Mother Earth

If mother earth could ever tell us
The truth about what she's going through
Then what do you think she would have told us
About the soot in her eyes, and the colour of her skies?
And what about the changing weathers?
The winter is warm, the summer rains
And what about rivers overflowing
Polluted and grey, what do you think she's gonna say?
A lonely world, cries rivers of tears
As it slowly dies, while nobody hears
Do we care just enough, to change it before it all ends
with another big earthquake
Yesterday night, while I was sleeping
The sun came and whispered in my ear
My rays are all blocked and my heart is weeping
You see, I'm broken inside – d'ya think anyone would mind?
Young Johnny says: "Please tell me mama,
Why do those white bears disappear?"
- "Hush little child, you better sleep now,
And don't worry 'bout it all, It's not time to save the world.."

Love is Always Free
01:00

I used to be afraid
Of the love I have inside
And courage to be true was always hard to find
Until I realised
That love is always free
And that's where I wanna be
So I listened to the wind
As it called my name
Knowing that my life will never be the same
I'm keener than my future
And I'm braver than my past
I guess I'm free at last
Woooh
Woooh-Haaaa
Woooh, love is always free
So open up your heart
And you will see
Woooh, love is always free
I used to be afraid
But now it's plain to see
Woooh, love is always free

Sunlight

The first sunlight in the morning when I wake up
You are always by my side
I'm bound to love you
I'm bound to hear your voice
And that sunlight on my face
Is like the tender touch
Of first time summer lovin', yeah
I know I have no choice
But to fall into your arms
I wanna be with you again
You shall be there when I am lost
It's not a fantasy, it's real
And all the lovin' that I feel
Is surrounding me, allowing me to breathe
It's not a fantasy, it's real
And all the magic that I feel
Is surrounding me, allowing me
To breathe, to live, to love again forever
I just can't forget the first time
When you touched me by an innocent intention
It felt like never
It felt as if for good
And now all that I can think of
When you're lying here with me
Is just how much I wanna kiss you
And feel your lips so warm
But I'm aching from inside
I wanna be with you again
You shall be there when I am lost

Queen of Hollywood

What is up, what's the deal
What is fake, what is real
Butterflies in her eyes
Singing sweet lullabies
City lights running wild
As she’s waving goodbye
Blinded by their lies
Broken home, broken heart
Brand new clothes, brand new start
Every pain has it's pill
Nothing hurts, nothing kills
She will rise, she will fall
She can handle it all
As long as she's famous
Shattered hopes, shattered dreams
She is falling between
But you won't see her crying
Fantasies make her numb
Hollywood, here I come
Can't you see that I'm flying?
What is wrong, what is right
She won't mess up this time
As long as she's perfect
She'll be alright
Perfect face, perfect pain
Something's lost, something's gained
In the race for whatever
There she runs, there she falls
There she loses it all
But she'll never stop trying
Now she can touch the stars
Hollywood, here she comes
Can't you see that she's flying?
What is up, what's the deal
What is fake, what is real
Butterflies in her eyes
Singing sweet lullabies
City lights running wild
As she’s waving goodbye
Rest in peace, little child

Saying Goodbye
01:00
|
|
||

I
Am saying goodbye
To all that I used to know
And you, you know what to say
To make me feel safe
Like you're gonna be with me all the way
And baby if you're leaving
Then why are you deceiving?
And if you are deceiving
Then why am I forgiving
Every time you leave?
All that I wanted
Was to turn back time
All that I needed
Was the touch of your hand
All that I wanted
Was to turn back time
So I could be with you again
But all that I needed
Doesn't matter now
You see I
Am saying goodbye
But you never told me why
How could you just walk away
And leave me astray
When I gave you all that I had to give?
And baby if you're leaving
Then why are you deceiving?
And why am I still calling out your name?
And if you are deceiving
Then why am I forgiving you
Every time you leave me?
Why now?
All that I wanted
Was to turn back time
So I could be with you again
And all that I needed
Was the touch of your hand
And I only wanted
To believe in a time
When you would have loved me again
But that doesn't matter
It's all over now
And I don't know how
Or why
But I'll say goodbye
Now that my tears are dry
Never mind

Zoe

Who is she?
Staring at me through the mirror
The flaws become clear
I can see
All that I wished I could be
Is that even me?
The pain, the blame
All the things I'm ashamed of
And everything that I'm afraid of
Suddenly, become real
And that girl
She knows me, she's calling my name
She's not the same
Zoe, Why won't you look at me?
I am that part of you that needs to believe
That someday you'll come back to me
And set me free
Tryin' hard
To imagine what I could've been
And all the things I would've seen
And where's the child in me? - I can't remember
I know she would've helped me through
But I can’t even look at you
She is asleep somewhere deep
And only the tears that I cry
Will remind me how she used to be there
I wish you could stay here
Just to remind me that I can feel whole
No matter how deep I fall
Zoe, You are the child within me
Zoe, Why won't you look at me?
Please don't give up on me, I need to believe
That someday you'll come back to me
And set me free
Come set me free

Today of All Days

You say it's enough
It's been too long
You can't take it
You say it's too much
And much too late
To make it
You wanna give up
And let it go
‘Cuz you're tired & cold
You just wanna let go
And you wish to break free
From this disarray
And take the easier way
But when everything is wrong
The nights are too long
You may find the answer
When all hope is gone
And you can't go on
You may find yourself
Today of all days
You cannot lose
At the end of the road
Maybe it's time to choose
Maybe it's time to conquer
All your fears
Now out of the flames
Through the darkness
You arise
Look at your light
Shining stronger
You're alive
You can't pretend
To be happy
When you cry
And you can't remember
How good it feels
Just to smile
So you're running away
From the voice in your head
Thinkin' you could out run it
But you're losing instead
And you're running again
Into the night
With no end in sight

Shooting Star
01:00

|

I was cold
And all alone
I couldn't see
What was out there for me
Then a shooting star
Was aiming far
And found me in between
Then shed his light on everything
And he reminded me to hold my head up high
And to believe in me when no one else would try
And just to know that I am strong
And always feel like I belong
Was what I needed for so long
And he is everything to me
The one who came and set me free
From all the pain that I was under
He showed me what I couldn't see
And he had opened up my eyes
And made me feel like I could fly
Now he's the star
That's always shining In my heart
Every day
In every way
Always by my side
Yes, he's always on my mind
But now I know
That I can fly away
And never be afraid
'Cause I have nothing left to hide
So I'll spread my wings and open up my heart
And I'll show the world I'm not afraid to start
And no matter near or far
You know we'll never be apart
My one & only shooting star
Now he is watching over me
He's making sure that I believe
That I remember where I came from
And that I hold on to my dreams
So I’ve opened up my eyes
For now I know that I'm alive
And he's the star
That's always shining
In my heart

Daddy

Someday
I'll find a way
To make you understand
Just what you did to me
I wonder how
You can never see
The way you're hurting me
You don't care, it's not fair
My heart is longing for you daddy
I need you to say you love me
I need to know you're always there
My heart is breaking for you daddy
Would you take all the pain away?
There's only so much I can bare
So don't you break my heart again
For too long
I've been hanging on'
Hopin' you might
Turn around and look at me
The more I wait
The more I realise
That you will never be
All the dad that I need
My heart is longing for you daddy
I need you to say you love me
I need to know you really care
My heart is breaking for you daddy
Would you take all the pain away?
There's only so much I can bare
So don't you break my heart again
My heart is longing for you daddy
I need you to say you love me
Why can't I be your little girl
So don't just stand there while I'm bleeding
Can't you take all my pain away?
There's only so much I can bare
So don't you break my heart again
'Cause it's not fair
Daddy it's not fair
Don't you break my heart again

The Losing battle
01:00

From the happiest days
And the magical nights
And the wondrous things he had shown her
From the touch of his face
His smile, his embrace
And the beautiful words he once told her
Remained the bitterest taste
The anger, the waste
And memories covered in shame
Now she no longer smiles
He is leaving today
And she's left alone once again
He said: "Well, here is the truth
You see no one but you"
But she didn't know any better
She wasn't able to tell
Between loss and betrayal
That her life was derailed by her anger
And through blood, sweat and tears
She was ready and fierce
To defend all the walls she had built
Only to realise
That throughout all the fights
The biggest loss was her light
And as days passed her by
She was able to find
The truth that was lying within her
Then she bloomed like a flower
As she gave up the power
To be saved in the toughest of hours
Then she learned how to give
And relearned how to live
All that's left is to finally forgive
So that maybe, in time
She'll be ready and then
Love will find her again

Awaiting the Dove
01:00

Water run through our souls
Lead us to who we are
As we live in a fantasy world
Reality crumbles, gets mixed up in a dream
All alone between darkness and light
Who do we pray to, that would make it alright
Makes no difference what you believe in
We're all children of god
I looked at sky with a tear in my eye
As I hoped for the dove to come by
I know in my heart it is bound to come flyin' in time
Hold on to your faith
It'll take you back where you belong, and carry you home
'Cause when you believe then you know you are never alone
It gets harder not living a lie
So practice your honesty every day, every night
Take a look at yourself in the mirror
And learn how to love yourself just as you are
Behind closed doors, between pleasure and pain
Who do we turn to, just to make it ok
It makes no difference what we believe in
As long as we pray
I looked at sky with a tear in my eye
As I hoped for the dove to come by
I know in my heart it is bound to come flyin' in no time
So hold on to your faith
It'll take you back where you belong, and carry you home
'Cause when you believe then you know you are never alone
And if you believe then you know you are never alone

You’re on the run, I know
You’re on the run, I seen it
You’re dodging the bullet, you think you can pull it off
It’s your pain that you’re eating
It’s your self-control that you’re feeding
Then you’re eating, then your heeding, then you’re bleeding
I know you’re afraid, I know what you’re doing to yourself
You’re lost in the lies, you’ve been telling, everyone else
How long has it been since you’ve seen yourself truly
for who you are? Have you wondered too far?
Can you look me in the eye and tell me
That everything’s ok, when it’s not
I can’t buy this ugly lie you’re selling
Cause I see you from Inside
There’s no need to run & hide anymore
You’re on the run again
You’re on the run, you’re spinning
You’re losing you’re hope, just please make it stop
It’s yourself that you’re killing
So you numb the pain, there’s no feeling
There’s no dealing, there’s no healing, you’re not willing
I think you should leave, I’m doing better on my own
Get out of my life, get out my head, ‘cause I can’t take it anymore
I really need you gone but I’m holding on
Without you I’m nothing, you’re my only friend
I bet you wish I was dead
Don’t you look me in the eye and tell me
That everything’s ok, ‘cause it’s not
I won’t live this lonely life you’re living
So I’m leaving now
‘Cause I know me from Inside
There’s no need to run & hide
Yes I know me from Inside
And I refuse to run & hide
Yes I know me from inside
But I won’t live this lonely life anymore
