1. The Sparrows And The Nightingales
how long have you been free
in this world of hate and greed
is it black or is it white
letīs find another compromise
and our futureīs standing still
weīre dancing in the spotlight
where is the leader who leads me
iīm still waiting
leaving home
and God is on your side
dividing sparrows from the
nightingales
watching all the time
dividing water from the burning fire ...
leave a light on in the night for me
that i can find you
remember when we both where young an
reckless and so curious
now youīre hiding from your child ...
a new dayīs dawning
remember that you felt alive sometimes
and god is on your side
dividing cruelty from tenderness
watching all the time
dividing fiction from reality
move in circles walk the lines
no human being in sight
calm the winds and calm the seas
letīs try another kind of peace
who fights this holy civil war
a million men in uniform
wo ist der führer der mich führt
ich warte immer noch
leaving home
and god is on your side
dividing presence from the history
watching all the time
dividing deaf men from the listening ones
leave a light on ...
and god is on your side
dividing soldiers from the fishermen
watching all the time
dividing warships from the ferryboats
2. Once In A Lifetime
Itīs getting dark...to soon...a threatening silence
Surrounding me...a wind comes up from the islands
When distance fades to stormy grey
Washed out from the deep of the ocean
Here I will stand to face your wrath
While all the others are praying
Calm down my heart...donīt beat so fast
Donīt be afraid just once in a lifetime
No rain can wash away my tears
No wind can soothe my pain
You made me doubt, you made me fear
But now Iīm not the same
You took my wife, my unborn son
Torn into the deep of the ocean
I donīt pretend that I love you
īCause there is nothing left to loose
And when silence comes back to me
I find myself feeling lonely
Standing here on the shores of destiny
I find myself feeling lonely
I had a life to give...many dreams to live
Donīt you know that youīre loosing so much this time
Beyond the waves...I will be free
While all the others are praying
Calm down my heart
Donīt be afraid just once in a lifetime
No rain can wash away my tears
No wind can soothe my pain
You made me doubt, you made me fear
But now Iīm not the same
You took my wife, my unborn son
Torn into the deep of the ocean
I donīt pretend that I love you
īCause there is nothing left to loose
The love in you, it does not burn,
There is no lesson you can learn
And there are sounds you cannot hear,
And there are feelings you canīt feel
Calm down my heart...donīt beat so fast
Donīt be afraid just once in a lifetime
I donīt pretend that I love you
And this time Iīm not scared of you
