How many roads you must walk
before you feel yourself in the dark?
How many clouds you must see
to notice you’re a fish in the sea?
How high a mountain you must climb
until you realize the fiction is time?
How many books on your shelf
before you find yourself?
Who are you?
What are you?
Breathe in and breathe out
Let’s flow through space-time
Breathe in and breathe out
Let go
The moment is now
How many people you will meet
until you get it we’re all toes on feet?
How many roots you let grow
before you find your flow?
How many lies you live
before you learn to fully forgive?
How long must you wait in the dark
until you find your spark?
Who are you?
What are you?
Breathe in and breathe out
Let’s flow through space-time
Breathe in and breathe out
Let go
The moment is now
On this home that we call earth
there’s a wonder that we call birth.
This change of state of our mind
creating bodies and getting blind.
And when I look throughout your eyes
I see universes, tries.
I see success, no failed attempt.
I see truth, no death and no lament.
This is us and the universe.
This is us and the universe.
Breathe in and breathe out
Let’s flow through space-time
Breathe in and breathe out
Let go
The moment is now

Dear Dreamers

Good morning streetwalker,
hello beggar.
Have a nice day, be seeing you,
now I feel better.
A coin for the old musician,
he brings the cold stone to life.
Talking to the sad man in the tramway,
I could elicit a little smile.
I am waiting for redemption,
I am waiting for the day
when trust and care
rules this uncertain land.
Dreamers, brace yourself
Dreamers, be brave
Dreamers, bring a change
Dreamers, be brave
Good willing faces,
they spread openness,
courage and optimism.
„Luck flows through the streets“,
a poor woman says.
In the moon light
I notice a laughing young face.
She goes home, she’s alone
and no one’s wondering.
Aren’t you waiting for redemption, aren’t you waiting for the day
when trust and care
rules this uncertain land.
Dreamers, brace yourself
Dreamers, be brave
Dreamers, bring a change
Dreamers, be brave
Where are the dreamers
dreaming of a free world?
Where are the dreamers
dreaming of a bright world?
Where are the dreamers
dreaming of a caring world?
Where are the dreamers
work for a better…
You are the dreamer!
You are the dreamers!
Beside you stands a dreamer.
Take her hand.
Take his hand.
Take your hands.
And work for a better world.
Dreamers, brace yourself
Dreamers, be brave
Dreamers, bring a change

In a world just in you deep inside
you can choose whatever you decide.
You can live, flow, dance and sing,
be aware of what your heart likes.
In the dark, in the cold, in the void
you are light, you are bright energy.
Your are earth and air and flame,
you are water.
This is love, this is love, this is love
This is truth
This is love, this is love, this is love
This is truth
You are god, sun and mind
Be as always the river
In a world full of void
filled with wealth.
Look closer,
abundance is in everything.
Our monkey mind distorts the information.
Our brain is a big radio station.
So take a look and enjoy this view.
Maybe for some of you this outlook’s new.
Just remember who you are within.
An endless being with a human skin.
This is love, this is love, this is love
This is truth
This is love, this is love, this is love
This is truth
You are god, sun and mind
Be as always the river
River yaya

Keyos

Keyos in her head,
Keyos made her sad.
She said “Keyos Keyos,
a feeling of faint,
my life makes no sense.”
Keyos in her bed,
Keyos made her sleepless, she bled.
She said “Keyos Keyos , I’m so tired,
I want to sleep in death.”
I can see your pain.
I felt the same a long time.
I can perceive your pain
cause I felt the same a long time.
I call out “go on”!
Don’t you know
Life is no one-way street
Soon you will truly feel
To be is beautiful
Don’t you know
Life is no one-way street
Soon you will truly feel
To be is wonderful
Keyos in his head,
Keyos made him mad.
He said “Keyos Keyos,
a feeling of void,
there is no way out.”
Keyos in his bed,
beneath a stool, a hook, a strap.
He said “Keyos Keyos ,
my nightmares are cruel
and everyday a part of it comes true.”
Many can see your pain,
they felt the same a long time.
They can perceive your pain
cause they felt the same a long time.
We call out “go on”!
Don’t you know
Life is no one-way street
Soon you will truly feel
To be is beautiful
Don’t you know
Life is no one-way street
Soon you will truly feel
To be is wonderful
Don’t you know
Life is no one-way street
Soon you will truly feel
To be is beautiful
We call out “go on”!

Let Past be Past
05:18

A dragon fly in white enjoys
sitting, resting on a leaf of five.
A children’s eye in blue comes by
watching, wondering
– facets blinking back.
Overwhelmed by contemplation,
jumping onto, laying on the back.
Wings start flapping,
they are hovering.
Coasting through
the purest kind of mind.
Let past be past
Nothing to find
Monuments tend to
make us blind
Emotionally strapped
in fictional roots
Let go, your tears
form something new
Let past be past
Nothing to fear
Focus the moment
Live now in here
One day a man got chosen by
a deep-sea fish in black to go along.
Trusting in it’s guiding light
he got gills and they sank to the ground.
In deepest water he was blind
but suddenly truly began to see.
He thought
„here’s no start and
here’s no ending“.
So he grew
to get a glowing whale.
Let past be past
Nothing to find
Monuments tend to
make us blind
Emotionally strapped
in fictional roots
Let go, your tears
form something new
Let past be past
Nothing to fear
Focus the moment
Live now in here
