Follow your voice
Love help me sing my song out loud
Let it be heard and touch heart’s ground
Can´t sing, my voice is breaking – but I´ll do it anyway
Can´t play, my hands are shaking – but I´ll give it all I can.
I can´t write a song like an ode of Shakespeare,
I can only sing, from my broken and beating heart
Learning how to love and free,
to be the temple and the flame.
Teach me to accomplish this,
please guide my hands and heart.
I’m singing for my life, listening to that voice inside
that says trust your love, shine forth and share your light
Following your voice – is all you have to do:
listen to the love – singing through you, singing through you
Music, melt away reclusion
let our hearts shine in all their beauty
Surrendering to love again,
our hearts grow wings, and dance on air.
Love is unassuming as a song
but irresistably, it calls the soul
to open up and face all fears,
showing our scars, and our burning light.
The gift of love is like a melody,
building bridges over troubled seas
A guiding star that shows our heart
the way back home, back home, back home
***
May love guide
Through the fear and pitch-dark
I´ll just follow the shape of your heart
I won‘t turn a-round or ask where it leads
I´ll just follow the truth of my soul
Neither of us knows where we go
or what has brought us here
It´s scaring me to death
but I´ve only been alive
since you are here
You‘re singing to my heart
it‘s the one thing I hear clear
May love guide our way
May love guide our way
I want to hold your hand
but I don´t know where you stand
we´re in underworld
Shadows of doubt confuse our eyes
we must go by feel
Believe each others‘ voice
Fears pull at my heart
yet they can‘t blow
the light of trust I hold
That love guides our way
That love guides all our ways
I believe and trust in this love that has brought us here.
That it guides our way, guides everyone, you and me.

Play on
I was feeling like an unstrung guitar
unplayed, and out of tune.
Then you came, and struck a chord,
and something in me was chiming.
My heart had been oh so unstirred,
longing to be touched and heard.
Then you came and knew my song,
when you smiled, we wrote it on…
Your heartbeat`s the baseline in my life-song,
Your voice is my life-line that pulls me back home.
Oh, you make me tremble, and you set me free
– come, hear the music that you make me feel
I was like an unsong song –
alive, but somehow restrained.
Now you´re here and my heart sings
you rekindle the music within ….
You made me sing – first softly, then proud.
Everything dances, everything’s sound.
I´m back in rhythm, you put me in sync,
drumming a heartbeat and humming a smile.
You put the sound in my song
– oh baby, make me play on,
Make me play on, make me play on

Higher love
The sweetest of feelings
had left me cut up and bleeding,
shattered and crippled,
I couldn´t go on.
I warred with my sadness,
sought reasons and ways back.
I prayed grief would kill me,
and there – it all changed.
Pain helped me learn to let go,
sorrow became a guide home.
broken, I found myself open
to a higher love
I pondered my neediness,
despaired at my weakness.
Sought insight in memories
but I couldn´t move on.
I sank into darkness,
poisoned with bitterness,
but right at the bottom,
I died – and was free
Not knowing the reasons,
nor weighing the blames, but
embracing, releasing,
I`m letting go.
Thus I fall into fullness
not expected but by grace.
tasting the sweetness
of this love set free –
of pure love, flowing freely through me….
Pain helped me learn to let go,
sorrow became a guide home.
broken,I found myself open
to a higher love
I saw darkness bear lightness,
was shattered, yet reborn,
when the love that I set free
came back freeing me.

This love
God knows that I`ve loved before
And God knows that this is much more.
For when I see you, I see your heart.
my love, I felt you, right from the start,
and I have gone so deep so fast…
This love is not like others
for I see clear who you really are.
instead of falling, I find I´m flying,
cradled save in your arms…
Nothing was worked for or hoped,
this love was before we knew.
And when I saw you, I recognized your heart,
nothing to add, but it´s changed everything.
Whatever follows, this will never fade…
I´ve loved before, as wide as the sky.
But love surprised me, tore measures away,
and is precisely what you show me
by loving me
This love shakes me to my core,
not dreaming, but awake to see more…
a part of me’s still afraid to die,
but where we´re touching, my love, I fly
Kiss upon kiss, we´re healing old wounds,
Smile lights up smile, filling our souls…
I hadn’t dreamt how two hearts can talk.
My darling, I´m so blessed you came in my life…

Wish you were here
Wish you were here right now
wish I could be with you
cause what-ever life brings
I just wanna share with you
Everyday the world is turning
it slowly blows my mind
people’re born and die again
some endlessly alone.
And we met and found true love
in each other’s soul
What good is it that you´re not here
when we´re each other’s home?
Wish you were here right now
wish I could be with you
cause what-ever life is
I wanna find out with you
Everytime I hear the news
my heart just starts to sink
news of terror or no meaning
and we smart fools in between.
wasting time, doing this and that
as if alone we could change the world.
Yet I am here and you are there
and each of us alone.
Wish you were here right now
wish I could be with you
cause what-ever life brings
it always feels better near you
I long for you and I can’t sleep at all,
I wanna be held and hold you to my heart
– oh my love, may life bring you back here soon.
Some people live their lifes alone
and only cling to things
some people will renounce all love
always chasing some ideal.
some people they just wait too long
to find that life is short.
Let’s live out what our hearts call for,
Let´s be for what we long: Lovers – at home.
Wish you were here right now
wish I could be with you
cause what-ever life brings
I just wanna share with you
Wish you were here today,
Wish you were here right now,
wish you were here tonight,
wish I could be with you
…

Fly
Come, fly with me
to the stars, cross the sea
to the moon and beyond
take my hand and come with me
We´ll rise high with the stars
share the splendour of their glow
Look in my eyes and we´ll know
our real names yet untold
Let us fly to the sun,
and from there still further on
to the heart of the universe
and still deeper, and beyond…
We will leave all stars behind
except the ones in our eyes,
Anything that can be named
will fall away …
Beyond time, space and names,
we´ll be one with all there is.
Hold me close and feel my warmth
so save and free…
Come, fly with me
***
Forever
I never wanna be
without you, Darling
cause life before we met
was just like barren echoes
I´ve been waiting for you always
like the earth for its first spring
and millenia of winter
you thawed away
One day we´ll both be gone
from the face of this world
but our love has made a change
that will be here always
death is only terror
when there was no life before
and the bleakness of a dark night
is forever transformed
I wanna grow with you,
until our branches form a roof
and shelter all that rests beneath.
I´ve always grown towards you,
see, our roots are tangled
and my space is yours and yours is mine
And I wanna see and get to know all of you
all your beauty, near and far
share joy and sadness, high and low
I wanna grow with you,
until our branches form a roof
and shelter all that rests beneath.
I´ve always grown towards you,
see, our roots are tangled
and my space is yours and yours is mine
I wanna feel you so near, come rain or shine
our hearts in communion – close yet free
to dance and embrace – in all life brings
This miracle is love,
it needs no other naming
maybe no name at all
to make it fit or frame it
It just is what it is, and it’s boundless beauty.
I wanna share with you this joy
– for always and forever
