ALIVE
When life suddenly remembers my name
Making presents I’m not sure how to take
When light is asking the darkness to fade
And I still wear my darkest shades
Every illusion lost, every dream destroyed
I stopped searching for the light
To trust good fortune, I have unlearnt
The bygone years have taught me just how to survive
How to survive
Did I survive
I survived
Now I’m standing in the hallway, face the open door
Infrequently functioning, shaken to the core
My head commands to lift my heel and then to lift my toes
But I’m unable to appear, to make that step across
My eyes are staring at the line, the goodbye to the old
And the welcome to the new
I want to trust in what I’ve learnt
It’s time to start anew
And open up to all the wonders
Go grab a life
A wonderful life
I am alive

CALIFORNIA MOUNTAINS
From the California mountains
To the highlands in the sun
From a windy day in Brighton
To a market street in Rome
From a drunken night in Berlin
To a bar in New Orleans
From a good old friend in Aberdeen
To a stranger in blue jeans
I have never found a place to call my home
Where am I now, right now
Who am I now, right now
From a lonely night in winter
To a sunny day in June
From a sad song on the crossroads
Perfectly in tune
From a rainy night in Georgia
To another love supreme
From a girl in Ipanema
Back to California dreams
I have never found a place to call my home
Where am I now, right now
Who am I now, right now

HOT
Sweat’s pouring in the heat of the night
Burning desire, it’s feeling all right ‘cause it’s hot
So hot
I can see clearly the thoughts in your mind
But I don’t care, ‘cause it’s feeling all right
It’s so hot
Hot
Shivering fingers exploring your skin
Mixed emotions, we know it’s a sin but it’s hot
So hot
Give us a break, cause we’re driving too fast
Let’s spend the moment, for sure it won’t last
Give us a second, we gotta calm down, slow down
Just keep on moving, we’ve got to slow down, cool down
Cool down
It feels like dancing, your rhythm is mine
You make me crazy and we’re flyin’ so high, it’s so hot
Hot
Can feel it comin’, I’m ready to shine
Can feel it comin’, time after time
You drive me crazy, we’re flyin’ so high, it’s so hot
Can feel it comin’ time after time
Burstin’ emotions in the heat of the night
You drive me crazy, we’re flyin’ so high, it’s so hot
Hot
So hot

INNOCENCE
He gave me years of innocence
He gave me love and confidence
He had his dreams, they were not mine
It´s been a long long time
He told me how to live my life
He never asked, he gave advice
He lived a million miles away
From my reality
Scary nights and lonely days
Drenched, so far apart
He didn´t know, he couldn´t feel
The rhythm of my heart
Time has passed, the years are gone
I´ve learned to live all on my own
But somewhere deep inside of me
I still can hear him say
You´ll always be a son of mine
I´ve set you free, but keep in mind
You´re coming back from time to time
To my reality
Scary nights and lonely days
Drenched, so far apart
He didn´t know, he couldn´t feel
The rhythm of my heart
I didn´t argue nor resist
I left him on his own
I went away I passed him by
And now he´s dead and gone
Dead and gone

LET THE ANGELS SING
King and queen have lost their land
Desperation's at command
It’s over
Another day in agony
And all my words come back to be
Don’t you know it’s over
When all the fighters are too tired
To call each other evil liars
Let the angels sing until tomorrow
Lay your weapons down and stay with me tonight
Don’t you know the war is over
And we’re getting old and colder
And the reasons to be proud
Will come back to the ground
The arguments have lost their strength
No one’s looking for revenge
Innocence has passed away
Faded into grey
While the angels sing until tomorrow
When we lay our weapons down and stay the night
‘Cause the masquerade is over
And we’re getting old and colder
And the reasons of our pride
Will slowly fade away
Who decides what’s right or wrong
No one knows who’s weak or strong
Innocence has passed away, faded into grey
Fade away

MUSIC AND YOU
Once in my life, catching a rocket to the stars
That’s what I’m looking for
Counting raindrops in the clouds of yonder skies
Changing points of view, leaving all behind
Once in my Life, dancing with starfish in the sea
Slowly sinking to the ground
Slightly wondering what Sir Neptun has to say
Telling dirty jokes to everyone around
So many places, so many things I’ll never see
I've got to understand the word reality
It’s an illusion, never coming true
What stays is music, music and you
Just an illusion and just one clue
The answer is music, music with you
Once in my life, banning the cannonballs to hell
Turning deserts into green
Spreading loud and proud the sound of liberty bell
Drying teardrops from a face I’ve never seen
So many reasons for the one I’ve never been
Back to reality, I’ve got to comprehend
It’s an illusion, never coming true
What stays is music, music and you
Just an illusion and just one clue
The answer is music, music with you

NEVERMORE
In the days when we were younger
The days when we were strong
In brighter years a long long time ago
A taste of revolution
Feelings in confusion
Confident though far away from home
Believing in a future
Where dreams are coming true
Believing in the strength of me and you
The sky was wide and open
We could have changed the world
But it appears that only one thing has come true
I will never be a hero
Never save the world
But I am not afraid, as long as you’re with me
Well, it’s easy to remember
But hard to understand
And nevermore is such a lonely word
Now the taste of revolution
Causes feelings of confusion
Time has slowly changed my point of view
Wondering ‘bout tomorrow
All day and all night long
Too young to die, too old to start anew
The sky once wide and open
Was impossible to reach
And in the end there’s only thing coming true
I will never be a hero
Never save the world
But I am not afraid as long as I’m with you

SEVEN DAYS
This could be heaven
This could be time
To spend some evenings on my own
Well, I don’t mind
Switch off the light
Turn off the phone
Disconnect the cables
Leaving all the world alone
Counting the minutes
Admit I never knew
About the efforts
Of collecting just a few
Adding them to hours
‘Til the moment when I’m sure
That you’re coming back to me
The day I’m looking for
Sven days
I’m sitting here and wondering ‘bout the million ways
Of killing time, I know it’s just a silly game
I’ve got to wait another seven days
Seven days
The silence’s getting louder while I sit and pray
The darkness turns to sunset, I just sit and wait
I’ve got to hang on for these seven days
The gap is getting closer
Time has passed away
Wasting all the minutes
All the hours, day by day
This could be heaven
But I realise
I’m breathing in, I’m breathing out
Just to survive

THINKING ABOUT YOU
Thinking about the lessons
Collecting my impressions
Of yesterday
Another Sunday morning
The world outside so boring
The pictures in my head slipping away
But after all there's so much more to say
It´s been a long, long time, we shared an hour, maybe two
Nothing special, loose contact, one of few
Oh, I don't know what to do,
I'm hanging around, thinking about you
Almost strangers, some hundred miles apart
Within a minute, you opened up my heart
Oh, I don't know what to do,
I'm hanging around, just thinking about you
We didn't look for glory, did not ask for fame
Just a summing up of lifetime and no one else to blame
Crowded celebration, people passing by
Lost your trace, no time to say goodbye
Oh, now I don't know what to do
I'm hanging around, thinking about you
Hanging around, thinking about you
I'm hanging around, just thinking about you
