Feel the Warmth Inside
04:03
|
|||
|
Inside of me there's a river,
That will take me home, and I shiver
Like a child in a boat, sailing with tattered sails
It has taken me forever to realize I will never
get a better view than that of the ever changing sea
That is where I want to be
Taken me forever in this freezing weather
To dare to dip my hand into that icy black water
Feel the warmth inside of you,
Keep the cold out of your sight
And though the waves keep me afloat,
there is something that pulls me down
And though I soon will reach the shore,
there's that song that sings its sorrowful theme:
Feel the warmth inside of you,
Keep the cold out of your sight
Feel the river in your heart,
as it flows into the night

Good Night, Sleep Well!
03:55
|

|
Slip away from this world,
Let go of the pain,
Take shelter in the night,
Let it wash away the strain.
Lay your head down and rest,
Let the stillness drift away,
Feel the calmness in your heart,
As you drift off to stay.
Good night. Sleep well and dream colorful
Tomorrow we will see eachother again.
(We will meet again)
Let the darkness envelop you,
Let the night embrace your soul,
Know that you are safe and loved,
As you let go of control.
The morning will bring a new dawn,
The sun will rise again,
Until then, may sweet dreams fill your night,
And bring you peace and rest.
Dive into a sea of colors,
Let the hues wash away the pain,
Let the blues soothe your worries,
Let the oranges warm your heart again.
Glimmering greens and vibrant yellows,
Soft purples and delicate pinks,
Let the colors of the rainbow
Bring joy with all their tricks.
Let the darkness of the night,
Be filled with all these hues,
Let the colors bring you solace,
A comfort that will soothe.
Let the colors of the morning,
Bring a new start to the day,
Until then, may sweet dreams fill your night,
And bring you peace and rest.

Loneliness and the squirrel
In a keep of ancient make,
I doth sit and oft' do ache,
Mem'ries of love and days of yore,
Fading like a sunset's o'er
In the silence of mine mind,
I hear the echoes of the past,
A love that could have been divine,
But now 'tis forever cast
Loneliness, doth creep in slow,
Echoes of a life aglow,
In this keep of stone and wood,
I am but a lonely hood
But as I lay me down to sleep,
A rustling caught mine ear,
'Twas a little squirrel, so fleet,
Who chased away mine fear.
With a twitch of his nose,
He brought me a rose,
In that moment, I knew,
I was no longer alone.
Loneliness, doth creep in slow,
Echoes of a life aglow,
In this keep of stone and wood,
I found a squirrel's brotherhood

Day Job
03:00
|
|||
|
I'm looking for a day job
What can I find?
Has no credentials,
I'm out of my mind
Got no social competence, I'm gettin' so blue
But I'll keep on looking,
Till I find something true.
Cause I know there's more to life,
Than just getting by.
I'll take whatever I can get,
And work hard, this time I make a better bet
Day job, a day job,
I'm searching for a day job.
Gotta make a living,
Gotta pay the bills
I won't give up, I won't back down,
I'll keep on fighting till I am found
A day job, a steady pay,
That's all I'm searching for today

The One and only One

reset and rewind
a new year changes our minds
reset and rewind
now let us all be kind
let peace now and forever be present in our minds
let peace shine forth like the sun
reset and rewind
shine forth like the sun
reset and rewind
shine forth like the sun
let there be peace for everyone of us

Carry On (Flight Songs)
07:14
|
|||
|
Carry on, carry on
Fly on, bird, follow your dream
Carry on, carry on
The birds are singing on the wing
The Nashville warbler and the lark
and the common yellowthroat
are all famous for their flight songs
A slow and rising flight
is followed by a quick descent
When they do their famous flight songs
Maybe they warn their mates of a predator
and keep the attention onto themselves
What a selfless act of caring!
That's how we all should be ... and to fly free!

Nu är det jul, är det nåt vi saknar?
Inte klapparna, och maten den smakar!
Men titta djupare i tingens själ
Naturen kallar på dig!
När ekorren kommer är julen här!
När ekorren kommer är julen här!
Tomten sover, tyst det är i husen
Men i granen och bland alla ljusen
ekorrar hoppar och tittar fram
En god jul det önskar dom
När ekorren kom så var julen här!
Vi längtar alla efter något
Som kan värma och trösta ett hjärta
När vintern frågar: vad vill du ha?
Svara: Fler ekorrar, Ja!

Sad Satellites
04:31
|
|||
|
Life, please don't be cruel
I'm a fragile soul
Please don't be so cruel
I'm no self-made man
Am no-one on my own
But I can make my day shine bright
Never worry 'bout the days to come, my friend
Worn-out words, but they are actually quite sane
Thoughts they come and go despite all efforts made
Life's a mess, but let me get some better years
According to my own surmise,
am I hard to surprise,
but now I wonder, watching satellites
Feeling sad at night, I see the satellites
passing over the night sky

The Cloud of Unknowing
02:38
|
|||
|
What is stable when the wind blows?
In the turmoil, in the chaos?
When the the ground shakes, and the head aches,
what is stable ... to rely on?
I don't know, I don't know
The cloud of unknowing surrounds you and me
It has a shadow cast by the moon
The cloud of unknowing behaves like a fool,
but sprinkles its wisdom to the ground

People are coming and going
they are showing the best part of themselves
But there's nowhere to hide
if you're out there striving
to compete among the rest
The social ones - you see them and you think that you know them
but their dark sides are hidden very well
The quiet ones - you feel them although you never see them
they are there and they do the real work
It doesn't help you if you're hard on yourself
It doesn't help you if you're hard on yourself
It doesn't help you if you're hard on yourself
Oh no, don't be hard on yourself
Move on as if you're on the right track
Move on as if you're on the right track
Move on as if you're on the right track
Oh yes, as you are on the right track

Christmastime in Ukraine
04:07
|
|||
|
I'm tired of listen to this shit
War all the time on the news
Can't this man for even one minute shut up and listen to the truth?
There are people dying over there
Guys like you and me
What they are fighting for, I don't think they know themselves
Don't want to hear about it no more
So easy to just close off and let that crap go on
Until nobody really cares
But I know we have the potential and the power to stop it now,
if we really want it, if we really need it
We're all connected in this web of life that steers all of our lives
So even if you yourself for the moment feel no hope,
there is always someone by your side
that has the strenght to push a tree
that clear the way for others to come through
A small movement in the right direction can cut a whole forest along it's way
And suddenly there is noone, even that man, that can hide among the bushes
in his cowardness and his greed
I now it's doable, I know we can do it, we can stop this man, we can end the war,
even prior to Christmas, if that is really what we want, if that's really what we need
Christmastime in Ukraine
Let everyone have a peaceful time

Så gott man kan
03:33
|

vid din sida står en man
som gör så gott han kan
bränd, men ändå så skör
när ska täcket falla
för envar och alla
så vi ser pånytt igen
tänk om vi kunde se rakt genom
alla lögner
å, vad vi gjort oss till
tänk om vi kunde se rakt genom
allt

Dagarna

|
dagarna kommer och de går
morronen följer och vi tar vår kaffetår
åren går och går
och vi skördar det vi sår, där där vi står
om du känner igen dig
ta pulsen på min arm
tickar det fortfarande
lever jag trots allt

jag är en liten ekorre som hoppar runt i träden
jorden den är vacker men det är inte mycket med den
tiden den är inne för att kasta allt i elden
nu startar vi på nytt, kom så tar vi fighten
kom så tar vi fighten
ser du horisonten, där böjer sig planeten
fötterna bränner så, marken den är het den
marken den är het den
varför sa ingen nåt när jag var en liten
nu är det försent, alla tittar bort, världen verkar sliten,
tycker världen verkar sliten
men allt är inte som det verkar
allt är inte som man tänker att det är
jorden ligger där i värkar
och ingen vet väl riktigt vad som tittar fram

Rain
02:26

2this water keeps falling
just in order to make me insane
just so because to make me insane
the water world is calling
rain, rain, rain, is falling on
my head into my brain
the waterworld is calling
when drops are gently falling
when my world is upside down
rain is always pouring in my mind
thst's what I found
