Don't let this mad world rob you
Don't let it take away the sheen
Don't let the sadness grow and grab you
Don't let it take away that dream
For he who cannot hide
His envy and his pride
The curse of black and white -
For those who cannot see the stripes
So the zebra cannot hide
The weight of lonely lies
So the zebra cannot hide
And the lion doesn't sleep tonight

Build it up from the ground
Build it slowly and take your time
Make it solid and make it fine
Making sure you don't fall behind

When you find a piece of art
Hold it closer to your heart
Only one can make it right
Bringing all divine into the light

A brighter sun behind the cloud
Sing it sweet and sing it loud
Doesn't matter if you're high or low
The sun was shining like a treasure-trove

When you find a piece of art
Hold it closer to your hеart
Only one can make it right
Bringing all divine into thе light

Dark as the night, she's covered with ice
Frozen she sighs, 'she's ready, she's ripe'
Winds takes her higher
In the blackness of nights
There's no one beside her
When she falls from these skies
Fall from the skies
Like black holes in the sky

The deeper it goes, the higher she flies
A world of deception, illusion and lies

Winds takes you higher
In the blackness of nights
There's no one beside you
When you fall from these skies
Fall thru the skies

Dance with the crown, but you dance all alone
You dance all in white but your heart holds this night

Winds takes you higher
In the blackness of nights
There's no one beside you
As you fall thru these skies
Fall thru the skies

You read some more
You feel some more
You dream some more
And you're free to go
And all you used to worry about
No longer need to hurry

You drive home - you drive alone
No more fears - no more tears
This day is done - you had your run
Open your eyes awake and alive
No regrets - no room for bitterness
See the lights in the blue skies falling
No regrets - he knows what is coming
Tell what you find - 'bout the blue in your eyes
Riding home - just riding home

So death; is opening like a rose
So you're gone - you heard it on the news

Driving home - just riding home

You read some more
You feel some more
You dream some more
And you're free to go
And all you used to worry about
No longer need to hurry

So death; is opening like a rose
So you're gone - and you heard it on the news

Driving home - just riding home
So death is opening like a rose

Too many scars - too many thrills
Too many lost - too many kills
Too many drinks - too many pills
We shatter and frown

Too many hurt - too many years
Too many lost - too many tears
Too many bars - too many cheers
You've seen it run down

Too many eyes but no one sees
Too many lies - too much deceit
To finally see thru all the mirrors the mission goes on

Dreaming of an open sky
Of days where all the wrongs are made right
Hoops of fire - shy of liars
Traitors work their funeral pyres
In murky mires

Too many sides to every deal
Too many sights too much to seal
Too many broken yet to heal
The battle goes on

Too many radical ideas
Too much of siding with the fiercе
And so the strong break down in tears
They'll rattle that lock

To finally see thru all the smears

Too many fights - too many tears
The way we hurt thry all these years
It made us see thru all these mirrors

And so we bow and turn another page
And so I say goodbye to you - outrage
And still we cannot tell the right from wrong
You spin the depths of space but you're alone

Not so sure what I'm allowed to ask
These times are just too good
Not meant to last
And so I bow and turn another page
And so I say goodbye to you - outrage
And still we cannot tell the right from wrong
You spin the depths of space but you're alone

I'm not the one to dwell upon the past
You see the line of options fading fast
Looking back at the bittersweet reprise
Anothеr round before I close my еyes

Tangerine
Filling senses - mounting dreams
Eha-no-maz will travel
Tangerine
What was frozen becomes green
Mysteries unravel
Tangerine
What was empty is now in blossom
Coming to get you
Tangerine
Comes to life again
Make it right again
And now you're ready standing by the station
Struck by infatuation

Enter the sun - Enter the moon

Tangerine
The best of dreams
Make me humble
Like thе sun...
Tangerine
You're thе reason - the sensation
And so you burn
Tangerine - these days of wonder
You've got to give - to be delivered

Hail to the sun - hail to the moon

Rings around the sun
Like a shipwrecked sailor
His eyes upon the halo
He goes blind

Dreams of the crown
For a far away promise
He left all what was honest behind

Kings in the round
Back to beginnings where wild men
Would fight for the crown

There are ways where you go
Where you plow where you sow
Take a leap - off you go
To the sky or the ocean floor

Look to the crown
The gold that was given
For a kingdom that's ridden by fear

Riders at dawn - a time of the season
We kill for no reason but gold

Kings of the sun
Put your life on the line
The mountains come down
The bigger they come
The brighter they shine

Rings around the sun
Since you've been gone
There's changes around
The King has a beard
The King is in town

In the heart of the valley
In the heart of the valley
The world is opening like a rose
So I watch from my telescope

Filling senses - mounting dreams
What was empty becomes green

In the heart of the valley
There's an open - a silver lining
On top of that mountain
There's a bridge - and all stars keep shining

In the heart of the valley
Where the days all go slowly by
Walk the fields and thе meadows
If you're looking for remеdies...

We look down at the valley
Give just one more dream of flying
What you'll find in the valley
There's a bridge and all stars keep shining
What you'll find in the valley
You can save and magnify

[instrumental]

Living in a limbo and I don't have the answer
To what I'm doing next
Living in my kingdom and
I don't know the reason, like an uncoded text
All I need is love to get me out of here
Not sure who I've become, now all I need is love

This castle is a prison if I can't find someone
I'm not made to be alone
I'm not that person, but then if I was
Let me tell you now he's gone
All I need is love to get me out of here
To the point of no return, now all I need is love

Floating on dark water, turning indigo
Bright times coming latеr
Gives me some kind of vеrtigo

Better days are here, now don't be afraid
Just let yourself go
Involuntary loneliness, so hard to deal with
It's a big big no
All I need is love to get me out of here
I'm in a better place, now all I need is love

[instrumental]

Come hear the trumpets sound
Ancient sounds of forever
Come ring the bells around
Can't wait to get together
Dance all the hands of time
Only you can do it right
New hope and peace of mind
New ways unravel

You can see them dancing in the green
All that once was lost is soon redeemed

Come hear the thunderclouds
Ancient sounds of forever
Come roaring river rage
Bring mountains down to pebbles
Dance all the hands of time
Only you can do it right
New land and endless skies
New scenes unravel

You don't have a plan for what comes next
Dance into the light brings all the best
I just wanna see the other side
I just wanna see the other side
I just wanna feel the greater light
I just wanna know what it is like

I just wanna see the edge of light
I just wanna lose the sense of time

What's that sound?!?

Come hear the trumpets sound
Ancient sounds of forever
Come ring the bells around
I've been waiting here forever
Dance all the hands of time
Only you can do it right
New hope and peace of mind
New ways unravel

It's another life
It's a northern life

So you think you've found it?
High up on a mountain
The flutter of wings gone by
Much higher than the swallow flies

I just wanna feel the greater light
I just wanna know what it is like
I just wanna know what it is like
I just wanna see the edge of light
I just wanna lose the sense of time

[instrumental]

In your teens - all your dreams
What's gonna be?
What's gonna be?

Make it happen - make it happen
As we're standing in the rain
We are lucky
We are stuck here fighting for the sun
Fighting for a change

Make it happen - make it happen
We get closer to the sun
We are lucky
We are ready to be swept away
And ride into the dawn

You can see half a world is starving
While the other half look for water
In the eyes of crying mothers
For aisles of gold they're killing your brother

Make it happen - make it happen
We get closer to the sun
We are lucky - we are ready
While we ride into the dawn

You can see half a world is starving
While the other half lost their marbles
At the other side of dark waters
Senseless sacrifice - their sons & daughters

If you're happy - if you're happy you go
Laughing in the sun
You can fake it - you can make it
Long before you're gone
Are you happy - are you happy?
Keep on walking...

The world is opening like a rose
I'm watching from this telescope
Wish I knew just where to go
It's shining bright - but feels so cold

You feel the pull of gravity
The same old black holes - scream for remedy

The world is opening like a rose
I'm watching from this telescope
And at the other end of the rope
This 'no go' zone - with suffering that's untold

This heart is cold
This heart is cold
Seems life just flicker

The world is opening like a rose
I'm watching from this telescope
At the other end of the ropе
This 'no go' zone - with suffering that's untold
This heart is cold
This heart is cold

See this lifeless flicker
Seems like life just flicker

It's in the pixels - it's in the dust
It's in the broken - it's in the lost
It's in the evening - it's in the spell
In all the songs we all know so well

Sitting down - make it count
Show the world what you've found
All that glitter isn't gold
Radiance pouring out of souls

It's in the morning - it's in the mist
It's in the wind - blowing from the west
We are the last - under the sun
There is love for the broken ones

Sitting down - make it count
Show the world what you've found
All that glitter isn't gold
Radiance pouring out of souls

It's in the lost - it's in the evening
It's in the spell - it's in the morning
It's in the mist
It's in the wind blowing from the west
We are the last - under the sun
There is love for the broken ones

Being here
Hanging in between hope and fear
What you get isn't what you see
The answer lies between you and me
Take a stand
Spread the news across sea and land
Every option is like a riddle
Every answer securely hidden
Seize the day
What you are is what you say?

The bravery you set out to win
Bravery grows the thickest skin
Day by day - open up if you're not afraid
There'll be always the next escape
Adventure calling, so don't be late

Hope & Fear

Who am I?
Upside down between earth and sky
Grow the mountain a little higher
Lift me up - into the wild

Hope & Fear
