suddenly it’s all right here before me
a whole place already stuffed with animals
they're fighting for a rabbit right before me
it’s really not a pretty scene to watch
But I can’t look away
but against all odds I’m the middle
that’s exactly where I want to be
join this heavy fight right in the middle
I hesitated first but now I’m in
And I can’t walk away
Cos I'm gonna be in for love
there’s room enough
for everyone to stay
I’m only in for love
bring room for love
for me and everyone
I’ve tried to stay away for quite some time now
I told myself it didn’t matter much to me
but living in denial for some time now
didn’t make me happy all the way
Cos I'm gonna be in for love
there’s room enough
for everyone to stay
I’m only in for love
bring room for love
for me and everyone

New Breed

I see beautiful people
and yellow roses, too
here a girl there a boy falling in each other’s arms
think this could be me and you
they make me laugh
I sit down on a bench nearby
overhear some of their talks
all their warmth and wit make me feel a little guilty
leaving me untaught
I’m about to get up
feeling positively struck
Out of all darkness
projected on us
come shining so brightly
deliberate with trust
a new breed of people
bringing some hope
to all of us fearful
struggling to cope
They look over to me
say will you stay with us
I apologise for all my preconceived notions
say they’re leaving me impressed
they burst out laughing
pat me on the back
tell me not to worry
I know what we lack

One Of Many Parts
03:03

how about doing something crazy today
maybe the opposite of what you have already planned
walk right but left and take this one other way
you've always wanted to be travelling to foreign lands
how about making love not war everyday
it sounds cliche but as the world seems to get out of hand
I really think it is essential to say
that there’s this indiscernible, indestructible, infinite dimensional band
I believe in rainbows
in every single color
let’s all believe in rainbows
the only path to follow
for we’re all just one of many parts
why don't you think of something heartfelt to say
maybe "I love you" or "I’m sorry" satisfies your demand
forgiveness surely works in every way
’cause there’s this indiscernible, indestructible, infinite dimensional band

When Elements Collide
03:49

when elements collide
all the chaos is creation
emotions swing and slide
up and down in this equation
what childrens hands chop down
is rebuilt a minute later
will never earn a frown
credit all to the creator
when all wounds are mended
the grief is gone
the end seems not the worst to come
it’s the hanging in
an infinite loop
waiting for someone to cut you loose
a peek from high above
onto promising new grounds
is mostly not enough
to abandon all your fear and take the leap
into the crack that opened up
when you fell back upon your trust
the very second as you realized you must
to move along but to back up
now that your heart knows what’s there
when all wounds are mended
the fear is gone
the end is yet the best to come
it’s to soar in the air
no bitterness
just sure enough you’ve got a lot to lose

Start A Movement
04:04
|

on a daily basis I am hiding out
rather stay in places safe than going out
but I’m well aware that this is not enough
not enough to safe the world from fear of love
when I hear of people standing up I’m proud
proud to share with all my friends and shout it out
but I’m well aware that this is not enough
not enough to change the world from fear to love
love for another
love oneself
love for the people
who merely act just for themselves
love for the bad times
love for the lows
love for the river
no matter how wild it will flow
Quite surprising how it works to shut all out
all that’s inconveniently getting loud
but I’m starting to believe that it’s enough now
just enough to start a movement towards love

still the water's clear and running
but the sun will dry it out
just as long as we are squandering
this most precious gift we got
not far from here it started smelling
just a bit but it gets worse
if there's noone brave enough to
make a difference, not just curse
You'll find me standing by the water
each day the same, I cannot move
I’m too involved now with my daughter
Just on my own, got my own groove
but only standing on the sidelines
is not enough to change the world
although we tend to ask for guidelines
I am afraid we know the word
to me a hero of our time
is someone who is brave enough to
defy the fact that she or he
may well be asked to chose yes over no

You Speak To Me
03:52

you speak to me
without a word I know
you learn from me
I learn as much from you
you make me be
the man I didn’t know
you let me see
the world as if it’s new
you make me laugh
you make me sigh
you force my heart to open branches
to process all of your smiles
you play with me
build castles made of sand
you stay with me
beyond those days we band
you make me laugh
you make me sigh
you force my heart to open branches
to process all of your smiles

In Between This Noise
03:15
|
|||
|
Not mad I know
but still I feel a lot
like losing my mind
You said it all
but once seems not enough
not even from you
in between this noise
all this real confusing noise
is a voice that says it all
oh so calm and soft to hear
but in between this noise
all this deafening noise
it is hard to keep the focus
real hard not to disappear
Not bad, I know
but also not enough
not even close
it hurts to see
but easy will not come
without some pain

I follow you to everywhere
with every single sense
no questions asked to everywhere
these days so mad and tense
I didn't see it all at first
the caravanserai
it seemed to me like home at first
but now i see the sky
open and promising
with thunderstorm and rain
so infinite and promising
some days are only pain
but as i look into the sun
my eyes get used to be
so deadly blinded by the sun
theres nothing left to see
but light in every corner of
the world and of your soul
the light is in each corner of
the world and our soul

Embrace
04:25
|

And then you share with me your wishes and desires
And I get furious and mad out of the blue
And even though you are the one I so admire
I can't control the fear and harm that it may do
I can't find out where all this fear and angst may come from
I cannot see beyond my shady inner ways
But what I know is that this isn't where I come from
I'm set to seek the light not only in my days
I know that I have to embrace
the 19 year old boy in me
But I can’t help but slap his face
So things will never change indeed
It's not that I won't share your wishes and desires
Sometimes I secretly allow myself to dream
But all these dreams are buried deeply in a mire
of insecurities that sometimes turn out mean
I know that I have to embrace
the 19 year old boy in me
But I can’t help but slap his face
So things will never change indeed
I know that I have to embrace
the stately man i grew to be
Someday we’ll live all of our wishes and desires
It may take time with me I ask you to forbear

All Of My
03:33
|
|||
|
All of my known obsessions
waiting in line for me
not to resist
Since I am not into posessions
Fill in the blank for what is
left to exist
It’s never been intoxicating
simply because I like to
stay in control
I am a master debating
whether or not this is the
right way to go
But then I tend to forget
that all of my thinking
is keeping me numb
my thoughts got my attention
under their thumb
my ship might be sinking
if I don't look ahead
in the end the now may seem not all that bad
Of all of my known professions
it seemed the most obvious
path I could take
But the fear of a great recession
made me sail round the best
mistake I could make
I was a master inflating
constant avoidance so it looked
like the truth
But playing was more liberating
than anything else
since the days of my youth

Let Loose
04:54
|
|||
|
Think of a river wide
Sail the ship as far as you decide
You will laugh and cry
feed the river with the tears you cry
Think of a mountain high
Meet the world with open arms
You will want to fly
close your eyes and feel the wind lift you up real high
Let loose
And if a valley low
blocks your view to see the light
the many tears you cry
cleanse your eyes to see the river wide
All you have to do
is let loose
