"We're All Alright"
01 Don’t consider going back
Look me in the eyes and tell me that you won’t consider going back
Take a look at what you have done so far, don’t you forget about that
I’ve stood by your side and helped you through this, now please make it count
Logic reasoning has always fooled you, you’re not a nobody
Who you think you are will never add up, you are so much more
You have not been easy on yourself
Life has not been easy on you
You have seen the lion’s den, with your own eyes
02 Icarus
Father make us something that will get us out
You got us in now get us out anywhere
And so he made himself and his son
A pair of wings out of things he found
Now keep in mind don’t you fly too high and not too low
I got us in now i’ll gett us out anywhere
So they took off up in too the air
And finally out of there
Now what’s to find beyond the sky
Higher :/:
Icarus :/:
03 Wind sets in
What a day to spend outdoors, the sun is here and the wind’s are at war
Though solitude sets me apart, washing over me and my heart
Whisper’s in my mind sweet dear, recall the day we spent out here
The sun was there and you and me, i wonder will this ever be
Come away with me, i’ll walk you back
We’ll speak things through, if you like
I’ll come another time, if this ain’t right
04 Will I
Last few months too much restrained inside
World’s at my feet speak to me
I left town not knowing what i left behind
I’ll keep in mind i’ll take one step at a time
Mountains to climb hills to find
Good grief what have i done where can i put my head down
Time always seems to go by way too fast or too slow
My heart beats fast my mind is gone
Should i could i will i return your calls
Should i could i will i return your calls
Should i could i will i return back home
Should i could i will i show up at your door
My heart beats fast my mind is gone
Should i could i will i return back home
05 Wintering
October has come, it has been a whole year
The leaves yet again are returning to where they came from
I'm not sure if i dare to recall it
But i guess it's time to make up for what is gone
Them blackbirds and starlings are all moving south
Taking off for the wintering season of harvest
But for once in my life it does not come to mind
To fly away fly along leaving this northern ground
to see the end of this starving it's been a long time
and i'll stay right here just breathing
I've been climbing these mountains and the steep hills
for the first time i see it's beauty
the bright morning light and the cold autumn wind
is renewing and calming and cold at the same time
there'll be signs in the sky that the spring will arrive
when them blackbirds and starlings are returning from wintering
to see the end of this starving it's been a long time
and i'll stay right here just breathing
I've been climbing these mountains and the steep hills
for the first time i see it's beauty
06 Can i walk on?
They got me framed and literally gave me a new middle name
Not one that i would say out loud
There’s no way back from this i figured out by now
What they say is not true nor lies
I’m all pinned down and won’t get out of this trench for a while
Not as long as they keep pinning me down
I wish i could shout out ”you’re all wrong”
But what they say is not true nor lies
Can i walk on? Can i walk on? Oh no. What have i done?
07 Disasters
Pardon me the mess i am creating
it’s not like i am doing this on purpose
All closed up bottled up inside
the mess will not dissapear all by itself
Pardon me i know not what i do
most of the times i hurt you
We are all beautiful disasters
all tangled up in each others harmless flaws
What is wrong and what is right
With everybody, now let's get it right
No let's not get it right let's get it all wrong
We’re all alright we’re all so strong
We don’t need nobody we can make it on our own
We’re all alright we’re all so strong
08 Laying here helps
I don’t know where you get your ideas from
What i mean to tell you is that they’re often alright
You see i find myself in a bad place
And i’m turning to you for advice
Laying here helps
In your arms on the couch
I don’t understand how you can put yourself in
In my shoes and see everything from my point of view
As you might have noticed i’m in a bad place and i’m turning to you for advice
Laying here i can’t help but notice
What troubles my mind is not far away
But as long as you’re right beside me
I won’t complain
09 Saul
What did i miss where did things change
I did not ask for this he said to himself
He had done all that was required by him he believed
All of his men had come this far
He would not let them down at this point
Now what would that make of their leader their king
He’s on his own from that day on, God removed him from his throne
He refused to step down after all, God had chosen him amongst everyone
All of my men they know who i am
They know of my bravery and where i stand
The fight will go on i will not cease to protect what was given to me
How could i be so very wrong
About who you were all along
I thought you were just i thought you were right, well you’re not
He refused to step down after all, it was him that was chosen by God
He never seemed to get thigs right, getting fooled by his own pride
10 Home to you
I’m on my way back home to you
I miss your scent i miss your smile
I cannot get home soon enough
Oh darling i miss you so much
Although it has not been too long
Since i was there and things went wrong
Theese last few days i’ve felt alone
It’s by you’re side that i belong
Please tell me what do you need me to learn
Oh darling i am taking a you turn
I cannot wait to get back home to you
Oh darling i am so in love with you
