Free 03:20
Free I hear you say That you don’t like how I am different, That I can’t do the things I do. You say you heard the neighbors talk about me and you can’t believe the things I put you through You tell me I should change my mind, My clothes, my hair and who I am. But don’t you know that this is not your business cause I Don’t really give a damn Cause I fly free into the morning sky And I feel that every new day gives me wings I don’t know where I’m going But whenever I arrive I will make sure I always feel alive. You say The world is bad and so uncertain. And you’re afraid of all the change. But you don’t see that fear just compromises your chances Just open up your mind And you fly free across the morning sky And you feel that every new day gives you wings You won’t know where you are going But whenever you arrive Make sure that you will always feel alive. Mid part Maybe you think that I don’t love you That I am selfish and unfair. Well, you know, I’m trying hard not to hurt you But this is my own life so be aware That I fly free across the morning sky And I feel that every new day gives me wings I don’t know where I’m going But whenever I arrive I will feel alive Cause I fly free across the morning sky And I feel that every new day gives me wings I don’t know where I’m going But whenever I arrive I will make sure I always feel alive. Yes I don’t know if I ever will arrive But I will make sure that I live my own life.

Time 04:28
Time I can hear the clock tick away, I’m looking for something, Something with meaning that will stay So many things I should do But I can’t seem to choose what is due. Take a look outside the window, The world’s moving on While I sit here in my room... What will stay when I’m gone? Still I hear the clock tick away The seconds, minutes, hours, how they run. Did I use them in a meaningful way Or are they lost and gone? Time is a healer For the wounds cut into our heart Time is a killer Cuts our life until we fall apart Every day we give a little piece of our lives - to time. So many things I never did before, So many adventures, So many roads I could explore. They say wisdom comes with age But all I feel is my mind is stuck in a cage. When one day my curtain falls I hope that I won’t regret that I missed out on many things because I just wasn’t ready yet. As you hear the clock tick away are you doing something Something with meaning that will stay? What is left when your curtain falls And you hear your final call? Time is a healer For the wounds cut into our heart Time is a killer Cuts our life until we fall apart Every day we give a little piece of our lives to time. What remains is just the strong belief that what we did has set a sign. Time - ticks away until we fade Time - reveals mistakes that we made Time - is healing all the pain Time - is the only thing that remains Time is a healer For the wounds cut into our heart Time is a killer Cuts our life until we fall apart Every day we give a little piece of our lives to time. What remains is just the strong belief that what we did has set a sign.

Home 03:43
Home Well, well, well, what’s happening? Another trip to Stressland. For two more weeks I disappear, leave my private life to quicksand. All my friends think actually that I’m going on vacation. I leave them to their strong believe while I fly across the nations. My, my, my, what’s going on? Why are people just like cattle? I’ve been standing in this line so long, until it finally got settled. Hours later in my hotel room I fall down on my bed. I could use a little nap this noon but I have to leave instead. Wherever I lay my head it never feels like home. I long for comfort while I’m gone. Wherever I lay my head somehow I feel alone. I clearly know where I belong. Well, well, well, what’s on my mind? Another night in worktown. We roam the streets and try to find a place where we can chill out. We’re having fun, eat and drink have some real good conversations. But when I go to bed I think about all my obligations. Wherever I lay my head it never feels like home. I long for comfort while I’m gone. Wherever I lay my head somehow I feel alone. I clearly know where I belong. My, my, my, what do I say? I still love what I do. I escape the rut from time to time, and there’s always something new. Different places and the people there are a great thing to explore. But as the days go by I miss my loved ones even more. Wherever I lay my head it never feels like home. I long for comfort while I’m gone. Wherever I lay my head somehow I feel alone. I clearly know where I belong. Well, well, well, it’s never easy and the lesson that I learned: It’s great to go out and explore and even better to return.

Change 02:50
Change Some are living in a phantasy Some are living in the past Some make up their own reality Others hope that today will last. There is something that I have learned: Things are changing all the time To keep up is not always easy But it can be rewarding if you try. Sometimes life will try to bring you down, Sometimes it will push you on. Sometimes big things seem so meaningless It's the small things that make up who you've become Sometimes I ask myself if I’m the one I always wanted to be. But as long as I stay true to myself I can make my peace with what is me. Change is the only constant Change defines who we are Changes will break you down Or make you shine like a star If you are searching for liberty but the prison is your own mind - never give up, never give up, never give up If you are searching for dignity but dishonor is all you find - never give up, never give up, never give up If you search for humanity but viciousness stays at your side - never give up, never give up, never give up Whatever may stand in your way, don’t give up and open your mind. Change is the only constant Change defines, it defines who we are Changes will break you down Or make you shine, shine bright like a star Change is the only constant Change defines who we are Changes will break you down Or it will make you shine like a star

Better 04:07
Better One’s for certain, I’m not the easiest person to live alongside and still you do. So many times, I know I really give you more than a hard time, but still you’re true. I just hope you’ll never lose your faith cause you’re everything to me. You know the answers to my questions ‘cause you know me better. I can reach for the stars when you are near, Cause you know me better than me, better than me. Years went by, we had our ups and downs but never stranded, and still we go. I just know, we’ll never lose the path together, as long as you’re with me. You know the answers to my questions ‘cause you know me better. I can reach for the stars when you are near. When I struggle you can guide me ‘cause you know me better. There is nothing that can stop me when you’re here at my side. I can’t deny that I made mistakes along the way but still you always stood right by my side. I hope you know that I’m here for you at night and day, in raging storms or sunshine, clear and bright. You know the answers to my questions ‘cause you know me better. I can reach for the stars when you are near. When I struggle you can guide me ‘cause you know me better. There is nothing that can stop me when you’re here. Cause you know me better than me, better than me. Cause you know me better than me.

Music 04:53
Music It’s late at night. The world outside has gone to sleep in silver light the moon is on its way. I lie awake, reflect the day gone by Then the music in my head begins to play. Endless it spins, The song plays on and on and on. I can’t escape the beat, the sound, the voice inside my mind. And even when I’m dreaming the music plays along. Sometimes I have the feeling my life is just a song. and no one seems to see where I belong. Let the music play, Crank it up and just play another song. To company my everlasting daydream, And when I’m down it’s all I need to take another step and to keep me moving on. Oh please, just let the music play on (, play on, play on). You talk to me You tell me all these useful things. I hear what you say but I don’t comprehend. ‘Cause deep inside the jukebox in my soul has picked another track to entertain my day.

Trouble 02:59
Trouble There are times When clouds are covering the sunshine that should brighten your day And when your heart is filled with sadness and no light will shine to show you the way. If you feel lost and lonely just keep in mind There is a small thing only that will make your soul shine bright. Here is a simple trick that helps me every single time to lead the dark thoughts astray: When sorrow comes to bring me down a simple smile will push the troubles away, Yeah I’m smiling all the troubles away. So many times I have been struggling with the things in life I couldn’t achieve. And many days When people told me things I didn’t know what I should believe. Fell into desperation, No trust in me. But then to my salvation I remembered what sets me free So here’s a little thing that helps me every single time to lead the dark thoughts astray: When sorrow comes to bring me down a simple smile will push the troubles away. But don’t you push your sorrows too far away They will come back tomorrow But with a smile you can find a way So here’s a simple thing that helps me every single time to lead the dark thoughts astray: When sorrow comes to bring me down a simple smile will push the troubles away. Yes, a smile will push the troubles away Yes, I’m smiling all the troubles Awahahahahahahay Hmhm I’m smiling all the troubles I’m smiling all the troubles away.

Reasons 04:34
Reasons What’s wrong with the world today? When did the truth become an option? Weirdness becomes the rule and no one seems to ask any questions. The people believe in lies, and listen to all the weird stories. Can somebody stop the false preachers please and give us back a life in peace. False illusions lead to Wrong conclusions. Wilful deception leads to Misconception Don't you tell us all your shameless lies. You are the reason, the world is upside down. You don’t listen, you don’t compromise. You are the reason, why fools wear the crown. Where is the evidence for all the things that don’t make sense? Show me what you’ve got! A clown in the leaders’ chair, drunken from all the power. With sweet promises he glues the eyes of the people he tries to devour. He teaches us just to care for me, myself and I. But real strength lies in cohesion so We can only survive if we unite. False illusions lead to Wrong conclusions. Wilful deception leads to Misconception Don't you tell us all your shameless lies. You are the reason, the world is upside down. you don’t listen, you don’t compromise. you are the reason, why fools wear the crown, Where is the evidence for all the things that don’t make sense? Show me what you’ve got right now!

Falling 04:54
Falling Life was wonderful, beautiful, incredible times and the sun would always shine with no clouds in the sky. Felt like an angel came down to me to show me the things I searched for but could never find. You opened my eyes, gave me confidence, showed me the way to separate right from wrong. Nothing would ever change but then came the day when you told that I must be strong. You said you needed much more time for yourself It felt like you’re done with me and put me back on the shelf. You turned your back on me and I just felt like Falling from high up to the ground Scattered to a million pieces to be lost and never found I was falling down a waterfall of pain Drowning in a sea of tears to never see the light again. Now I ask myself all the time how in the world it happened that I have been so blind. I built my life around you only and left everybody and everything else behind. Later I found out so many things that you did as soon as I turned my back When we were together betrayal and lies were things I didn’t quite expect. I had to understand that changes can come fast. There is no guarantee that things are here to last. You walked away from me and I just felt like Falling from high up to the ground Scattered to a million pieces to be lost and never found I was falling down a waterfall of pain Drowning in a sea of tears to never see the light again. Still I would like to thank you, I learned a lot, you showed me what it means When every little thing that I thought I got is falling apart at the seams. I never thought I would ever experience breaking down like this. I just hope I will never have to fall again. I just hope I never will have to be Falling from high up to the ground Scattered to a million pieces to be lost and never found I was falling down a waterfall of pain Drowning in a sea of tears to never see, never see the light again, I’m falling down, falling down to the ground. Nothing would ever stop us, nothing could go wrong. Then came the day when I learned how to be strong.

Nothing 03:51
Nothing Closed the blinds Left the world outside I lay me down There’s no vision, there’s no sound. Close my eyes Open my mind Pictures come through Of the days I spent with you Left is just a dream Of places we have seen Memories flow like a movie in black and white A blurred out fiction of light I can’t believe you’re not here anymore So many words unspoken So many future plans So many dreams were broken As you didn’t get a chance Now here I stand With nothing in my hands The demons of the past Are here to stay and they last Until I make up my mind And leave the grief behind They say life goes on And I will overcome The loss that cut a hole into my heart, That I just need a new start. But you will live on in my thoughts and my dreams. So many words unspoken So many future plans So many dreams were broken As you didn’t get a chance. Now here I stand With nothing in my hands
