The Butterfly

The butterfly is full of wonder 

To see the world from near and far 

He has a heart as rolling thunder 

Blazed like the evening's brightest star 

He likes to roam in kingdoms swaying 

Like cracked singers' fearless praying 

As air’s unchallenged superstar

Condemned to trust

I’m condemned to trust 

As I roam through the unknown 

Not to lose my faith 

And to love even if it’s hard to be shown 

I have the feeling that people 

So easily hide in the shelter of habit 

In the shelter of night 

They refuse to evolve, might they say 

There’s a thin line of madness 

That we rather evade 

There’s a time, there comes a day 

Where we stand at the crossroads 

To swim against the tide 

Some kind of venture, a will to trade 

I’m condemned to trust 

And may the seasons change 

There’s no need to adjust 

Give this world a reason

Make this a moment precious

Because you're living in this one world spacious

Take all there is, never hide

Give your heart until you reach the other side

There's no need to feel ashamed

Nothing fully dies, it’s never too late

For I’ll be your ever church

Albeit you’re left in the lurch

Give this world a reason

Have patience with life’s season

Share what you have done

For there's so much to come

I will still believe in you

When the world crumbles into dust

When the nothingness leaves you blue

Stays this one spark you can always trust

In this stream of time

Even what seems nugatory

Will be in chime, in perfect rhyme

Will lead your way to inner glory

Be our true witness

A construct of slickness

For there are hurricanes raging

The world's tearing each other apart without ceasing

Until the shadows are sinking

We are brothers in thinking

For thoughts are like breathing

And ever increasing

Give this world a reason

Have patience with life’s season

Share what you have done

For there's still a lot to come

Give all your love

Like a golden dove

Until we feel the calmness

Permeate into our souls

How come the age ends every story?

Feel the innocence of the moment

Feel the laughter

You’re the one

That I look after

Feel the pressure

Trembling

In the halls

Unending

The morning dawning

One last day

A useless warning

There’s no use

In endless walking

There’s so much hope

That has been stolen

How come the sage

Have stopped their talking

Is this a stage

Some means of glory

How come the age

Ends every story

How come the age

Ends every story

Feel the innocence of the moment

Feel the laughter

You’re the one

That I look after

Feel the distance

Fading

There’s so much heat

Devastating

There’s so much need

In eyes of strangers

Who cannot see

Who’s been courageous

Who cannot be

In iron cages

We must not fear

All that awaits us

How come the sage

Have stopped their talking

Is this a stage

Some means of glory

How come the age

Ends every story

How come the age

Ends every story

The fires that I feared

The fires that I feared 

How they seem to warm me now 

I whisper softly into the night 

How I wished you’d hear me now 

Take the bow of my confession 

Take the words I long to share 

Light my morning with your presence 

Light my soul with your care 

Be the thought that never tires 

When your voice speaks oh so clear 

From these lips that are a promise 

To a day I wished was near

Where nightly mornings quake

The beauty of the wilderness

The ghost I never called

And now it’s coming down to this

The promise has been sold

We walk here in this nothingness

Of fortune yet untold

Of caring in this gracefulness

The daring and the bolt

The pain that never left my side

The mourning of the night

The wounds of each and every fight

How could time set this right

The tender and courageous fate

The abyss of the fairy lake

Was calling from some desert state

Where no one merely prayed

The dispersal of a heavy weight

How come those sweetest blossoms wake

Just that outrageous late

Where nightly mornings quake

Journey into the Unknown

Fear is not always a friend quite known

Acceptance and change are hard to be found

Where really is love where realness is shown

Where there is music where there is sound

You can start up a journey into the unknown
 

Heaven & Hell

So many years that I tried

To pull the devil out of side

So many years that I wasted

And I tried to make it right

And though the fear just breaks us

In the dawn of the night

We can’t change ever after

What we leave behind

In the heat of the danger

In the cold of the light

We can’t change ever after

In the dread of the fight

The Great Illusion

Nevermind the rain

Too much is captured

In an endless frame

Too much confusion

The great illusion

The night that never came

The World Outside

Got a ticket to the world outside
But I'm so scared that I'm going blind
In this mess, the city lights
And I can't find my place in this crazy life
In a strange land, a strange time
I left it all behind
All the nights out, summer on my mind
Getting lost in the streets of the cities
Where will I arrive

There's a matter of distance
There's a matter of pain
There are things you can't run for
And things you can't tame
There's a hole in the ocean
There are windows closed
There's a dawning of day
A new world just seconds away
And I don't know how I'd felt like
If you asked me to stay

I'm so tired of the journeys
At the end of the day
Of the miles that I travelled
With this dream on my mind
Of the little moments
The girls I left behind
 When will I arrive

Dancing Child

Some winds

They drown in a river

Imagine kindness

In a timid shiver

All the dumb blindness

Questions of faith

Things we leave behind

When we come of age

Some songs

They hush in the silence

A verdict of faint

Where another line ends

An eternal taint

Impervious walls

A silent cry

Echoes through these halls
