Time will fly

Hear the chimes, calling for another day
Do you hear them ring?
Troubled mind, soaks up unimportant things
What will they bring?

The whole world is wired,
Many things occupy our lives, control our dreams

And time will fly
It will pass life by
What remains and what is here to stay
What outlives us, what is worth the play?

Read the signs
Try to find the perfect way, say can you win?
Cut the wire, compose the song
Only you’re supposed to sing

The whole world is wired,
Many things occupy our lives, control our dreams

And time will fly
It will pass life by
What remains and what is here to stay?
What outlives us, what is worth the play?
Oh will we know, will we ever see
What it’s all about
What this life is meant to be?

In the midst of the crowd

Running around, watch them running around
No sense to all this mindless running around
Feeding the engine, the big greasy engine
No satisfying the hunger of the engine

The future’s begun

Feeling alone, in the midst of the crowd
No communication, people talk to drown out
Everyone else
No excuses when the world’s about to go down
Where are the people who think and stand their ground

Slaving away, look at them slaving away
their worn out faces, traces of slaving away

The future’s begun

Feeling alone, in the midst of the crowd
No communication, people talk to drown out
Everyone else
No excuses when the world’s about to go down
Where are the people who think and stand their ground

Seize the day

Finally I know, finally I see
I need to change, these are no empty words
I was trapped inside a cage, longing to be free
I wore a thousand faces but none of them suited me

So I’ll try to find my way
After all that I have learned
I’m about to seize the day

It took me some time to hear that voice in me
No easy choice to listen to it
I used to close my eyes, save myself from reality
I was as blind as I could be

So I’ll try to find my way
After all that I have learned
I’m about to seize the day
My philosophy is plain for all to see
I’ll just go and seize the day

The place where I belong

Life has taught me everything worth knowing
And I’m grateful for the lessons I have learned
All the luck and joy that’ve kept me going
And all the flames where I got my fingers burnt

I’m not to know what the future has in store
But with new confidence I’ll open any door

Still I haven’t found the place where I belong
But as long as there’s a dream, the search goes on

I sometimes wished I could forecast things coming
But now I think it’s better not to know
Life takes its own course maybe for the best
Some faith will help to overcome each low

I’m not to know what the future has in store
But with new confidence I’ll open any door

Still I haven’t found the place where I belong
But as long as there’s a dream, the search goes on

The day of days

There's a tremor of excitement running through your veins
Something lies heavy in your stomach but you’ll stand the strain
your muscles tighten and adrenaline starts to flow
Put on your shoes, release the energy, it's time to go

You feel the day of days is drawing near, it'll soon be coming round
See yourself in the atmosphere of light, colour and sound
And you won't lose the game, this time the wind's with you
You're about to win, you're about to push things through

You concentrate, you visualize, this time you'll bring it home
You even hear the roaring crowd inside the athletes' dome
You're not the superstitious kind but you're gonna knock on wood
Soon you'll walk off with the trophy, this triumph will last for good

You feel the day of days is drawing near, it'll soon be coming round
See yourself in the atmosphere of light, colour and sound
And you won't lose the game, this time the wind's with you
You're about to win, you're about to push things through

This is my time

Your lips are moving, seems you talk
But I don’t understand a word you say
You gibber and you chatter and I wish I was a thousand miles away

I’m through with you, it’s the last straw, I am leaving

This is my time but you don’t see
Here’s my advice: don’t mess with me
Go your own way while I go mine
‘Cos this is my time, this is my time

You should have listened years ago
But maybe some mysterious delay
Has changed my message into something pleasant
Led my former words astray

I’m through with you, it’s the last straw, I am leaving

This is my time but you don’t see
Here’s my advice: don’t mess with me
Go your own way while I go mine
‘Cos this is my time, this is my time

Bring the dream back

For much too long now
I’ve felt like an empty shell
All reason lost, under an evil spell
I was searching for myself
Don’t like what I have found
Lightning has struck my tree to the ground

Release me
Free me from my misery
Blow the dark clouds away
Let me live again
Breathe new confidence into me
Don’t make me waste another day
…and bring the dream back to me

I was caught in my own trap
The stakes unbearably high
I tried to challenge everyone though I didn’t know why
That’s when I lost my faith, that’s when my skies turned grey
Now I’m begging you to help me find a way

Release me
Free me from my misery
Blow the dark clouds away
Let me live again
Breathe new confidence into me
Don’t make me waste another day
…and bring the dream back to me

Melancholy feeling

Melancholy feeling
Creeping in to stay with me tonight
Playing with my mind
Bitter-sweet nostalgia, got me in her grip
With all her might
Reminds me of my failures

And the world I once knew seems so unreal
All the colours blur then fade away
Could it be, my dreams got lost along the way?

Longing for some healing
Trying to see that life’s not black and white
And there’s so much left to find
I need something to believe in
I need some rest, some peace of mind
And leave the past behind me

And the world I once knew seems so unreal
All the colours blur then fade away
Could it be, my dreams got lost along the way?

It’s time to set myself free
It’s time to give things another try
Let me find what I have lost
And let this melancholy pass me by

‘Cos the world I once knew seems so unreal
All its colours blur and fade away
Time for changes, it’s the dawning of another day!

Dare the ride

I’ve heard it a thousand times before
Life is not a dream, I’d better face the facts
Before the bitter end
I don’t share your view, one thing’s for sure
There’s more to life than you’ll ever know
I’ll take a chance and have a go

I’ll keep on trying, even if I can’t win
won’t stop trying, I can’t give in

You say my castle’s built on sand
You say I will regret when it’s too late,
I’d better play it safe
Reason tells me you are right and maybe my heart’s wrong
But reason is no friend this time, it’s too late to change my mind

I’ll keep on trying, even if I can’t win
won’t stop trying, I can’t give in
Life is flying by and time is short
Now I’ve got to decide
Whether to hide myself again or to dare the ride

All my expectations

No more disappointment
No more spinning me around
I’ve had enough, I’m fed up,
Burned my wings and hit the ground

It’s nobody’s fault but mine
I think I knew it all the time
But that’s just me
I know water can’t be wine
Some things are great but not divine
I’ve changed perspective

All my expectations couldn’t help but bring me down
And I’ve learned my lessons, now my world feels safe and sound
I have waited for someone who believes
But now it’s time to move along
I have waited for someone to surprise me
Now it’s time for me to go on

It doesn’t mean that I give in
I won’t change direction come what may
To see things from a distance
Doesn’t mean that all my life’s turned grey

It’s nobody’s fault but mine
I think I knew it all the time
But that’s just me
I know water can’t be wine
Some things are great but not divine
I’ve changed perspective

All my expectations couldn’t help but bring me down
And I’ve learned my lessons, now my world feels safe and sound
I have waited for someone who believes
But now it’s time to move along
I have waited for someone to surprise me
Now it’s time for me to go on

Daydreaming

I was trying to find out the secret
I know there was a secret to disclose
I was trying to find a meaning
I know there was a meaning to it all

I feel I’m closer to it now
Suddenly I see and wonder

Am I dreaming, daydreaming
It’s much too good, can it be true?
Someone pinch me so I know I’m not dreaming

Now I know the secret
Creativity’s the secret, the key to every door
I’ve seen most beautiful scenery
Places I have never seen, never seen before

The vision’s here, I’m diving in
I’m diving deeper and I feel so free

Am I dreaming, daydreaming
It’s much too good, can it be true?
Someone pinch me so I know I’m not dreaming

Time of our lives

Life is a miracle, we cannot comprehend
Maybe there’s no need to understand
We might be the audience to witness the play
Even if we can’t follow the plot, we can still say

These are the days, these are the moments
Let’s get it right, it’s the time of our lives

We try to be spiritual, have faith and some confidence
We all expect life to make sense
We will find reasons to believe, maybe yearn for release
Pray for salvation but keep in mind

That these are the days, these are the moments
Let’s get it right, it’s the time of our lives

Feel the lifeblood running through our veins
Capture the spirit of the moment with our hearts
We all know that nothing’s gonna stay the same
So let us live, let us live!

These are the days, these are the moments
Let’s get it right, it’s the time of our lives

Feel the lifeblood running through our veins
Capture the spirit of the moment with our hearts
We all know that nothing’s gonna stay the same
Let us live, let us have…the time of our lives!

Endless sea

Find myself, walking down that same old pathway
I’ve taken many times before
My tired eyes are longing on this journey to see
Waves crashing on the shore

The endless sea, will carry me
And wash all gloom away

Then I inhale the air brought on the breeze to me
It tastes fresh and somehow sweet
All my fears seem so unreal, almost forgotten
I watch them slowly disappear

The endless sea, will carry me
And wash all gloom away
