The Road 05:13
5 the road i’m a walker on a road, or is the road walking me i don’t know. I been walking endless miles, i fighted and I fell but I made my way till here, till now. thanks to all the stones on my road thanks to all the holes in my ground thanks to all the hands reaching out to me… i’m a fighter for love and truth, or does truth fight through me, i don’t know. i’ve been drowning a hundred times, but I got out and healed the pain with a sore eye in the ceasing rain. thanks to all the stones on my road making me stronger making me appreciate life more thanks to all the holes in the ground making me wiser helping me to find my inner home thanks to all the hands reaching out to me, they are teaching me to keep my heart wide open despite everything I see. when i’m out at the other end of the tunnel that I’m in i call you back again it was you who got me in, it was me who agreed to everything cause no one ever reached me like you did. thanks to all the stones on my road thanks to all the holes in my ground thanks for all the love that we share thanks for all your passion and care thanks for breaking the walls of my heart, you see, you’re teaching me to keep my heart wide open…

6 victory or defeat with my sadness and my silence I could make you say it, finally make you say “I’m sorry” theses words seemed extinct in your world yet the mean the world to me is this here my victory or my defeat? what does victory really mean? nobody is perfect I heard but I demand it from me I demand it from you too forgive me if I am too hard it’s my way to deal with this vulnerable heart the question what’s right and what’s not will always linger in this heart of mine, in this heart of mine… I can finally release those tears from when you didn’t come home when you didn’t come home, yesterday getting hungry for your arms hungry for your touch hungry again.

The Frames 03:18
7 the frames from the first time that I looked into your eyes I felt like coming home from the first time that I held your hand I was right at home but the frames have been set before and I’m waiting with the regret to been too late again. seasons have passed and winter is at hand and I’m still striding around what’s it all about this searching for my home if it’s not with you where is it then? but the frames have been set before and I’m waiting with the regret to been too late again once more why is it so hard to just let you go? I can’t be with you I can’t be without you why is it so hard just to let you be if I can’t forget you I can’t be free but the frames…

So Near 03:44
8 so near hold my hand baby and I hold your hand safely here we met where the rainbow touched the ground i looked you deep in the eyes, you looked me deep in the eyes we sank into each other a wave rose inside of me, a wave rose inside of you carried our souls so near to each other let’s go back to where you found me baby wau wau chérie damalanrop let’s go back to where I found you us remember this… rap: demnen loundondem dëdët dematunu dëdët naniudem naniudem bulgësu daginau gogeso muniau luniau luniau lu waral luniau dëdët bugëna dëdët hamatuma dëdët fojom dëdët funiujom kai kai fi, kai kai fi soma diege duma wait damai hamne mbeuguel la! translation: darling, I love you! but did we really do, what we wanted? No! did we go to where we wanted? No! let’s look back to our past and let’s not be sad about all the difficulties we went through! I am confused… where do you go? Where are we going? come to me, if we’re close I am not alone and I feel loved.

9 night on lakotaland the stars are so bright in the night on lakotaland the sky is so clear with you near while you hold my hand I feel the ground beneath still warm from the sun your breath is in my ear and you’re singing a song we lay arm in arm your body’s warm I know just who you are even though we just met here we bet on counting shooting stars I feel you move in me while you’re singing your song your breath is in my ear and I hear me singing along we heja he weja we heja wa heja heja a hawk flying high his eyes drew mine he cycles out of sight…

10 where you’re from see these grounds, see the mossy rocks, the majestic trees on the hill top hear these sounds from the silver streams hear the rolling waves from the deep blue sea she’s your mother she gives you all you need gave you a warm body a tongue to speak fresh air to breath and a heart that beats she’s your mother she loves you endlessly gave you two feet to dance to her beat step softly upon her… light of day reflecting in morning dew it’s golden rays dancing in the afternoon milky way in the black night sky it’s shimmering stars like diamonds high he’s your father he made you all you are he’s your blanket of stars the song in your heart and he leads you through the storm and the dark he’s your father, he loves you endlessly unconditionally run run I see you run away there’s no need to run away the won’t leave you behind child run run I see you run away there’s no need to run away they’re always by your side child and you run and you run and you run… he’s your father … she’s your mother …

Blue Eyes 04:50
11 blue eyes where are you now with your blue eyes? where are you now with your blue eyes? with the dolphins and the sharks deep down in the blue with the mola mola in the dark rising upwards to the moon you are where the light has no power where everything turns into blue the colors need the sunlight like I need you where are you now with your blue eyes? where are you now with your blue eyes? caught up in a mermaids charms deep down in the sea i’ll come and tear you out of her arms take you home with me you are where the light has no power where everything turns into blue the colors need the sunlight like I need you where are you now? where are you now? where are you now with your blue eyes?
