Stardust 04:59
It's all stardust what we see borrowed from eternity / All that we could ever do is be / It's all stardust what we say, build, create, imagine, pray / Hoping that it matters if we leave or stay / And so live I not knowing why / Doing my best to justify why I'm here / It's the memories that will stay got to live your life today / No religions needed to tell wrong from right / It's as simple as it seems holding on to all your dreams / Is the key to making your soul release your mind / And so I try since I know why / To live each day as if I die tonight / I can see it in your eyes telling truth or telling lies / Wondering what is right / Oh my, maybe you're right and I / Don't see through it all but why / Is the truth not always right / Shouting loud waving hands never knowing who understands / It's the loneliness of stars making suns into what they are / Shining signs of life that slowly fades away / It's all stardust what we are shining bright like all the stars / In the light of life that slowly fades away /And so I try since I know why / To live each day as if I die tonight

Lotuseater 04:55
Oh yes when I go out I take my time / I walk along no need to hurry that's just fine / I like to see all the things surrounding me / And you don't need to understand each and every detail / Of what I am or why I'm singing with the band / I'm a lotuseater with a thousand things in mind / Oh guess that's right / And I need to meet her she's the last one of her kind / And then at once like stars we align / You can take me seriously because I am / respect for you respect for me that was the plan / For all I know most things in life don't care for plans / If we keep trying there's a chance to learn from each other / So please join in when I'm singing with the band
3.
Sunrise 04:45
While tears kept subside the earth touched with the first ray of light / Some kind of overwhelming energy taking me away / Open skies, light touches eyes / Time flies as I watch the sunrise / Meeting the strange colored birds / While gliding along with them / Is asking them questions stupid or wise? / Dreamed yellow passages all turn out white / If I remember it right / And now a new one has opened to try and now I fly / Earth touched with the first ray of light / Lifting me high / I wish I could fly, see rolling hills from way up high
4.
Run 03:45
Sometimes you're slow you think about each step you take / Sometimes you purge your thoughts don't care if you are late / Sometimes you live your day without plans to make / Sometimes you run without a reason feeling great / Beautiful thoughts on your mind / You feel the air passing by / Find your way even blind / Don't need a reason to fly / Don't you stop - not just getting from a to b / Don't you stop - you're not that kind you're trying to see / Don't you stop - you're on the move faster and faster / Don't you stop - you run until you feel you're there / Today you overtake them all no doubt about / No hesitation, whisper, only scream and shout / It's so much fun you never felt like this before / If you speed up a bit you'll make it to the shore / Run - don't you ever turn back / Shout - the future is straight ahead / Run - like you never come back again
5.
Bright Eyes 04:12
I got fine red wine the music is right / I stand at the bar don't need my book tonight / I can see you talking at the other side / I catch a little smile when your eyes meet mine / Maybe imagined like I had to much wine / And then it happened again I knew I was right / Your look wipes away my fears / And all I have to know is what you're telling / With your big bright eyes / Big bright eyes, dark skin / You catch my eye is it me you mean? / You smile at me like there's no one else around / Big bright eyes, I can't believe / It's unexpected, it happened to me / I wanna know what is behind those big bright eyes / You said you were sorry you had to go / And if we'll meet again I said I don't know / Your friends already waiting by the door / So I ordered a coffee and said goodbye / And since that day the barman is wondering why / I'm sitting here wainting for you to smile at me again / Your eyes they were talking it's alright / You should know that you're on my mind all night
6.
Live On 04:10
Once when we first met I did realize what I would get / If I could only make you feel the way I do / Never come back down again flying high won't understand / that you were never really sure about me and you / I was open to reach you no more thinking only do / I felt so big when you said yes and now my heart is a mess / You who once saved me with a smile please tell me why / You who turned my world upside down please tell me how / I'm gonna live on / The only thing you left of me someone who thought that it could be / Someone that doesn't sleep for days / Life takes sometimes muddled ways / I won't blame you anyhow for how your heart behaves and now / should not be looking back I know but it's so hard to let you go / That I still love you is a fact even so you won't react / And this fact never seems to change I really have to rearrange / What am I going to do so we're finally through / First I couldn't believe but now I do / Keep on lying? While I die / Somehow I will live on
7.
You were walking by as you caught my eye / It was different from the times before / When love had bound me / As our souls collide I'm i love but still untied / You take all my foolish dreams / And make them come true / I know from this time that you will be mine / Your love came right on time you aimed and hit me / Yes I know from this time you're the one and you'll be mine / I knew, I knew it all the way we're here to stay / When I look into your eyes I know you ain't in disguise / And I loose myself in who you are / And what will be / When I feel your lips you gently move your hips / I know it won't be long from now / That we'll be flying / When I see your face I breath in your grace / Your look hits me, more and more / I'm melding with you / Whereever this may lead to I will follow you
8.
Lover's Gold 05:10
Once in a life everyone gets to know about / Once in your life you sense it, you have to act about / And some of us they may refuse to see / Cause they're so lonely and what chains them is the fear / Once in all time, emotional overload / Once in your time your heart it shines like gold / And you're still afraid to open up and feel / But you're the only one who's here to make it real / And I know - words can be true - even if mostly they're not / When digging - deep in your heart, you're able to find lover's gold / Maybe buried...but deep inside there's lover's gold / Once in your time you got to stake a claim / Once in all time you have to start to aim / Whatever your goal may be please stop asking why / Whatever you may find it will be worth the try
9.
High up there is the sand / Down low clouds touched by hand / Open my eyes to see / Things I thought they can not be / My heart knows I can be free / And all it wants is that you stay with me / You're the princess of the sand / Come take my hand and let us dance / Moving barefoot round and round / We both know there is a sound to which we can dance / Surrounded by the war / You know what to look for / Where others might see sand / You see the beauty of your land / Just spread your wings and fly / I can see us on our way up high / Dance...princess dance... / I can see the hesitation in your eyes / I am here to remove doubts / Like water filling cracks in the ground / You fill my deaf heart with sound / Touch the sky, float on sand
10.
You don't wanna hurt someone don't wanna get hurt / Your firewall is bulletproof wearing it like a shirt / You never intended to do what you do / But the one who just jumped off the cliff it is you / Free falling you hope that there is water down there / 'Cause the one who could rescue you isn't yet there / How could she know what you had in mind / You've not been telling her now you're in a bind / No way of protection no chance to hide / Whe your heart starts beating your arms open wide / There is no cure and no help from above / You know that you might get hurt but you're falling / In love / Now you try to limit the damage you done / Get your heart out of this again you are wrong / It's far too late for you to turn around / You wanna feel free but you're already bound / Look at the message that's shown on your phone / Well you are in trouble but you're not alone / Your senses said stop / But you went with your gut / Now you make yourself aware / That the moment to bury your hopes / Is not yet there
11.
Oh yes when I go out I take my time / I walk along no need to hurry that's just fine / I like to see all the things surrounding me / And you don't need to understand each and every detail / Of what I am or why I'm singing with the band / I'm a lotuseater with a thousand things in mind / Oh guess that's right / And I need to meet her she's the last one of her kind / And then at once like stars we align / You can take me seriously because I am / respect for you respect for me that was the plan / For all I know most things in life don't care for plans / If we keep trying there's a chance to learn from each other / So please join in when I'm singing with the band
