The silver light on shimmering stones Two moons above the hill The breeze, the sound, like from a far I’ve found the passage still I need a space controller Another dimension ride A cave beneath the sea for me No static forms in bodies grey They are dealing with the wind A cry, a bridge, a painter’s fear Yet calming in the end This is my space controller Waiting to join again Sometimes never, sometimes now A force like beaming to the other side When we go there, we go there alone Don’t know when I’ll be back Is it a ticket to return? A flash without light to the other side When we go there, we go there alone Here I am in a world full of strangers Hidden re-arrangers of things that I know Here I wait for someone to say hello to Some curious souls to go to see the truth Here I start in the shadow of a mystery Exposing another history of mankind Here and now realities colliding Certainties go hiding under the tunes Coming from the silent moons

Help Me 06:20
Please, please, please, please help me Please, please, please, please help me This is the story of the day My confidence has gone away This is the feedback of the tide My timid eyes are panic wide Please, please, please, please help me Please, please, please, please help me This is the black-out of the bright The sunny day has turned to night The reappearance of the bane Like you it’s driving me insane Please, please, please, please help me Please, please, please, please help me Please, please, please, please help me Please, please, please, please help me now And when the door is closed Darkness surrounds my beating heart The shape of things exposed I see the gap of glory Peeping through, hoping to find salvation Silence cries, intensifies my sensation This is the story often told About a man who’s growing old This is no case of heresy Why is it dangerous for me? Discreet the sound, somewhere around, 
I’m on my knees now I’m ready to go, on with the show, I’m flying somehow And when the lance appears I’ll be the keeper of the glede Imprisoned are all my fears I am receiving A gentle flow, sparkling glow, my brothers seven A warm parade, light and shade, hell and heaven Please, please, please, please help me now

Spring 10:09
Smile, rest your heart Feel, time to start There’s a city in the stars Now we will save our souls We can fly We can fly Homeward to the sky We hear a thousand tunes Our light like a thousand moons There are butterflies to join us We will dance and sing Go sweep away the dust In love we’ll always trust See the world is full of beauty Treasure lifting now This is the soft parade of armies full of rhymes The uprise of former fools, the standard of future times Your hopes support the fertile ground Dreams will come true The birds in the trees Sing their song so happily Enjoy your day The leaves start to grow Babbling streams start to flow Green and blue Deep and true Lambs jump to the stars Right between heaven and Mars Hold me, spring The blessing of a simple kiss The whispering of the wind Distant sounds of a big big train The grace of the rising sun The sweetness of your sleep Share a joke with friends and a helping hand
4.
In Between 04:51
In between summer and winter In between night and day We face the storms We stand the shiver Because we know That the sun will shine, shine again On our hearts, on our minds, on our souls In between love and passion In between the borders of our veins We try to steer Our treasure islands Across the seas Just to find a bay, a bay of joy For our hearts, for our minds, for our souls In between fear and admiration In between the good and the bad We can be tall Or microscopic I‘ll never understand The way we barbarize, and rise again With our hearts, with our minds, with our souls In between life and the big nothing In between the gods and fate We can be wise Or creeping creatures We have to realise We‘re not the first in line, not the last in line To use our hearts, to use our minds, to use our souls In between reason and destruction In between the future and the end We choose our way For generations Because we claim That the sun will shine, shine again In our hearts, in our minds, in our souls
5.
Whenever I see you I feel angels in my soul The beauty of leading lights Is changing my role All I can say right now It’s a hub, hub, hub to the world No need to waste my time No need to be absurd Whenever I hear you I feel power in my veins The sorrow has fled to hell I’m losing all my chains Your melodies blow my mind And your bam, bam, bam alike Ready to take control Ready to free my psyche It’s always you, my love The sky above, the art of life, toujours Tomorrow’s in our hands The shifting sands, the flower field et l’amour Whenever I need you I can find you anywhere Exhibition or concert halls Or a teddy bear The offers are countless On the map, map, map of the day Don’t stop to turn around Don’t stand in our way
6.
Light 02:23
And there is no lie In a foolish dream And no sacrifice To your self esteem When you go, go There is hope to find When you light a flame They are calling soon And you know the name It is me, me, me Come on, take me to the stars I’m on my way and start to move We learn to burn, we have to wait To see the light
7.
They draw a line, the sky and the sea To warn the brave, to bait the sinner We set our sails for eternity To return to the shores we’ve been before The flickering lights, like a waving star The spit of land, close to the harbor The tunes of joy pouring from a far Enchanting sounds, carried by the wind No boundaries, the same idea The universe, ever expanding Another ship to escape from here To return to space and time All my strain, all my desire All portrayed in the wasteland The storm is true, the calm a liar Horizons weave infinity Sail on, sail on To the stars if you want to Sail on, sail on But I know you will stay Forever and a day Fly on, fly on To the stars if you want to Fly on, fly on But I know you will stay Forever and a day Scream if you feel like Ride, hide and seek Creep on a turnpike Try to be unique Stay if you go away Dance on every floor There’s an aim just by hearsay Waiting by the door Sail on, sail on To the stars if you want to Sail on, sail on But I know you will stay Forever and a day Fly on, fly on To the stars if you want to Fly on, fly on But I know you will stay Forever and a day There is more to life In an endless dream There are silent cries Like a brighter beam And it flows There is more to find In this eager game And it’s calling you Like a trembling flame There is more, more, more Lights, like a waving star The spit of land, close to the harbor The tunes of joy pouring from a far Enchanting sounds, carried by the wind No boundaries, the same idea The universe, ever expanding Another ship to escape from here To return to space and time Sail on, sail on To the stars if you want to Sail on, sail on But I know you will stay Forever and a day Fly on, fly on To the stars if you want to Fly on, fly on But I know you will stay Forever and a day Turn your eyes up to the stars Get on your knees as if to pray Don’t hide behind your camouflage We start to fade Turn your eyes up to the stars Get on your knees as if to pray Don’t hide behind your camouflage We start to fade Come on, take me to the stars I’m on my way and start to move We learn to burn, we have to wait To see the light Come on, take me to the stars I’m on my way and start to move We learn to burn, we have to wait To see the light
