1. Day and Night
There’s a bird in the sky flying round and round
There are shades in the night and I like the sound of
Being you, flying high in the light of the night and the day
Landscapes passing by when you are on your way
Wandering around in enigmas, wandering around in enigmas
Wandering around in enigmas playing a tiresome game
This in itself is a wonder, this in itself is a wonder
Bird
Birds flying high into the black and the white of the night
Birds flying high into the white and the black of the light so
Let me try to climb the mountain but not by stepping on what is below, but pull me
Up at what’s above me for my part at the stars, Amen
Wandering around in enigmas, wandering around in enigmas
Wandering around in enigmas playing a tiresome game
This in itself is a wonder, this in itself is a wonder
Bird
Birds in the sky they go white in the night and they go black in
The light and they never wonder why they fly at day and night
But I know I love you
Wandering around in enigmas, wandering around in enigmas
Wandering around in enigmas playing a tiresome game
This in itself is a wonder, this in itself is a wonder
Bird

2. Rosie
A mother’s heart it will break apart when her little girl don’t wanna go
In the morning she cries: mummy I will die, don’t leave me here alone
but the teacher takes her hand and her mummy was sent away, the door is closed goodbye and the children are laughing and the girl don’t have any clue what is going on, she’s shy
but there is Rosie
She’s the sweetest one, she is smiling all the time to make you sure everything is all right, nobody died, here is Rosie
She is taking care and if you go into a nightmare, she say you’ve just made a step
into the big big world welcome, welcome, I will show you a round
Mummy, mummy, I am not a dummy, I made some friends to day
Mummy, mummy, I am not a dummy, Bobby and Johnny and they wanted me to play
And the teacher is sweet her name is Rosie I’m a girl on her lap and I made my first step
With the sweet sweet Rosie
A mother’s heart beats happily when her children grow strong and free
When they’re grown ups she still be there, a mothers heart always cares and Rosie is the teacher of those who feel lost, come with me, the door is closed, good bye
and the people are laughing but she don’t mind , she got the clue what’s going on oh, she’s so kind, there is Rosie
She’s the sweetest one, she is smiling all the time to make you sure everything is all right, nobody died, here is Rosie
She is taking care and if you go into a nightmare, she say you’ve just made a step
into the big big world welcome, welcome, I will show you a round
Mummy, mummy, I am not a dummy, I made some friends to day
Mummy, mummy, I am not a dummy, Bobby and Johnny and they wanted me to play
And the teacher is sweet her name is Rosie I’m a girl on her lap and I made my first step
With the sweet sweet Rosie

4. April 26, Guernica
I was born on a Sunday morning and I
opened my eyes, just left Paradise at 8 AM and the church bells were ringing and the
birds started singing when the sun did rise, that’s how i started my life as a natural child and my mum she kept quiet while she waited all night when my
daddy fell in love, he left is wife and child at 8 PM and the church bells were ringing and the
bartender was singing when the moon did rise, that’s how I started my life as a natural child
Picasso painting on the wall
The eyes of a horse before he falls
On the bed where you made love and where I was born
Mum, don’t you cry while you’re ironing his shirts, I know it hurts because the
room was filled with your hidden tears from 8 pm and the church bells stopped ringing and the birds stopped singing and the sun went down , that’s how I started my life as a natural child
Mum, don’t you fight, dad, don’t you hide your
lies in silence in a warlike love, it was 8 am and the alarm bells were ringing and the
children were screaming at the top of the stairs , nobody cared about the crying child
Picasso painting on the wall
The eyes of a horse before he falls
On the bed where you made love and where I was born
All my life I have tried to analyze my simple device, why the
bells don’t ring and the birds refuse to sing from 8 AM ‘till the final end, all my
love is just a hopeless crazy attempt in a lover’s life of a troubled child
Am I wrong if I say that I am looking for the one and only love of my life or is it
just a fairy tale in a lost Paradise DM Instagram send me flowers, all of them
Birds are singing and the sun shines bright, that’s how I wish my life as a natural child

5. Keep the Streets Alive
She came from far and nobody knew what was going on
She took out her Taylor guitar and put her hat on the floor
I don’t need, she said, no one to give, I just like to sing my song and live,
C’mon babe, she said, c’mon say, you don’t like to hide away
She started to dance and she moved so free, you let her take your hand
because you don’t know what to say
So what? That’s how life should be
And while she moved nobody knew what was going on
She cried out what was coming in, she put her soul on the floor
I don’t need, she said, to be here, I just like to sing my songs and share
C’mon babe, she said, c’mon sing and she played her tambourine
She started her song and she jumped on the floor there is nothing I long
and I don’t ask for more
So what? That’s where life is for
And her eyes were dark as hell an she never stopped to cry
and when you smile, you know as well as I everything is fine
she don’t tell, she said, no one what to do, she just like to sing her song for me and you
C’mon babe, she said, c’mon laugh, there is you and that is all you will have
She played her chords and when you pass by she never get bored ‘cause she looks you in the eye
So what? She keeps the streets alive

Something

You were there (Something)
There’s a fire up ahead in the mountains where I live,
people run and I come to declare you were there ! I could swear you were there
There’s a Woman on her way, left her children, could not stay, because they’re gone and since they come to win their war they killed some more ! So she swore there will be more
A young boy was playing when he heard his daddy praying they were
running for the fire and he heard his uncle crying and his
sisters and brothers, they were hiding, because their
mothers and the fathers they never stop fighting
There’s a young man in the wood, he‘s a soldier, he will shoot and the day, the day turned into night when he fights and in the light of the darkness he cried
There are children on their way , they were taught to show the way
to anyone who lost his soul to fear, they got to bear their faith in fear
The old man standing on the ruins of his house, he spread his arms and he began to applaud
Bravo bravo and he bowed to humankind and he humbled down and he said
Something should change our minds, he said
something I know that deep inside there must be
something and he closed his eyes, he whispered
something and then he died … can you do
something to stop this madness, something to turn the sadness into
something so I can live again, will you do something to make it to an end

Mama, where are you now, oh mama, where did you go
Mama, where are you now oh mama, I loved you so
You live in heaven I know you are still there, watching me hanging around, me searching for the stairs to my mummy tell me- now do you understand how love can fade away, when you made the wrong decision, when you decided to stay, you brought me in this position and I struggle like a child in my head there is a fight , I wish I could say goodbye to the voices in my head they tell me that I am the bad, bad girl, bad girl
Show me the way to get out of this psychic tangle of contradiction of love and hate and loyalty
It stopped me breathing, please don’t leave me on this planet all by myself
It stopped me breathing, please don’t leave me on this planet all by myself, o mama
Do you hear me call oh mama, do you see me fall in the desert of emptiness, in the jungle, where’s no access to get out of the chaos in my head when you sent me to the one who cheated on you, hurt you when you sent me to the one who is the bad guy, so that’s why I am the bad girl because you told me all the time I look like him, but I don’t like him, I’m like him and I am the bad girl and he is the bad guy
Show me the way to get out of this psychic tangle of contradiction of love and hate and loyalty
It stopped me breathing, please don’t leave me on this planet all by myself, o mum
It stopped me breathing, please don’t leave me on this planet all by myself, o mama
that is me on the corner on this planet all by myself o mama
that is me on the corner on this planet all by myself o mama
this is a song from a daughter this is a song for a mother
this is a song from a child this is a song to the other side
mama, where are you now, oh mama, where did you go oh
mama, where are you now oh mama, I loved you so
Show me the way to get out of this psychic tangle of contradiction of love and hate and loyalty
