Do You Recognize Me
01:15
|
|||
Can you feel me within you?
Do you recognize me?
My body's gone, that is true
It's hard to touch what you can't see
In your heart a sun so bright
That is shining through the night
A spring that will never dry
Words that will never lie
Can you feel me within you?
Do you recognize me?
I cannot hold you in my arms
I'm no longer here
But memories will keep you warm
Chase away the fear
I'll always be by your side
Just think of me when it rains
Be kind to you my lovely child
Take good care of your pain
Can you feel me within you?
Do you recognize me?

Within
04:25
|
|||
I could spend my whole life running after a ghost
I could spend my whole life waiting for God knows what
Playing a part that sounds so fake in a play that will never be played
I could spend my whole life lying to myself
While the answer lies within me
I could spend my whole life digging someone else's ground
I could spend my whole life loving the wrong one
Hoping for a better future instead of living the moment
I could spend my whole life lying to myself
While the answer lies within me
You could spend your whole life dreaming yourself away
You could spend your whole life ignoring your own voice
Working as hard as you can at destroying your soul
You could spend your whole life lying to yourself
While the answer lies within you

You
03:20
|

No I can't be the only one
Searching for love under the sun
There must be someone looking for me
No idea where she could be
Just need a woman I could hold
Through the winters when it gets cold
There are moments I feel blue
Thinking that girl she could've been you
She could've been you
Does that girl in my dreams exist
Such a beauty you can't resist
Don't wanna sit here waiting for
Bloody luck to knock on my door
One day I know we will meet
That day for sure I'll fall at your feet
And it might sound too good to be true
But that girl she could've been you
She could've been you
You may say it's a silly song
Let me explain I won't be long
Don't know how the story ends
Are you my lover or just a friend?
Look at you, you're so pretty
I should ask you to marry me
Probably the best thing to do
'cause that girl, she could be you
She could be you

I'm In A Good Mood
03:05
|

I'm in a good mood
The sun is out
It's such a beautiful day
Feeling good
The summer's here
Love is in the air
I love birds, how they sing
Children running, laughing when they're playing
And for you, forever you
There is nothing I wouldn't do
I'm in a good mood
The sun is out
It's such a beautiful day
Feeling good
The summer's here
Love is in the air
Here comes the cat, gliding through
Tall grass, walking along with you
You're the one I adore
You're the present I've been waiting for
I'm in a good mood
The sun is out
It's such a beautiful day
Feeling good
The summer's here
Love is in the air

No Tomorrow No Yesterday
02:58
|
|||
I'm traveling off the beaten track
Can only do it my own way
There is no coming back
No tomorrow, no yesterday
I'm sitting here in the sun
Singing along with the birds
Not much going on
Three chords and a few words
I'm traveling off the beaten track
Can only do it my own way
There is no coming back
No tomorrow, no yesterday
Now the leaves they are falling
They're covering the ground
Soon I know I'll be leaving
Nothing's lost, nothing's found
I'm traveling off the beaten track
Can only do it my own way
There is no coming back
No tomorrow, no yesterday
We'll meet again my friend
Where the path becomes the goal
No beginning, no end
One heart, one soul
I'm traveling off the beaten track
Can only do it my own way
There is no coming back
No tomorrow, no yesterday
We believe we know it all
Yet we can't help but feeling small
Nothing to prove, no need to fight
No one's wrong, no one's right
I'm traveling off the beaten track
Can only do it my own way
There is no coming back
No tomorrow, no yesterday
I'm traveling off the beaten track
Can only do it my own way
There is no coming back
No tomorrow, no yesterday
No tomorrow, no yesterday
No tomorrow, no yesterday ...

Something New
04:41
|
|||
Afraid of the rain
Afraid of the sun
Afraid to starve
And afraid to shine
Afraid of myself
And afraid of you
Afraid to lose
Afraid to love
Today
I woke up
And fear
Fear was gone
Afraid of the sea
Afraid of the sky
Afraid to go
And afraid to die
Afraid of your eyes
And afraid of your voice
Afraid to see
Afraid to hear
Today
I woke up
And fear
Fear was gone
I am sorry
If love does not
Come out of me
So easily
Love is something
I never knew
Love is something
New

Not For Sale
05:43
|
|||
So much pain
And so little gain
Confusion
Corruption
So much greed
And mouths to feed
Starvation
Speculation
It's time to wake up
Time to stand up
Before we lose faith
In the human race
We need to share
Water, land and air
They're not for sale
Like the wind in my sail
We're not for sale
We're not for sale
We're not for sale
Not for sale
Not for sale
In a world of despair
Often so unfair
Let's get together
To make it better
We haven't tried it all yet
Is that all we can get ?
Let's start a new trip
On a brand new ship
Fueled by love
What we truly are made of
We deserve a piece
Of that joy and peace
We need to share
Water, land and air
They're not for sale
Like the wind in my sail
We're not for sale
We're not for sale
We're not for sale
Not for sale
Not for sale
Humanity
Living peaceful and free
Making one
With the bird and the tree
We're not for sale ...

Here And Now
04:43
|
|||
All you have to do is follow your heart
Get deep inside of you where you will find
Peace of mind
Peace of mind
Well you've been trying so hard to do
Whatever it takes to get accepted
The more you tried, the more you've been rejected
You can't find outside what's not inside of you
And all you have to do is follow your heart
Get deep inside of you where you will find
Peace of mind
Peace of mind
Look around, you have arrived
There's no need to rush, nowhere to go
Enjoy this moment that's all you have
It's alright if sometimes you feel so low
And all you have to do is follow your heart
Get deep inside of you where you will find
Peace of mind
Peace of mind
You have arrived
Here and now

Love
03:55
|
|||
Love is the only thing we need
The secret weapon in these times
Of war and greed
Make love our aim
That's the way to win the game of life
To stop the strife
To build a better home
For us
For love is just
Like a cradlesong
A voice we trust
The universal tongue
You don't have to search the entire world
Just open your heart and you'll find the pearl
It's not a fantasy
We can live in harmony
You and me
For love is a precious call
Rings out for all
As we sail the seven seas
The sun is shining down on each of us
As far as I can see
Whether rich, poor, young or old
Black or white
A sinner, a saint
We all live by its light
On earth
For love is just
Like a cradlesong
A voice we trust
The universal tongue
You don't have to search the entire world
Just open your heart and you'll find the pearl
It's not a fantasy
We can live in harmony
You and me
For love is a precious call
Rings out for all
For love is just
Like a cradlesong
A voice we trust
The universal tongue
You don't have to search the entire world
Just open your heart and you'll find the pearl
It's not a fantasy
We can live in harmony
You and me
You and me

The Child We Used To Be
03:36
|
|||
All that time wasted worrying
About every little thing I could find
It's not too late for changing
And leave the regrets behind
To live in the here and now
Is something we all can do
Everyday I bow
To the earth I walk with you
Just like we need all the seasons
Spring, summer, fall and winter
We're here for a reason
Let's try to remember
How to breathe, how to smile
In complete serenity
Make peace with the child
The child we used to be
Yes you've got all the fancy stuff
Yet you feel so empty
'cause more is never enough
Often less can be plenty
Be careful of what you think
That's the world you'll create
Between us there's a link
Let's make it love rather than hate
Just like we need all the seasons
Spring, summer, fall and winter
We're here for a reason
Let's try to remember
How to breathe, how to smile
In complete serenity
Make peace with the child
The child we used to be

And I Hope
04:48
|

You're acting so cheap
You don't even try
You behave like a sheep
Waiting for the day you die
Can't you see
You could walk a lighter way
I love you
That's all there is to say
And I hope one day
Yes I hope one day
We'll understand each other
And I hope one day
We'll understand
What's going on
In our lives
Well you think you're so deep
But your life is a lie
Wake up! You're asleep
It's time to learn how to fly
Can't you see
You could walk a lighter way
I love you
That's all there is to say
And I hope one day
Yes I hope one day
We'll understand each other
And I hope one day
We'll understand
What's going on
In our lives
Oh my love won't you help me please
I can't handle all this on my own
Ain't no good to keep
So much beauty inside
Get ready for that giant leap
Come on! Don't be shy!
Can't you see
You could walk a lighter way
I love you
That's all there is to say
And I hope one day
Yes I hope one day
We'll understand each other
And I hope one day
We'll understand
What's going on
In our lives

Before We Go
04:18
|
|||
We're not as strong as it seems
Losing direction as we focus on goals
That's not what we pictured in our dreams
As we were kids, still part of the whole
Each of us we've got something to do
Down on earth, you for me, me for you
Could be a long time before we know
What we are here for before we go
We have been trained to compete
And then we learned how to lie
We don't mind stepping on other people's feet
But when we come home we break down and cry
Each of us we've got something to do
Down on earth, you for me, me for you
Could be a long time before we know
What we are here for before we go
We could spend a lifetime running away
From our true nature going astray
We've gotta go through so much pain
And if we lose faith it'll drive us insane
Each of us we've got something to do
Down on earth, you for me, me for you
Could be a long time before we know
What we are here for before we go

Man and woman, friend or foe
In this hugeness where do you wanna go ?
Stop this thundering at your life
Don't get involved in all that strife
You are not alone
Deep in your heart you found a home
You are not alone
The universe is your home
A cypress standing tall on a hill
By a lake so quiet and still
A blackbird on a country road
Reminds you of a tale once told
You are not alone
Deep in your heart you found a home
You are not alone
The universe is your home
Breathing in, breathing out
You're alive, it doesn't make any doubt
The whole sky above
Is telling you to love
