun and moon
judgement day will come too soon
the everlasting wish to be immortal
turning round and round
no understanding, why there's only left a memory
I wish I could freeze this scenery
keep it like a secret
filled with emotions
of a wonderful chemistry
to recall it somewhere in time
but it's fading away
we can only stand and watch the endless dance
between the sun and moon
judgement day will come too soon
the everlasting wish to be immortal
2. The Naked Word
say something to break the silence
do something-I need certainty
if there is a chance for you and me
I didn't know how to find the words
we'd only talk at cross-purposes,
'cause we didn't know it better
The most important things
are the hardest things to say
they are the things you feel ashamed of
if there is a chance for you and me
I didn't know how to find the words
the spoken word stands naked in the rain
used as a weapon,used to explain
for now and all the time I know one thing surely
there isn't always a need for the truth
the spoken word stands naked in the rain,
who brings it back, the unstoppable word?
I wish I could tell you good-night
send you a dream, holding you tight
I miss your heartbeat, pounding in my ear
how to make you believe
thoughts spinning round in my head
now I know, what I've lost
I recall the night, when we first met
you gave me an amorous glance
if there is a chance for you and me, I didn't know
how to find these words
3. Moments
searching to find out the feelings in your heart and soul
arranging now the chaos in your mind
don't try to give away the emotions of your innerself
your personal charisma
twisting in circles, walking around in labyrinths
a never ending distance
forgotten memories, the dreams and days of happiness
are rare, but still existing
moments will change
fast between good and bad
you must find a way
stand at the border,
helpless and failed
chance of a new beginning
you have to reach out
step by step
the coldness inside
affect on your mentality
reflecting your own condition
don't give up waiting
your loneliness will come to an end
your aim is closer than you think
moments will change
fast between good and bad
you must find a way
stand at the border
helpless and failed
chance of a new beginning
you have to reach out
expectations, that you set in your life
try to weigh up, if they aren't too high
the highest aim of a human being
is to fill up everybody's heart with
security, calm and real true loving
the calmness of everybody's soul
of everybody's soul
moments will change
fast between good and bad
you must find a way
stand at the border
helpless and failed
chance of a new beginning
4. Methods No. 23
5. In Our Hands
solitary wanderer, unrestrained dancer,
independent mountaineer
lend me your hand, throw me a line
to leave the boundaries behind
with trembling knees, I'm prepared for life
build the bridge again
that we'd walked yesterday
it's in our hands to become friends
if it's the right way to act
I can't really answer that
we walk the ladder of life
step by step closer to the last
not lost just out of sight
life is like a jigsaw of millions of pieces
you try to bring together
every counterpart of each
some will find them all, but for most
there will be left a hole
they aren't able to arrange with strangers
they only met with incomprehensible hate
it's in our hands to become friends
if it's the right way to act
I can't really answer that
we walk the ladder of life
step by step closer to the last
not lost just out of sight
don't hide your face in the sand
look in the stranger's eyes
accept his culture
it's in our hands to become friends
we walk the ladder of life
step by step closer to the last
not lost just out of sight
6. Elegy
the sun is shining softly
not burning-perhaps a feeble sign
water in my hand
the earth
wet and cold
glitters in the light
a spring of life
there are clouds in the sky
reflections on the water
some drops are falling down
like tears on an unknown face
and it seems like a thousand drums
beating the rhythm of life again
someone croons a melody
like a bird flying through the sky
deep into my soul
and I stand up and walk slowly, the way of my own past
into the haze of history, but the images are still blurred
I start swimming, on the waves of feelings
forgotten emotions, arise out of the dark
suddenly those pictures become cold and clear
and a face appears
I know-it's me
I ask myself
how it could go so far
I recognize those mistakes
still burning in my soul
but I know that I can't change it
only future shows the way
and my steps become faster
no longer feel the rain
my heart beats again
suddenly those pictures become cold and clear
and a face appears
I know-it's me
there are clouds in the sky
reflections on the water
some drops are falling down
like tears on an unknown face
and it seems like a thousand drums
beating the rhythm of life again
someone croons a melody
like a bird flying through the sky
deep into my soul
7. Impressions
awakening to unknown noises
lying at a beach, somewhere in this world
the sound of waves is all around
the sun climbs up at the horizon
I wish you were here to see
these wonderful impressions
a prodigy on earth
uninjured and rare
I wish you were here to see
these wonderful impressions
a lonesome island in natural perfection
sunbeams are touching my skin
shining through the leaves of palms
fill up my mind with energy
the visions of a
human dream
the ocean seems to touch the sky
blue water of incredible dimensions
glittering and clear like millions of crystals
reflections of countless sunbeams
I wish you were here to see
these wonderful impressions
a prodigy on earth
uninjured and rare
I wish you were here to see
these wonderful impressions
a lonesome island in natural perfection
8. My Spiritual Home
Come with me
take my hand
on a journey without an end
I can fly though I ain't got wings
the spirit drifting aimlessly along
free from the cage, free from the chains
spread your arms
to jump in unknown depth
has healing properties
no need to fear of what you'll see
if you do it voluntarily
I'm a soul born long ago
I walked every street
I'm a soul born long ago
I sailed every sea
God-if he is there, or not, doesn't count that much to me
