Dance of Freedom 03:45
lyrics
buy track
I walked a thousand miles across the barren fields Destroyed by greed, blind hate and grinding wheels I saw the flowers fade, I watched the sun go down And then peace died without a sound I asked the morning star just how much we could give Brother killing brother, never to forgive There has to be another way to carry on Before the last white dove is gone So let us dance the dance of freedom Stop the fighting let sunlight fill your heart Dance the dance of freedom Take the chance to end this bitter war I sailed into the dawn, I rose up to the skies I found our leaders now caught up in their lies I looked into the heart of every man on earth And found the wish for freedom there So let us dance the dance of freedom Stop the fighting let sunlight fill your heart Dance the dance of freedom Raise your hands, it's not too late to start Together we are strong against the rulers of this world Together we can make our dreams come true Let us dance the dance of freedom Stop the fighting let sunlight fill your heart Dance the dance of freedom Take the chance to end this bitter war Dance the dance of freedom Raise your hands, it's not too late to start Dance the dance of freedom Stop the fighting let sunlight fill your heart Dance the dance of freedom Raise your hands, it's not too late to start

Child of the Sea 03:55
lyrics
buy track
I grew up by the sea, a long time ago I was a child of the coast and the cliffs below When my heart was weary, I spoke to the waves While they soaked up all my tears Now my feet touch the white sands again But my traces won't last too long They'll be washed away by the incoming tide Before the day is done I'll board my ship, I'll set the sails, I'll follow the wake of Columbus I won't look back, I will not wail, I'll follow the light of the dawn I grew up by the sea, a long time ago And I shared with her all the secrets I know As the times were changing, I could still hear her voice She was with me all those years Now my feet touch the white sands again But my traces won't last too long They'll be washed away by the incoming tide Before the day is done I'll board my ship, I'll set the sails, I'll follow the wake of Columbus I won't look back, I will not wail, I'll follow the light of the dawn I grew up by the sea, a long time ago But wanderlust drew me into into the unknown I climbed all the mountains, I walked every street But my longing still remained Now my feet touch the white sands again But my traces won't last too long They'll be washed away by the incoming tide Before the day is done I'll board my ship, I'll set the sails, I'll follow the wake of Columbus I won't look back, I will not wail, I'll follow the light of the dawn I'll board my ship, I'll set the sails, I'll follow the wake of Columbus I won't look back, I will not wail, I'll follow the light of the dawn The light of the dawn

The First Day of Summer 03:22
lyrics

I can still recall December days of snow And April's unsettled moods not so long ago The sky was dark, it rained all day And summer seemed so far away Now I don't wanna wait no more I'm coming on over and knock on your door All I really wanna do Is to spend this day with you Now the sun is here to stay Can you feel it, too? All I really wanna do Is to walk out on the beach with you All I really wanna celebrate Is the first day of summer All the clouds moved away, and kids play in the park The time has finally come, I can feel it in my heart Now May is over, June is here And it's my favourite time of year And I call you on the telephone I'm coming on over cause summer is here! All I really wanna do Is to spend this day with you Now the sun is here to stay Can you feel it, too? Let us swim out on the lake Like we did so many times before All I really wanna celebrate Is the first day of summer Every moment we spend together Here on the beach with this beautiful weather Is making me happy more than words can say All I really wanna do Is to spend this day with you Now the sun is here to stay Tell me can you feel it, too? All I really wanna do Is to walk out on the beach with you All I really wanna celebrate Is the first day of summer

Little Things 04:02
lyrics

It's the little things that make me smile It's the little things that get me by Cause no matter where I go I always see them there: little things A flower in my neighbour's hair The smell of cinnamon in the air I don't need no sensation No 15 minute-fame No LSD injected in brain It's the little things that make me smile It's the little things that get me by Cause no matter where I go I always see them there: little things A yellow Beetle on the street A ladybird crawling on my feet I don't need no cathedral No journey to the moon No house in Rome with 700 rooms It's the little things that make me smile It's the little things that get me by Cause no matter where I go I always see them there It's the little things that make my day It's the little things for which I pray And I hope that when you look around you see them, too: little things A needle which I just can't thread An ugly spider on my bed I don't like Monday morning When I stayed up till five I just don't like to say the word goodbye It's the little things that make me sad It's the little things that drive me mad The devil's in the details, driving me insane It's the little things that make me smile It's the little things that get me by Cause no matter where I go I always see them there It's the little things that make my day It's the little things for which I pray And I hope that when you look around you see them, too: little things

Making the Grade 03:27
lyrics

I know now I am nothing You laugh at my attempts "Oh, what a silly dreamer, Where is this going to end?" But I will never ever give up hope! The only real limits are those we impose on ourselves! One day the wind will carry me Over the clouds towards the sun And I'll tell you what Then I will be the one... who laughs I know the path is narrow And rocks lie all around Much strength and blood's demanded From those who fight their way But I will never ever give up hope! The only real limits are those we impose on ourselves! One day the wind will carry me Over the clouds towards the sun And I'll tell you what Then I will be the one... who laughs

The Sun Won't Shine at Night 03:46
lyrics

Your tears won't make it right I lost the will to fight I'm sick and tired of being the fool The sun won't shine at night The waters won't run dry The liars never tell the truth And I won't get back to you You and I were meant to be - I heard you say But it is too late to start anew The love you gave to me - it faded away You never heard me when I said what I felt for you The sun won't shine at night The waters won't run dry The liars never tell the truth And I won't get back to you Your tears won't make it right I lost the will to fight I'm sick and tired of being the fool So I won't get back to you I was in your dreams tonight - I heard you say Every word was painted with regret No matter how I tried - my heart wouldn't stay You didn't hear me when I said "Boy I'm going to leave you!" The sun won't shine at night The waters won't run dry The liars never tell the truth And I won't get back to you Your tears won't make it right I lost the will to fight I'm sick and tired of being the fool So I won't get back to you

Innocent Sinner 03:00
lyrics

I fear the night The darkness closes in on me I need a light I need to face my destiny And maybe I will see Your face again I wonder if there is a chance My eyes open I watch the shadows as they dance I start to cry every time I think of you My heart will die if I don't find a way to you I fear the day The sun is burning on my skin I fade away Your door is locked I can't get in Tell me what was my sin That I deserve Hellfire's pain inside my heart I can't return I'm on my way into the dark I start to cry every time I think of you My heart will die if I don't find a way to you And late at night every dream I dream of you Can't close my eyes, I've got to find a way to you I fear the night But there is nothing I can do I just can't hide The fact I'm still in love with you

Sun Rise! 02:30
lyrics
buy track
Hasn't this been a deeply dark night? Haven't we made it through it all right? The shadows are fading now we've paid the price Come along and watch the sun rise! Blue sky, racing wind Let me feel the freedom of the width Golden sunshine, warm caress Chasing the shadows out of my heart The tears have been washed away by falling rain Flowing waters took away all our pain Stand up! Hasn't this been a deeply dark night? Haven't we made it through it all right? The shadows are fading now we've paid the price Come along and watch the sun rise! Yes we've made mistakes and deserved what we got But now we head back for the top Mine is the strength and the power and the will Yes I will make it Light air, free breath Taking the burden off my chest Open space, crumbling walls The path leads wherever I set my feet The valley's been crossed, what else shall we fear? The ascend may be hard but the danger we dare Go on! Hasn't this been a deeply dark night? Haven't we made it through it all right? The shadows are fading now we've paid the price. Come along and watch the sun rise! Come along and watch the sun rise!

Moonlight shines down to guide my path Stars make your silver shower heal my wounds Nightsounds so silent sing me into sleep Darkness cover me, I need to hide Darkness cover me, I need to hide Bring me dreams from distant worlds I've never seen Let me forget the unpleasant reality Far away, carry me On the wings of fantasy In a world where dragons fly up in the sky In a world where eagles teach me how to fly Take me there all the way No return, ever stay Seduce my mind with golden dreams Nightfall wipe away the thoughts of fight, pain and fears Nightfall wipe away the memory of cried tears Moonlight shines down to guide my path Stars make your silver shower heal my wounds Nightsounds so silent sing me into sleep Darkness cover me, I need to hide Darkness cover me, I need to hide

Wild Life 03:30
lyrics
buy track
I don't understand the rules I was born in They are not mine I didn't agree Why do I have to fit in well, be calm obedient and do what they tell? Life is much more than a chain of days all equal There is so much to be experienced in this world... I want to be free, taste the bittersweet winds of wild life Feel their austere touch, race with the clouds to the horizon of my dreams Dance in the light of the moon, sing with the trees our all mother's praise They are keeping us so busy Struggling for things we don't need and we do not want They're stuffing us, feeding us up and silencing our rebelling minds They do not want us to have time to think And see what we really have been longing for ever since... I want to be free, taste the bittersweet winds of wild life Feel their austere touch, race with the clouds to the horizon of my dreams Dance in the light of the moon, sing with the trees our all mother's praise Have you ever felt summer rain on your bare skin Have you ever walked fresh green grass with your bare feet Have you ever laughed out loud just because you felt like it? Then you might know what I mean when I say: I want to be free, taste the bittersweet winds of wild life Feel their austere touch, race with the clouds to the horizon of my dreams Dance in the light of the moon, sing with the trees our all mother's praise I want to be free, taste the bittersweet winds of wild life Feel their austere touch, race with the clouds to the horizon of my dreams Dance in the light of the moon, sing with the trees our all mother's praise
