Where do we go
To find that inner peace?
Where the body isn’t a prison
The soul is set to release?
…
Where do we go
To find happiness?
In a land of preachers
Where disciples are blessed?
…
Where do we go
To find true love?
Should we wait until
We learn to fly above?
…
Where do we go
To find all that we need?
Can the fruits of all the trees
Be gained by a single seed?
…
Where do we go?
Where do we go from here?
If you know the answer
Would you whisper in my ear?
So easy to regret
So hard to forget
My love for you is true and yet
You just act like we’ve never met
I climb down these stairs
A thought in my head
Along with all the spares
Deserts my lonely bed
Never thought I’d understand
What it’s like to be alone
Missing the touch of your hand
As we laid on our own
On the green grass
As time would pass
And we would sing
Da da da da da da da da da da dee da ding
Da dee da ding
…
Day turns to night
And the moon comes out
Jealous of your light
Not a shadow of a doubt
But it doesn’t feel alright
A message the winds have blown
Makes every face so bright
But I lay on my own
On this green grass
And time wouldn’t pass
And for you, I’d sing
Da da da da da da da da da da dee da ding
Da dee da ding
…
Morning sun’s about to come
I don’t give a care
Makes me wonder what has become
Of the love we used to share
The stars blink at me
And down a light is thrown
And your face I can see
I know I’m not alone
In this green field
A moment is sealed
As we together sing
Da da da da da da da da da da dee da ding
Da dee da ding
Tied my shoes and off I set
To places Jesus never went
In my quest to find joy and peace
And dying merriment
…
And against the setting sun I saw
Shadow of a girl up yonder
And with every minute that passed
My aching heart grew fonder
…
At your feet I’ll lay my soul
And all my life I’ll bear your whims
If you can reproduce that one moment
And give me another glimpse
I asked for sleep
She took my breath
I asked for peace
She gave me death
Do not worry about your final show
Your goodbyes were made
A long time ago
…
Do not worry about your friends and family
It will be taken care of
By destiny
…
If you had known your time had come
Would you have done
What is to become?
…
If you had known peace is on its way
Would you have betrayed it
For another day?
…
Into my paradise, you will find
You have paid
Your price in kind
…
Into my heaven, you put your feet
Five more breaths
Then we meet
If I ever tell you what is killing me, I’m sure you’d think it’s a lie
My heart’s made of stone
And it loves to be alone
But yours is the only face I’d like to see when I die
You could be apprehensive about the future and regretful about the past
If time was a song
I’d sing all day long
And clutch every moment between my fingers and make these memories last
And only the truth will lie between you and me
As I bare my soul to you
And the spoken words will form a melody
And rhyme with all that is true
…
Though some doors have closed for now, there is still some hope for us
Your smile will give
A hope and then live
Beyond the bonds of time and space of this curse
There is nothing more to me now than I ever was
If my promises were a trick
You could break it with a stick
But it is much more than dying for a lost cause
And only true love will lie between you and me
As I bare my heart to you
And the ecstacy and pain will form a melody
And rhyme with all that we knew
…
Will you forgive me my fears and accept me as I stand here tonight?
Let the rain pour
Let it thunder and more
I expose myself to uncertainties until you teach me what is right
Will you do me a favour and walk with me and hold my hand throughout?
The sky will turn blue
From its paler hue
And the grass would be more green than it has ever been without a shadow of a doubt
And only the heavens will lie between you and me
As I bare myself to you
And the angels will sing in a melody
And rhyme with all that is you
If my eyes aren’t deceiving
It seems the clouds are moving
I wish they would stay
I could talk with them all day
But they are drifting away
And nobody else is arriving
…
‘Tis not a day to be spent alone
Air is filled with pages thrown
Flying away, flying thin
The cold winds burn my skin
But they know where to begin
They have already passed my bones
…
It’s not like I’m not trying to
But there is something about you
Which makes my heart leap
And know just how to keep
My heart from falling asleep
And I dream about you until two
…
Across town, I wander
Hoping lightning would strike and thunder
Would bring down rain
And I’d hide my pain
As I try in vain
To do anything but surrender
…
If my eyes aren’t deceiving
It seems the clouds are moving
I wish they would stay
I could talk with them all day
But they are drifting away
And nobody else is arriving
Where trees are fell
Where flowers don’t smell
I’ll wait for you
In this living hell
I’ll wait for you
…
Where winds don’t blow
Where rivers don’t flow
I’ll wait for you
And let you know
I’ll wait for you
…
Where stars don’t shine
And you are not mine
I’ll wait for you
Till the end of time
I’ll wait for you
…
Where bells don’t ring
And birds don’t sing
I’ll wait for you
And change everything
I’ll wait for you
And change everything
Treacherously time moves
No haste in her stride
Rules of society and nature
I must abide
…
To make a move in this direction
To walk with my own feet
Would I be able to shake
The dancing of their beat?
…
And when finally time arrives
Everyone be on their way
To think what has really passed
Was just another day
