Too many times words are floating out like never ending rain Too many people complaining over and over again Instead of going out they sit at home in front of a screen That’s how they’re getting lonely, bitter and obscene It’s about time to realize It’s gonna be alright, it’s gonna be alright It’s gonna be alright Too many people neglecting their inner voice Too many times pretending that they’ve got no choice Too many times it’s hard for them not to tell any of them lies Too many times they’re fucked up by their own miserable lifes It’s about time to recognize It’s gonna be alright, it’s gonna be alright It’s gonna be alright Too many times

It might be sweet or flaming wild Or even desperately disguised It might be cruel, yes, it might be mean Yes, it’s the strangest thing I’ve ever seen Can you feel my heart beating When I rest here in your arms Feels like time is fleeting And I’m falling for your charms It has the power to destroy you Yet, it’s the closest to divine And when it suddenly overcomes you You’ll be falling from cloud nine Can you feel my heart beating When I rest here in your arms Feels like time is fleeting And I’m falling for your charms And it took me by surprise To see what is happening No, it ain’t that nice Everybody’s trying to survive All I really know is I can feel your heart beating When I rest here in your arms Feels like time is fleeting And I’m falling for your charms Yes, I’m falling for your charms

I walk the streets at night Everything around me seems to be already dead I had no time to say goodbye I was unprepared It’s hard to live a life Knowing that a person that you love will never come back Try to put on a smile ‘Cause humor is the only way to overcome the sadness I must go on anyway The world keeps on turnin’ but I’m standing still I need to find a way To ease the pain It’s hard to live a life Knowing that a person that you love will never come back Try to put on a smile ‘Cause humor is the only way to overcome the sadness It’s only the rain drowning the demise It’s only the rain that keeps me satisfied It’s only the rain washin’ my tears away It’s only the rain, rain by night and day

I’ve been singing the same old songs Throughout the years some things have changed I’ve been writing the same old poems All those years have passed me by Now, it’s not time to sigh or cry or lie ‘Cause time will pass us by I’ve been running through the same old fears All those years, too many fears I’ve been crying the same old tears I can’t deny those tears have dried Now, it’s not time to hit it on the sly ‘Cause time will pass us by, bye, bye bye

Look at the beauty of this early evening scene How the light is slowly dimming It feels as if the sun is shining just for me Givin’ birth to new beginnings All the kids are running home to their mother’s plea It is time for dinner Childhood memories pop up in front of me Turning me into a grinner Shine a light on me Lighten up my heart Shine a light on me And I will play my part Shine a light on me On my day of atonement Shine a light on me If only for a moment And the moment’s gone Yes, the moment’s gone And the moment’s gone Yes, the moment’s gone Shine a light on me I’m beggin’ for forgiveness Shine a light on me Wash away the sadness I can’t help but wince Shine a light on me You’ve shone ever since

Back Again 06:55
I am sittin’ in the garden On a Saturday afternoon The sun is shining in my face Flowers they start to bloom Birds are singing To the harmony of my tune Summer’s knocking on the door Will arrive here soon, will arrive here soon No hesitation I am waiting on a song When I’m lucky One will come along Every now and then A bluebird flies Across the garden And up to the skies, up to the skies It’s a blessing I can feel it again I can feel it rushing through my veins It’s a miracle, I’m alive again I’ve learned my lessons, I am back again I’m back again Back again I’m back again

Free Bird 05:15
Waking up in the morning My doubts are fading away I’m gonna leave this city Gimme a reason to stay I wanna see the ocean The mountains and the sky Feel the sun on my shoulders Like a free bird on its flight Fly, fly so high Fly, fly so high Waking up in the evening My doubts they came to stay I didn’t leave the city Still I’m running away I wanna see the ocean The mountains and the sky Feel the sun on my shoulders Like a free bird on its flight Free bird on its flight Free bird on its flight

I heard it from a neighbor’s friend You always take it for granted I read about it on the internet You always take it for granted No matter if it’s fake or fact You always take it for granted You’re such a maniac You always take it for granted If you don’t have anything constructive to say You better keep your mouth shut and go away I heard in a public speech You always take it for granted I read it in his latest tweet You always take it for granted No matter if it’s true or false You always take it for granted Wait a minute, make a pause You always take it for granted You say you’re the only one who understands That sounds ridiculous, I mean, no offense You’re all blinded by the light That doesn’t mean that you’re right You always take it for granted Yes, you do

Did you come to love me Why’d you come today Who knows why Did you come to save me from the battles That I’m still fighting Within myself What can I say Everyone’s away but you’re there How did you know That I am still in love with you, girl Why’d you come today Can you tell me Why’d you come Did you come to save me from the battles That I’m still fighting Within myself What can I say Everyone’s away but you’re there How did you know That I am still in love with you, girl In love with you, girl In love with you, girl In love with you, girl

Where is your mind When the lights go out At the end of the day And how does it feel To be left alone Trapped in time and space And what have you done To change your ways Have you done enough And do you belong To those who Throw in the towel How does it feel When the lights go out What does it take To erase the doubts What have you done To change your ways Have you done enough At the end of the day How does it feel When the lights go out What does it take To erase the doubts What have you done To change your ways Have you done enough

Look, the sun is rising Let new days dawn Look, the sun is rising New dreams are born Look, the sun is rising A mellow, golden sheet Look, the sun is rising To life’s distant beat Look, the sun is rising It shines a light so bright Look, the sun is rising At least for those who try Look, the sun is rising And all the dew, it melts away Look, the sun is rising Just enjoy the play We live in peace now, we are lucky We are healthy and happy We live in peace now, we are lucky We are healthy and happy Don’t you go away, don’t you go Don’t you go away, don’t you go I say don’t you, don’t you go away I say don’t you, don’t you go away I said I don’t know where to run Don’t know where to run Don’t know where to run I say I don’t know where to run Don’t know where to run Don’t know where to run Sad, I don’t know where to run Sad, I don’t know where to run I don’t know where to run
