Silence

Life is a dream
We must all dream it
Time is a stream
We might all get lost in it

I played the game
I tossed the dice
It is always the same
Desire has a price

The future doesn´t change the past
In the confidence we had we lost
Everything that was meant to last
Now I am stuck alone with this ghost

Too late I awoke
From the memories I had forgot
Then I learned from the silence that you broke
That I still will have to live, love, and lose a lot.

A Prayer of Gratitude

I thank Thee for this morning
For waking me up as so many times before
The start of the day was calm and beautiful
I was greeted by Thy patience
Thy will for me was whispered to my soul

I thank Thee for granting me wisdom
To chose the better way
More grace was added to me this day
I´ve felt Thy love for me through Thy children
In every handshake, hug, and nod
In every smile, and in every eye I´ve met

I thank Thee for Thy mercy
Thy blessings and Thy gentle care
My soul has felt Thy grandeour today
Thy love for me has blessed me with greater capacity to love
In thanks to Thee I have sung to Thy praise

I thank Thee for Thy presence in my life
Communing with Thee makes my heart burn
Thy words teach me and fill my soul
I humbly ask Thee to always remain with me
And don´t let me move away from Thee
Else the darkness of the world
Might get a chance to conquer my mind

I thank Thee for the guidance of Thy Spirit
Through Thy mercy I´ve been able to make a difference today
I´ve been allowed to be an instrument in Thy hands
My soul vibrates and my humbled spirit sings
When Thy sweet Spirit strikes my strings

I thank Thee for filling my heart with joy
I feel Thee so close my eyes are now wet
Help me to never ever forget
May my soul always be filled with Thy light
That I may see and win every day´s fight
And then at least exalted be
In peace and rest, O Lord, with Thee

Busy living

So long time without you
I would have cried my heart out
God knows ´that´s what I wanted to do
Maybe I would forget how to smile
If you would decide to never come back to my life
But I´ve been too busy laughing

So long time without you
I would have felt my world has ended
Abandoned with pain and despair
I would have let the grass grow under me
But I´ve been too busy moving on

So long time without you
In my heart, uninvited guest
I would have missed you more
Would have grown bitter for what you did
This silence and uncertainty could have killed me
Trapped in memories of better days
But I´ve been too busy living

So long time without you
I could have left my heart broken
Stomped on and thorn into pieces
By someone like you
I could have closed my eyes
Closed the door to my heart and soul
Locked it up and thrown the key away
But Ivé been too busy loving

The Pocket of My Heart

This dawn I picked down
The moon and the morning star
So like you and me in many ways

You, eternal wanderer
Me, trying to shine my little light

We seem to travel together
But we follow different routes
Different goals
Different hopes and dreams
Different ways to get there

This dawn I picked down
The moon and the morning star
So like you and me in many ways

I took them down carefully
I guarded them in the pocket of my heart
The only place where you will ever find rest
The only place where I will shine together with you
The only place where we will be together
Eternally

...Just the Way it is...

There is something about you
And I don’t know what it is
But it’s this thing that you do
That makes me feel like this

Don’t know really what I feel
But I feel a lot
Feel both sure and insecure
I don’t know about what

Inside of me it’s stormy, yet it is so still
I feel so good but at the same time you make me feel so ill
Everything feels like it’s upside down
It feels so strange but yet it feels so known

At times you confuse me
Yet make me see things so clear
Sometimes you amuse me
Then you make me shed tear after tear

Even if I can be myself with you
Sometimes I am another
I know you care about me too
But at the same time you don’t seem to bother

Sometimes your words are sweet
Sometimes your words are sour
Still they decide my heartbeat
Minute after minute, hour after hour

You are a very special man
Still a boy that needs to mature
I have to forget about you anyway I can
It’s impossible. I’ve tried, so I’m sure

So now there are only two ways
Deny it or ignore
How can I when I think of you all my days
And it’s you that I adore

I try to deny every feeling
They don’t exist. It’s true
Don’t want to have them in my being
Often they make me happy but mostly sad and blue

I try to ignore them as well
Still it tickles inside of me
I hope for the feelings not to dwell
At the same time I want to let them be

You beg me to come
I beg you not to leave
Anywhere with you is home
When I’m with you I can believe

That this life has a meaning
That this world is the best of all
That there is a morning in every evening
And a spring in every fall

When you´re not with me I don´t feel well
When I’m not with you I don’t feel whole
Being nowhere near you is unbearable
It’s like I’ve split my soul

Maybe for no special reason
But you make me feel like this
Doesn’t matter the season
That’s just the way it is.
