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...

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

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...

As long as I can
The question is in me, it is so strong
Can this, my good life last, if so, how long?
What is my motivation to go on?
Have I become
A selfish man?
So I sat down and did something
Now a portion of my money goes
Towards free education and development for those in need
And it has lifted a burden from my heart
For now when I'm in pain, feel sorrow start
I can remember that somewhere, some day this month
Someone can learn because I gave this money to this cause
Even if it's just a day, an hour

With the code and the notes
Sometimes I ask
What's the point, what's the reason?
And what I answer depends on the season
In winter it's warmth, and in summer it's joy
But there is this thing that I keep coming back to
My whole life this one thing was true
With the code and the notes
With the songs and the rhymes
With machines I make run
And the bell that chimes
I've known all along that my soul inclines
To create what's of use
To create what's of beauty
Until my sun sets that's my song and my story

My heavy heart
I want it to be light again
My heavy heart is all in vain
It brought me nothing but this pain
That for a while made me insane
The fear of missing this and that
Is running like a crazy rat
Among the corners of my heart
My heavy heart, my heavy heart
The fears, the fears that are not true
"Someone will come, take it away
What if I stumble, if I stray?"
My mind just waits for any cue
To race away with fear and sorrow
To spend time thinking of tomorrow
Of years to come, of what will be
And it's never...

This Symphony
I close my eyes and breathe
The voice tells me to let it all go now
I made it here, I made it this far
A cause for celebration
Although each moment seems so certain
It is really an unknown quantity for all of us
So be here, rest a while
For this is not promised
That you can breathe
Minutes pass in breathing
And then the first note chimes
The symphony begins
A pinprick of light begins to form in my chest
It begins to fill my body
I want to rest here forever
The grandure of all the things I can have ...

The flame of the skies (A Wheel of time tribute)
Upon the plane, the shadow-filled plane she rides...
We're gathered here to make our last stand
We're gathered here to bring the end
The end of an age
The threads are woven
One final command
And the story is told
Lights flashing, ground burning, the fight has begun
Of fires from the skies dies the shadow spawn
The power descends, and when the battle ends
The light stands alone
In their hearts burns the flame
Upon the plane, the shadow-filled plane
Rides the hope of the light
Rides Tar Valon's flame
...

Truth and Beauty
Great mysteries breath through me
The sounds are so enticing, I am slicing
It all apart, back and forth with my own mind
In an eternal quest to give truth to the blind
Hear my voice echo over seas and valleys
To cast the spell, to unleash hell
Upon those who would deny my message
Do you hear me? You must, it is your sole purpose and lust!
Lead by the strings, in your heart it sings
And the beauty of the supposed deep short-circuits the pathways
That would normally tell on me
Be silent neural pathways as I speak to free!
