In this hand
Pandemics, wars
What will the future bring?
Only to a small degree
Is this dependent on my doing
But I know
That in this moment
I decide where I go
This is my stand
Because the present
Is in this hand
What will the future bring?
Only to a small degree
Is this dependent on my doing
But I know
That in this moment
I decide where I go
This is my stand
Because the present
Is in this hand

The cloud hand
There once was a little kid who ate out of a hand. When the kid was growing up, there was always enough to eat in the hand. In school the hand was full of good grades, in church the hand was full of good organ playing and singing. Out of this hand the kid ate adoration and success. Out of this hand the kid ate a good life where everything was fine.
But as it grew older, there were times when the hand was empty or even vanished from time to time. But the hand was never gone so long that the child would suffer from hunger. The hand always came back, and with it the security that he...

The wonders at my feet
I don't know what the future brings
But in this moment my heart sings
This moment is what makes it beat
These are the wonders at my feet
The quiet on a park bench
The rhythm of the wind
The pages that tell stories
The coffee in my hand
It is not tomorrow
Not milestones, not events
Not fireworks or festivals
It's what a quiet moment sents
The struggle is what makes me weep
But the rest is what makes my heart beat
Together they create the gems
The wonders at my feet
To use and rest is...
But in this moment my heart sings
This moment is what makes it beat
These are the wonders at my feet
The quiet on a park bench
The rhythm of the wind
The pages that tell stories
The coffee in my hand
It is not tomorrow
Not milestones, not events
Not fireworks or festivals
It's what a quiet moment sents
The struggle is what makes me weep
But the rest is what makes my heart beat
Together they create the gems
The wonders at my feet
To use and rest is...

A moment of simplicity
I turn, I strike
In a flawed choreography
But I make it mine
Each movement an expression
Of who I am
Unique
No input
No machines
Just me
And the next turn
In this I breathe
In this I live
It is
My choreography
In this I find
A moment of simplicity
In a flawed choreography
But I make it mine
Each movement an expression
Of who I am
Unique
No input
No machines
Just me
And the next turn
In this I breathe
In this I live
It is
My choreography
In this I find
A moment of simplicity

Afraid to love
I hope that there's a god above
It means that we will meet again
I dream of this, but until then
I fear I am afraid to love
My mother lost
My father lost
And in between a terrible cost
My mind was thrown into the storm
For years and years, for tears and fears
Insanity became my home
My heart now wears a coward's crown
Although I still do what I must
There is no passion, there's no trust
There's just this fear, this fear of loss
I want there to be love again
And though I don't know when and how
I...

When the stones fall
We're standing at the edge
The wind pushes us back
The starlight drives us on
Are we lost?
It all became so different
From one voice to a network of cries
From a line in the sand to cathedrals
When will we live in peace?
When will this madness end?
Nightfall arose
Mindwalkers tread upon our sacred ground
They still think this love is only ours
But it is not, it never was
The stories will tell of the time of the end
If we can not come to understand
That stones are not something to be...
The wind pushes us back

Are we lost?
It all became so different
From one voice to a network of cries
From a line in the sand to cathedrals
When will we live in peace?
When will this madness end?
Nightfall arose
Mindwalkers tread upon our sacred ground
They still think this love is only ours
But it is not, it never was
The stories will tell of the time of the end
If we can not come to understand
That stones are not something to be...

So full of life
Our lifes so full of strife
Our lifes so full of longing
Forgotten is the glory
Of breath, so full of life
To feel the holy silence
So far from pain and violence
The universe within
Just passes by, like every fear of death
Is gone in moments when I'm focused on the breath
If life is such a gift
Why do we never stop to sit and feel it?
Why is being alive not in itself enough?
In dungeon cell and prison wall
In cities, villas, and heavenly hall
To be alive is joy of all
If we just stop to listen to the moment...
Our lifes so full of longing
Forgotten is the glory
Of breath, so full of life
To feel the holy silence
So far from pain and violence
The universe within
Just passes by, like every fear of death
Is gone in moments when I'm focused on the breath
If life is such a gift
Why do we never stop to sit and feel it?
Why is being alive not in itself enough?
In dungeon cell and prison wall
In cities, villas, and heavenly hall
To be alive is joy of all
If we just stop to listen to the moment...

Knowledge
I have loved the books so well
But the decade that has passed
Taught me that the knowledge spell
Sometimes hurts to make it last
Through the fires that I went through
I learned things precious and true
Truths that burned into my heart
With a pain I never knew
What I lost I lost to gain
The truth that stands above all others
Without sanity my struggles
And my efforts are in vain
Fear has taught me, pain has taught me
But through joy I came to see
Even with a heart of sorrow
There is still a place for...

Brothers
The armies are gathered
The swords are out
Belief and knowledge at each other's throats
The heart of the peaceful coexistence is shattered
Vanity and ego is what this is about
On their sacred fields they stand
Online and offline they wage war
Tell me what madness this is all for!
They turn what is one into shadowed land
Until a voice will start to sing
A song that is not yet known
That can bring back together what really is one
On the field they stand
The swords are out
But now the song echoes over...
The swords are out
Belief and knowledge at each other's throats
The heart of the peaceful coexistence is shattered
Vanity and ego is what this is about
On their sacred fields they stand
Online and offline they wage war
Tell me what madness this is all for!
They turn what is one into shadowed land
Until a voice will start to sing
A song that is not yet known
That can bring back together what really is one
On the field they stand
The swords are out
But now the song echoes over...

Upon the flowers
Upon the flowers that I grew
There sits a devil who never speaks true
He turns their colors black
How can I get them back?
"If this fails you're a failure!"
Those are his words so strong
The knowledge that they're wrong
Is sometimes drowned out by the storm
The fear is deep within me
But past it I can see
That no future shame
Will make me have lived in vain
Failure is a dark noise
That can drown out everything
But it can not kill the melody
Of those who dare to sing
I like the songs that I...

It's ok
It's ok to feel like the world is ending
It's ok to have a sleepless night
It's ok when it's raining
It's ok when the sun is not shining bright
Having been through storms instills deep hope
That the blue sky can be out of reach but never gone
In every storm I learn that I can cope
Even though within the storm my heart feels worn
And sometimes you will feel that you're not made for this
Whenever this time comes focus on what you can do
For what you can't do is a universe of terror
But what you can do is the ship that keeps you...
It's ok to have a sleepless night
It's ok when it's raining
It's ok when the sun is not shining bright
Having been through storms instills deep hope
That the blue sky can be out of reach but never gone
In every storm I learn that I can cope
Even though within the storm my heart feels worn
And sometimes you will feel that you're not made for this
Whenever this time comes focus on what you can do
For what you can't do is a universe of terror
But what you can do is the ship that keeps you...

The king and the midnight sun
There was a king who lost his kingdom
His treasures all broken and gone
He went to find a new purpose
In search of the midnight sun
As the king arrived, broken and lost
At the house of the wise one
Asking what to do now that his kingdom was gone
She told him how he could go on:
"Your best effort
Thrown into the stream of what's to come
Keeps your head held high above the water
And thus you will not drown"
So out into the wild he went
Remembering hunting lessons lost
And for a time this is his life
To...
His treasures all broken and gone
He went to find a new purpose
In search of the midnight sun

At the house of the wise one
