Stars in broad daylight

If live is good, can it be bad? It seems a simple thing
But that´s a matter of opinion
It depends on who you ask, if they are made up for the task
For whatever you are told, all that glitter is not gold
So we hold on till we fade away and die and watch the stars in broad daylight
If God is good, it must be blind, another point of view
But for the most part we don´t have a clue
God is love the bishop claims, all good things in many ways
But if god is love, just like he tells,
There should not be no hell
So we hold on till we fade away and die and watch the stars in broad daylight
Sometimes, time takes forever, climbing up the human ladder
Will you tell me please, which way I have to go from here
Should I start at the beginning?
And if I go and reach the end, will my dreams come heaven send
It does not matter where I go cause in the end nobody knows
And we hold on till we fade away and die and watch the stars in broad daylight
Sometimes, time takes forever, climbing up the human ladder

When my demons all stirred and I nearly got burned, I withstood the serpents call
And killed off my giants whilst still being small
It seemed sensible back then, to choose the battles I could win
So I figured I better get rid of them now before they got too loud
And for those of us, still in doubt and never certain, come and watch the stars in broad daylight
There's a ghost in the trees, hear its voice in the breeze, but the words are wrong
Cause it ain't the voice of reason
It can't tell you where to go, just because it does not know
Just remember whatever's worth doing is really worth doing well
And for those of us, still in doubt and never certain, come and watch the stars in broad daylight
Sometimes, time takes forever, climbing up the human ladder
There were times when I stepped up, kept pumping the gas, thinking live is short
But that's a matter of opinion
If live is but a troubled sea, I still feel the need in me
That there's nothing in vain, I just need to unchain, and be on my way
And for those of us, still in doubt and never certain, come and watch the stars in broad daylight
Cause sometimes, time takes forever, climbing up the human ladder

In the heat of the moment some have gambled and lost
In a moment of madness they have challenged the odds
Speeding through live and living the lie
They take off so fast and believe they can fly
and still time rushes by
Fully convinced by their wisdom and views
They find confirmation each night on the news
The tempo they had, slowly gets in their way
The end will come nearer by each passing day
and still time fades away
Looking down from Olympus all below me looks small
I choose not to go there, affraid I might fall
Stand in the light while I glance at the stars
Seen in broad daylight they will open my heart
Like shooting stars, just like shooting stars
Stars in broad daylight

Carousel

The crowds salute those who predict a kingdom come,
but in the end they always end the same
They live the fairytale that words will light the way for godlike kings who make us live again
Our dreams are sold, they say they pave our streets with gold
Armed to the teeth, they say they practice what they preach
As long you go their way
They speak brave words about the need to built one´s faith and how to live until its judgements day
They feed our brains with shady signs that can´t be seen but will come true after you pass away
All that they do, is tell you how to live in fear
All blind and deaf, you can´t feel truth if you don´t hear
So you will go their way
There are no monsters, or at least not in the skies, just empty space and empty lies
A broken promise surely failed cause no one tried, a fall from grace when all hope has died
These mighty men who play our minds with common sense, they seldom die while waiting next in line
They raise their hands, they claim the finest in defence, they howl and scream,
proclaiming innocence,
They call it fate, when hell comes first and heaven late,
The abdicate, and claim profoundly things have changed
And go on their way
There are no monsters, or at least not in the skies, just empty space and empty lies
A broken promise surely failed cause no one tried, a fall from grace when all hope has died
And when the curtain falls, you see an empty stage
You find you´re all alone cause you are out of place
Tonight you dance upon the remnants of the beast
You toss and turn until you see the dawn rise from the east
Oh carousel, only time will tell
About the stars that fell and made a wishing well
Oh carousel, only time will tell
About the stars that fell and made a wishing well
Oh carousel
- - - -
And when the curtain falls, you see an empty stage
You find that you are all alone cause you are out of place
Tonight you dance excited on the remnants of the beast
You toss and turn untill you see the dawn rise up the east
Oh carousel, only time will tell
About the stars that fell and made a wishing well
Oh carousel, only time will tell
About the stars that fell and made a wishing well
Oh carousel
- - - -
Oh carousel, turning round and round and round and round
Carousel, lost in speed but still it’s slowing down
Right in to the center of the storm
Where whirlwinds reign and brand new life's begun
Oh carousel

Song for Koen

An empty spot on the floor, like a constant reminder that you are no more
We must try to mend, to figure out feelings when loosing a friend
But we are not far apart, I know because you are still close to our hearts
Climbing up, while the rope is burning
Time to stop the cards from turning
It's an epical ride when there's no place to hide
While the memories still linger on
You came into our world, a ball full of energy covered in fur
Courageous and loyal, a friend from the start you won both of our hearts
Climbing up, while the rope is burning
Time to stop the cards from turning
It's an epical ride when there's no place to hide
While the memories still linger on
- - -
Stumbling and falling, running before you could walk
You learned to fit in without language or words, without talk
A brave little thing that believed it just could not get hurt
But you always brought joy and happiness in to our world
Yes, your body is gone but for both of us you still feel near
You are running and playing beside us as if you are here
New life was exciting, a thrilling adventure, brand new
And if I ever find it I will certainly save it for you
It seems common now a days to claim the order of all things
That humans are the first in line, the once and future kings
You are not alone when you find little Jack at your side
A special relation that stands out all day and all night
No time on earth proofs quite sufficient to spent it with you
But time plays its own part that leaves us not much we can do
But night will come, it surely does, no doubt about the future
And when it does all things must end, it lurks around the corner
And now it's coming for you
--------
Stay, please, little one
Though it can't be done
Can't you stay a while
Try to buy some time
But father time is relentless
Shows no mercy at all
Time has its way being heartless, even trees break down and fall
I really don't care if ther'e people around me who think
That I am some sort of looney to write bout the mood that I'm in
Sure life will go on, it gets better with each passing day
But these words are for you and help us to get on our way
Cause the night will come, for everyone, for every living thing
We can't deny that time effects the play that we are in
And once the piper calls
Stay, please, little one
Though it can't be done
Can't you stay a while
If we buy some time
But father time is relentless
Shows no mercy at all
time has its way being heartless, even trees break down and fall
Stay, please, little one
Though it can't be done
Can't you stay a while
Try to buy some time
But father time is relentless
Shows no mercy at all
time has its way being heartless, even trees break down and fall
----------
Now time has come, to leave this world,
There is no plan, no magic words
The best of times, true friend of us,
A spark divine, now turned to dust,
I do not know, nobody does
Where love will go, when leaving us
But I wish you well, where ever you are going
