Within a second I can go back
Back to those places we spend our youth
Where we saw the world with childish eyes
Wasted no thoughts about the future

With selfmade bikes we conquered the streets
With paperboard wings we jumped from containers to sandpits
With eyes open wide and life on our side
We strayed through old railway stations and hid in old factorys
No worry bothered us
They just didn't exist yet

Half a life ago but not to forget
Cause this were the days my foundations were laid
Back there in the Berlin summer
Our summer

The longest road I went
Through the rain and through the night
So many years I spent
And pretend to feel all right

Although it is my fathers house
A cold aspect – stone on stone
What’s my avail for them?
Am I worth to annoy their lifes?

So I went through that door
It’s dads old farmyard though
I’m coming home once more
But home it isn’t anymore

An old tattered rag
Is bound to the pole
It waves in the wind
Home it isn’t anymore

You told me to see that your heart is caught in a trap
Of self protection, infraction and having confidence in me
But I don't know how to make you understand, no
Oh how can I show you, you're the one to watch the flowers grow?

Take my hands and I guide you to a world full of love
Full of laughter and quietude
Just a little bravery
Bravery

A wuthering sea with unfrequent reflections
I rarely can catch them but if I do I see you
Oh drop your armor and spread your hurt wings
And fly beside me, side by side in the slipstream of life

Take my hands and I guide you to a world full of love
Full of laughter and quietude
Just a little bravery
Bravery

Once you heard the ocean rush
You’ ll always bear that sound within
Once you saw the mountains rise
You’ ll always bear that sight within

Once you saw the starry sky
You’ll become aware of endlessness
Once you smell the rise of winter
You’ll feel elation and a dose of gloom

Ability of disremembering
Not meant for you to own
But keep in mind all of the loveliness
Be intent
Cause when it shows you never know

The whole world is passing by
And it feels like you could fly
All the doubts are left behind
They're all banished from your mind

So the wind blows through your hair
A taste of hope is in the air
All the haste has disappeared
With an easiness so weird

You feel the wideness of the world
Gaze the sun and then you realize
In your head there was a swirl
But now it's gone and all the darkness lights

Sometimes you better let things slide
Then maybe bad things turn out right
Take your time to bid farewells
And listen what your body tells

You feel the wideness of the world
Gaze the sun and then you realize
In your head there was a swirl
But now it's gone and all the darkness lights

Make decisions failed missions
Searching for higher wisdoms
Conquering the outer space
Converting the human race
Religious killing and blood spilling
Smashing environment repenting the consequence
Longing for authority
And abusing easily

I guess that’s usual
Human after all
And we can't change it
It lasts until we fall
One will accept it
The other one will squall
I guess that’s usual
Human after all

Self abandonment for a love
And give it up without a cause
Going beyond all boundaries
Crossing over widest seas
Philosopher and wheel inventor
Musician and banking center
Ability to imagination
And to concentrated passion

I guess that’s usual
Human after all
And we can't change it
It lasts until we fall
One will accept it
The other one will squall
I guess that’s usual
Human after all

What is necessary to count oneself
Alive and living well
Sometimes it’s hard to stay on track
And life’s a silent yell
Coming going weeping leaping keeping strength
No worthy recompense
All the struggle makes no sense
A nebulous suspense

If you wanna live an ordinary life
Jump down and fell that tree
If you wanna live in perfunctorily times
Reduce men by what you see
If you’re tired of resting and killing time all day
Get off your ass and give
If your world feels crappy and getting on your nerves
You unlearnt to see what’s bliss

Always struggling neither stoping or release
Nor able to believe
Will there ever be a way
Cause the signs so hard to read
Clock is ticking always running never stops
The hands are moving straight
How can one man seize the day
In confusion we search faith

If you wanna live an ordinary life
Jump down and fell that tree
If you wanna live in perfunctorily times
Reduce men by what you see
If you’re tired of resting and killing time all day
Get off your ass and give
If your world feels crappy and getting on your nerves
You unlearnt to see what’s bliss

Imprisoned in lack of prospects
Lost in a painful world
She didn't know where to turn to
Circling and struggling in a scarab blue swirl
But where darkness reigns light isn't far away
and waits for the moment to cut across
And there he came at the right point in time
Circling and struggling foreclosing the loss

It's true love, true faith once it began
The story of Wallace and Vivian
One mind, one kind over and over again
The story of Wallace and Vivian

So the years passing by and the band tightens
Both of them looking gladly ahead
Come what may

It's true love, true faith once it began
The story of Wallace and Vivian
One mind, one kind over and over again
The story of Wallace and Vivian

A warm rush of peace flows slightly thru your veins
As the blackbird call sounds softly from the courtyard birch
The loads of life not yet on your shoulders
But a quietly touch of childhood in your heart

And the cars they rushing by
The trains arriving
The beggar wants a cigarette
A child is crying
In the meantime
I step in dog shit
Traditionally
On a Berlin kind of day

A Berlin kind of day

Breakfast in the afternoon
At the chip shop
The boozers from the local pub
Going home now
In the meantime
A beggar bugs me
And the child still crying
On a Berlin kind of day

A Berlin kind of day

After all these years I can not lie
Both of our lifes gone different ways no doubt but
Why you didn’t call for help this day?
We maybe could have saved you telling you to stay
But you choose another lane
You took the wrong exit, the wrong train the last time
No more tears and no more fears
I can not stand the pain of loosing you

So why does the time not want to heal my wounds?
When will my heart finally face the truth?

Now we have to learn
To handle our own lifes without you
What you left here is a mess
A never ending nightmare full of tears full of fears
You forsook your loving wife
Left her here with nothing but a knife on her veigns
And your daughter goes astray
Like me she’s loosing way on every day

So why does the time not want to heal our wounds?
When will our hearts finally face the truth?
How can we stand a life without a fathers love?
No one to help! Not even help from up above!

A comforting tune that’s what you are
A sheltered lagoon. My shining star
A sea breeze in june. My end of war
A laughter in gloom

So I shield your light from storm
And keep you safe and warm

She comes along the hardest ways
The lowest lows and highest highs
A sure protection from the rain
My guardian angel my certain lane
A good advice in the nick of time
A helping hand a guiding light
in the darkest night without a blame
My guardian angel my certain lane

So don’t you forget to take good care
And watch for yourself. Beware of hate
Keep standing straight and call for help
Anytime

I will shield your light from storm
And keep you safe and warm

I'll come along the hardest ways
The lowest lows and highest highs
A sure protection from the rain
Your guardian angel your certain lane
A good advice in the nick of time
A helping hand a guiding light
In the darkest night without a blame
Your guardian angel your certain lane

Johnson raised the flag at the coastline under heavy fire
Nothing could prevent him from his intent. So he had to die

Our homes we had to leave
On a rainy days eve
And with me my neighbour Johnson
Who had lost his brother Steve

We were drenched with rain and tears
Full of hate and full of fears
With our rifles on our backs
The sound of war reached our ears

Johnson raised the flag at the coastline under heavy fire
Nothing could prevent him from his intent. So he had to die

Wednesday evening we reached the shore
A few hundred soldiers not much more
And Major Brook ordererd to camp
Could it be true? We were at war

The first gunshots hit our troop
Fast growing panic in the group
But Johnson began to shout:
“It’s our home it’s our proud“

Johnson raised the flag at the coastline under heavy fire
Nothing could prevent him from his intent. So he had to die
