Believer

Tell me all about believing
Tell me everything you know
So if I make it there,
if I once see it for myself,
I will know what it's about
I have walked over the mountains
I have sailed across the sea
I've been searching,
I've been looking for that place,
I've been looking everywhere
No pattern I see
No marks in the tree
No shapes in the clouds
No light in my eye
No star in the sky
No reason in sight
So, tell me all about believing
Tell me everything you know
So if I make it there,
if I once see it for myself,
I will know what it's about
Behind the colored curtain,
an empty space
Beyond the music,
a silent place
No pattern I see
No marks in the tree
No shapes in the clouds
No light in my eye
No star in the sky
No reason in sight
So, tell me all about believing,
'cause I really want to go
Yes, I will make it there
and I will see it for myself
and I will know what it's about

Train in the Sky
03:29
|
|||
On a train to see a distant place
Bought no ticket in advance
Fell asleep as soon as we rolled out of the station
In my dream I saw a woman's face
She looked old, but still so young
She called out my name and grabbed me by the hand
Suddenly skies appeared,
we were flying through the air
I looked for the ground below,
but it just wasn’t there
Fast awake! ”May I have your ticket, sir?”
My dream was dead and gone
Somewhat sad, I never got that lady’s name
Standing on the back of the train, watching the tracks disappear below my feet
Looking out in the cold, dead night
I’m gonna lay it all, gonna lay it all behind
I’m gonna lay it all, lay it all behind
Lay it all behind...

Way to Fade
02:56
|
|||
I saw the beaten one
I watched him fall
Left with the fear of becoming a fading one
Out of the light, into the grey
We called for another fight
Show must go on
Stakes are high, winner takes it all
No time for losers in our show
You wrap it up and send it off for distribution
You pay someone to make it look real good
You make a noise, provocative and populistic
You post it to your blog
You take off all your clothes and start a minor riot
Despite the fame, you’re only human after all
Some say ”We will never learn”
Some say ”We are doomed
to smash our heads against one another,
to race for the top and never be free”

Belong
03:21
|

I believe
I belong
I believe
I belong
Here
With you
By your side
In your arms
Day and night
Night and day
Day and night
Night and day
No fear in my heart
No load on my soul
No black in my sky
No shadow on my ground
'Cause I've been walking the garden where love is
I've been sleeping with heavens above me
I've been hearing the birds, their story
I've been watching your eyes, their glory
I will never need nothing more than this
I will never ask for another wish
I'm just gonna lie down and close my eyes
And go to sleep by your side...
I believe
I belong
I believe
I belong
Here

Daybreak
04:18
|
|||
Trees are growing in my yard again
Growing high up to the sky
Rising up against all evil men
Standing tall and reaching wide
Planes are flying across the ocean
Bound for London and New York
Filled with spirit and devotion
to teach a different kind of walk
Let go, let go, let go of jealousy
Look me in the eyes
You're holding the key, your remedy
A love that never dies
See the golden new horizon
A shining queen in the Far East
Warm our hearts, ease the tension
May the daylight never cease
Let go, let go, let go of jealousy...
Trees are growing in my yard again...

Follow the Sparrow
04:17
|
|||
I head out in waters of amber
I leave all behind
I'll drop you a line by the end of november
I'll be so fine
I walk through the meadow
I sleep on the ground
I follow the sparrow
I'm guided by her sound
Southbound, I'm running away
Away from this cold night
I'll return with a brighter day
I will bring back the sunlight
These are my anxieties
My old and innermost fears
I look for the sun in a big, grey sky
But nowhere to be found
Nowhere
Nowhere
So I set sail in the evening breeze
I'm sailing away
Release the stern line, please
I'll see you in may
Don’t be saddened by my leaving
I’m still your beloved friend
I just got to get away from this feeling
Get away from myself
I walk through the meadow...

We went out walking
In early may
We started talking
Along the way
The salty waters
A southern sun
Your older brothers
My only one
In days of sadness
Through times of peace
My streak of madness
Your soothing breeze
The turning season
The traveling star
I don't need a reason
I'll be where you are
In days of sadness
Through times of peace
My streak of madness
Your soothing breeze
In days of sadness
Through times of peace
My streak of madness
Your soothing breeze
I won't be leaving
I'll stay right here
I trust this feeling
I have no fear

Me and My Guys
03:53
|
|||
Open my eyes in the hour of sunrise
Entering life once more
Dreaming is nice, reality somewise
Entering life by default
Me and my guys got a thing of our own now
Hiding away from you all
Leaving this place, walking away now
Walking away from it all
Farewell to you people
Farewell to you all
May the good Lord watch over you
I've seen what you're made of
and what you can do
Yes, I have seen the things you do
No one will smell the trees or the flowers
growing inside of our yard
No one will hear this music of ours
Playing inside of our hearts
Playing inside of our hearts
Farewell to you people...
Open my eyes in the hour of sunrise...

All I Need
05:08
|
|||
It's not all that much I am asking for
It's not all that much I need
It's not very many things I dream of
It's not very many things at all
It's not how you always have known me
It's not what I was like in the past
It’s not even something you have seen in me
It’s not really like me at all
Still in those eons and seconds
When I heard your call
Got all that I need in your presence
You bring it all
Ocean wide
Sea and sky
Reflecting in your eyes
Moon and sun
My only one
Fills my mind with stillness
Not any of the items in their window
Not any of the pictures on their wall
Not anything they can offer me
Not anything like that at all
Lost in those eons and seconds...
Ocean wide...
Moon and sun
My only one
Sea and sky
Ocean wide

Your Kind
03:53
|
|||
Can you feel how everything just, tick-tack slow?
Every time we meet in places like here
Though it’s really long since we spent time
I still can hear every sigh in your heart
So you ask, what changes have I made since last time?
What about love and friends and hopes and plans and dreams
Well you know, some days have passed me by
but I have not found any more of your kind
Though some time has passed
I sometimes wonder why our story did not last
Will you be a shadow in my past a ghost
Haunting me tearing my mind in pieces
Will you be a mirage to my eyes
Since I have not found any more of your kind
I’ll walk along
I’ll keep it up
I’ll do my time
