Doorway

People – searching for reasons and fall into the learning curve
We are searching for seasons, a better place in this world
Running naked along the shores (tracking down the source)
You know love is a flower; you gotta let it grow…
Lonely lovers run through corridors
Waiting for the tide to turn
And towards the sun they steer the course
Forgetting about what they have learned
Finally found what calms my inner sea
Before the dust settles down, I’ve paid my fee
See me flying a flake (left out from the snow)
Whenever you’re down in goodbyes, I say hello!
Lonely lovers…
Chasing bands on the run, from a noose of hate, a flower sprung
Time’s a friend in this endless end, the guru hums, his note I’ll send
Listen to your inner voice, it always leads you home, always guides you right
Black and white as day needs night the winter’s cold needs summers light
Open up the door, Open up the doorway

Dance Across the Ocean
07:26

All the royal robbers stood in line
As the Swedish king his crown declined
Everybody wants to rock the boat
But when it rains, oh you give away your coat
If you dance across the ocean
You will see a mad, mad world
Oh boy it is a mad, mad world
Did you read the news today poor boy?
They’ve come to take away your favourite toy
Summer landed late one day in June
But winter paved its’ way that afternoon
If you dance across the ocean
You will see a mad, mad world
Oh boy it is a mad, mad world
Wake your kids its way, way past bedtime
The thief left what he stole far, far behind
His toy gun was lost never to be found
If you come across the ocean someday you might find
That we’re busy selling Sweden to Norwegians…
A Sun of Your Own
The world is a lonely playground, when the carnival is leaving town
Sometimes golden and sometimes it is grey
Life is just a picture; you paint it day by day
Stars will guide your way, you will find light someday
And why do you feel alone, you got a sun of your own
Go find the open doors, the universe is yours
Who knows which door to go through?
Who knows which door to shut?
What a crappy earthday, this aint no happy birthday
Am I a still born son of sadness, climbing the mountain of human clay?
Love will paint your day, in all colours you might say
And while you hurry home, you got a sun of your own
The movement will remain, or we’ll start it all again
Stars will guide your way, you will find light someday
And why’d you feel alone, you got a sun of your own
Go find the open doors, the universe is yours
Listen to the music, the guide to your escape
You figure out the pattern, to design the perfect day
The source of inspiration, the great gift from above
All that once was nothing, has a meaning and it’s love, it’s love…
Stars…
Light of summer tell me, who will brighten up your day?
Whispering from heaven, love to unlock doors of grey is just a colour,
Life will conquer anyway, let the river lead you, let the ocean paint
the day when love was born, the Sun of your Own

We Spin the World

PART I
Sitting on a cloud, making jokes to the crowd
Telling tales of the sun, and how it all begun
Spin the wheel of time with my help you’ll be fine
Life is worth a while, if everyone would smile
Smile and sing along, we won’t blame no one
Unleash colours within, the world is set aspin
You say that you’re one of a kind, but I don’t believe in you that much
I say that we all are one no matter what colours we are
Because the colour of you is me where would we be without a helping hand?
And someone that understands?
The soapbox opera of daily grey will play from the cradle to the grave
Throw your soul away like a coin in the wishing well
But there is no need to gamble you can’t win this game is rigged
And once the game is played where would you go when you’ve already won
The road to the goal is what matters and now we’re taking off
Smile and sing a song, we hope you’ll come along
Unleash colours within, the world is set aspin
Remember how we used to play when we we’re kids and the world was new
Well, I am still the silly one, the same although my face has changed
I have a beard and my hair is longer, but I still don’t have a job
So I’ll keep on staring at the skies asking my, when/what/whys
All join as one, turn the moon into a sun…
PART II
Come in from the cold, relax you’re home
Safe and sound, so dry your eyes
Someone borrowed something blue, heaven’s losing 0 for 2 Winter’s old when spring is new,
grace let sunshine warm our frozen hearts and in time you will
Three times a charm, when love is a part of everything you will
PART III
See us sail on a single raindrop
through a web of dreams
We can play any tune we’d like
Cause they’re all alive
Paper people on fragile feet, all give in to the human beat
Share our vision everlasting; we are one in the light fantastic
Through the rain and into the unknown, we cast our stone
And the weight of the world at our backs, were left behind on the track
Sunshine people you carry the wind, that will turn the whole world around
Winter mornings melt into spring, the call of summer and choirs will sing…
La La La…
You said you were one of a kind, but I did not think you looked like much
You told me of rivers and mountains, a simple world left untouched
But time has a funny way of telling you the truth at the very end
And now I see that you are me, a child with a grownups eyes
You told me that life was a doorway that we should all walk on through
You showed me the way and you said that I could walk it too
Yes, time has a funny way of telling you the truth at the very end
And now I see that you are me, a child with a grownups eyes
We spin the world, around, turned the moon into a sun
We spin the world around, with love and faith, we can, we can…
We spin the world, around, turned the moon into a sun
We spin the world around, with love and faith, we can, we can create…

Beyond the Door

There is a river through the ocean,
Through forever, coming home
Chasing dreams on the run,
in the blink of an eye, the dream will be gone
Winter windows, search for summer
Brand new morning, open doors
Lonely lovers run towards the sun
Time will tell, in time it all will be done
The love you were searching for far and wide,
Was always waiting there by your side…
