Absolute Believer

Did you see the fragility of our world, dear?
I can almost forget it since I'm in your life
You didn't seem to need anyone when I met you
It didn't seem you wanted to be somebody's wife
But all the rivers could dry up
And the sun might not rise anymore
I would still be a beautiful believer
Have you ever noticed the surety in our kisses?
It could be dangerous to only lean on it
The clarity of truth will never replaced
What remains unsaid can worry your spirit
May the lake of promises always burst and
May we always keep a deep thirst
For each other like beautiful believers
Believers, believers, believers, believers
What if the indifference takes hold on us? (Believers)
What if the optimists have lied? (Believers)
What if our binding souls are getting lost? (Believers)
What if the glimmer of your eyes were to die? (Believers)

For Salvation

I’m gonna get by and be up and about soon
Like Johnny Cash did it for June
I’m gonna fly high to give you the moon
And even write you a thousand tunes
Then I will try for the rest of my life
To keep the keys to Paradise
Yes, I will try for the rest of my life
To fill with LOVE my precious time
Every day I chose between night and day
Every day I tried to do it my own way
But I took a wrong road paving with wanderings
Where my dearest dreams are resting patiently
I’m gonna get by and be up and about soon
Like Johnny Cash did it for June
I’m gonna fly high to give you the moon
And even write you a thousand tunes
Then I will try for the rest of my life
To keep my light safe from the wind
Yes, I will try for the rest of my life
Sowing and letting die the seed
Whatever my direction, my horse followed desire
And whatever the danger, I often played with fire
But there was you, my beautiful loved-one
With golden curls and sea eyes
You sent my weaknesses far away
Far away as we come up to the day
Far away as we come up to the day

The Hopeful Bells

Brother
In face of girds
How cracked you were
You couldn’t find peace
In such a selfish world
Brother
Let’s beat the drum
Rejoin the choir
Ring the hopeful bells
A new chant has begun
Sister
In face of contempt
How disarmed you were
You couldn’t find rest
In a field of torment
Sister
Let’s beat the drum
Rejoin the choir
Ring the hopeful bells
A new chant has begun
You came to me in the middle of the night
You needed me ‘cause you felt uptight
We blended our voices in a brilliant communion
We ceased to sing and the music went on

Sister Sue is the right one
She’s strong enough to carry the world on her shoulders
You met her smile and then she took away
Your sorrow, your pain and your doubts
And she shows you the narrow gate that makes you happy
And unhappy sometimes but that’s o.k.
On the way, surrounded by your own darkness
You foresee a faint light,
Burning, burning wisely like an endless faith
In spite of all the lost expectations
And Sister Sue, here’s all I do
I sing my song but don’t get me wrong
Yes Sister Sue, here’s what I do
I sing my song but there’s something wrong
Every little thing she does
And every kind of smile she gives
Everything she does is blessing
When all the people are passing by
She takes time to say more than “Hi”
You think you’ll never find a way to thank her
And if I stumble, she steps in
She bears my cross and unties my wings
Everything she does is blessing

A Silent Journey

Once I met a wise man in the corridors of loneliness
Where your humble living makes you hurt like hell
These days have frightened me so much
That I was unable to touch
The inner meaning of my time on earth
He said:
“Son, you couldn’t do it by yourself.
You’re gonna need those friends to fight the plan.
Happiness is not easeful!
Hear the thought of your new school!
And if you only had to remember a single word :
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, Only LOVE can fight the devil’s plan
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, Only LOVE will make you a better man”
Then I continued to walk to the terminus of hopeless folks
They were tearing pages from the Book of LOVE
The only person that I saw,
On the fringe of this distressing row
Was a daring girl picking up the holy leaves
She said:
“You have to know that your troubles last,
Until you’ve built a graveyard for your past.
Future is not written yet.
You have a whole life to invent.
And don’t think you could rescue me,
I’m just your vision of reality.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, Only LOVE can fight the devil’s plan
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, Only LOVE will make you a better man”
Finally I felt neglected, I raised my head,
I saw a kid rising from the farthest part of me
He said:
“I can’t be born again, just because I wasn’t dead
Like all the things that used to live in you.
I’m the Hope when everybody’s left.
I’m the Confidence when no one trusts in you.
Don’t give up on your deepest dreams.
Let them shine like some sunbeams.
And with every line of every poem,
you may be invincible.”

Life Is A Race
03:43

The rhythm of your life is just getting on your nerves
Sit by me a second, have the rest you deserve
You should drive safely as long as time is your enemy
You say you haven’t long to live and there’s no time to lose
You think you can roll with the punches without being bruised
You should run carefully and only fight, fight to be free
Your fingers burn and you can’t return
But it’s not too late to change the fate
If you live life as as a race
If you can stand the pace
You risk knowing the finish line before you even try
Don’t listen to my ramblings; I’m not better than you are
I worry so much that I think I am your guiding star
We should walk slowly because time is not our enemy
Our fingers burn and we can’t return
But it’s not too late to change the fate
If we live life as a race
If we can stand the pace
We risk knowing the finish line before we even try
We’re gonna know the end before the beginning

Angel Of Ice

38 days before Christmas
She hopes that she could see the snow
Her old memory remains
While the weatherman doesn’t know
If she had known it before
She would be gone to the North Pole
And as sure as she’s far from home
She would be under the snowfalls
Angel of ice
Sweet icy drop
She’s an angel of ice
Maybe it’s because she’s from Sweden
And that she feels uprooted
So she asks for a small present
To help her on that birthday
Leaving your home is never easy
You can’t say goodbye to where you belong
Rebuild a life, a new family
You’ll never be alone, no more
Angel of ice
Sweet icy drop
She’s an angel of ice
And one day, if you’re lost just think of me
And love we shared at the height of summer
Oh love we shared at the height of summer
I never meant to hurt your heart
My sweet, sweet angel of ice

Tom is always sick about everything,
Maybe it’s in his heart or maybe it’s in his head.
He often prays for people like him,
In the hospitals where it feels so grim,
He tries to put the light of hope within.
His parents, they don’t understand
Why he gives his time for the frail-ones,
Instead of taking care of him.
Tom knows he does belong here,
But at home things are really heavy
That he planned to leave not to become nasty.
Sweet Beth and her mother
Had an argument again about summer
That she wants to spend with her bunch of friends.
Lately Beth lost too much weight.
The bones of her spine are like teeth from a saw,
Ready to cut her skin off to get it over with.
She can’t stand her face and her reflection.
In the mirror she found this is not enough
To feel well among friends when your family life is rough.
When the corners of your mind are just blocked,
And the only window of your heart overlooks nothing,
Nothing but a lonesome track.
You want to get out of this tragic plight
Where you are confined, you weep to get blind
You wish you could bury that voice
Pretending you have no choice
But right after that way, there’ll be a newborn day
Sometimes I thought my shadow
Was a long, long way behind me
But it kept haunting me
Because I refuse to see what I needed to be
Me, I want to go where my curing lives
And where the angels hum about
The defeats that were turning into gold.

I think that I can close my eyes now
Because you’ve never wished me ill
Despite your reassuring hand
My lack of trust I can’t conceal
I know that I should loosen my tongue now
Because you can hear everything
From the byways of betrayal
To the red shame of disowning
I’m slowly letting down
The shortcuts I’ve been told
I’ll follow you around
Until the end of the road
I feel that we must be on the look-out
To seize the sly signs of desolation
Your words of peace have sprouted inside me
Leading me to my own perfection
Now that I lost myself in your arms
My soul is yours without any reserve
And every cloud has a silver lining
Like obstacles from which we’ll never swerve
I’m slowly letting down
The shortcuts I’ve been told
I’ll follow you around
Until the end of the road
They say the longest way is the hardest
But mine takes shape as I go along
