EVERY DAY YOU HAVE A CHOICE
You say that you’re excused for what you did and what you said
When other people act the way they do
You have no choice but lose your head
And you’re the victim of a world that isn’t fair
But you never say you’re sorry for the times you didn’t care
You say that you have tried so hard to do what they expect
And all you ever gained from that
Was lack of love and no respect
And you’re the victim of a game that makes no sense
But you never say you’re sorry for your living through defence
Every day you have a choice
Between one or another voice
And every choice you make creates your life
What you choose is up to you
Because no one else decides what’s true
And no one can be blamed for forcing you to draw the knife
You say that when you listen to the voices in your head
You only hear a messy kind of noise
And you’re confused of what is said
But you’re the victim of your own unconscious mind
If you never really listen to the silent voice behind
Every day you have a choice
Between one or another voice
And every choice you make creates your life
What you choose is up to you
Because no one else decides what’s true
And no one can be blamed for forcing you to draw the knife
The voices in your head were never who you really are
But only what they’re fooling you to be
The silent voice behind the noise is living in your heart
Waiting in the sacred silent room to set you free
Every day you have a choice
Between one or another voice
And every choice you make creates your life
What you choose is up to you
Because no one else decides what’s true
And no one can be blamed for forcing you to draw the knife

IF IT IS SO
Sometimes I get a feeling
That your heart don’t wanna belong no more
And sometimes I get a sense that
All that you want is to close every open door
That you’re out of my life
Though you’re still hanging ‘round
And baby if it is so, if it is
I’d really like you to tell me about it
And if it is so, if it is
I’d really like you to speak
And if it isn’t so, if it isn’t
I’d really like you to tell me what’s going on
And if it isn’t so, I would like you to figure it out
To catch and to kill this old doubt.
Sometimes I get a feeling
That your mouth is telling me lies and lies
And sometimes I get a sense that
If we should make it – I’ll have to sacrifice
Everything that I found
In the search of my heart
And baby if it is so, if it is
I’d really like you to tell me about it
And if it is so, if it is
I’d really like you to speak
And if it isn’t so, if it isn’t
I’d really like you to tell me what’s going on
And if it isn’t so, I would like you to figure it out
Won’t you please figure out
If you’re out of my life though you’re still hanging ‘round
And if you want to destroy every good thing we found
And if you want me to lose what I loved from the start
And everything that I found in the search of my heart
And baby if it is so, if it is
I’d really like you to tell me about it
And if it is so, if it is
I’d really like you to speak
And if it isn’t so, if it isn’t
I’d really like you to tell me what’s going on
And if it isn’t so, I would like you to figure it out
To catch and to kill this old doubt.
I WILL GIVE YOU MY HEART
I will give you my heart
And then as a start
I’ll give you anything
The greatest kind of love can bring
I’ll share with you all
All my risings and falls
I’ll show you the truest size
Of what I had to realize
And maybe I’m giving away
All that’s living and breathing in my soul
And if you won’t take it
I really don’t know how to make it
But I’ll give it to you anyway
Because my love is no longer the kind
That works half the way
And now that it’s done
I have finally begun
To live in harmony
With all that seems so dear to me
And maybe at last
I will give up the past
And let me spread my wings
And do my most beloved things
And maybe I’m giving away
All that’s living and breathing in my soul
And if you won’t take it
I really don’t know how to make it
But I’ll give it to you anyway
Because my love is no longer the kind
That works half the way
STRANGE
Strange – it can be hard to feel so good
So hard to stand the happiness
Strange – that this sense of feeling right
Is threatened by the fright
That flow will turn to fight in me
Strange – that when you hold me in your arms
I’m not the one I use to be
Strange – that everything I knew
Is changing now when you
Are doing what you do to me
And say, can the truth really be so plain
That love is harder to stand than the pain
And this hysterical feeling of being insane
Is a natural part of the game?
And if it’s so, then what about the wonderful things that they say
Of love being able to carry away
All my worry and doubt at each time of the day
Could it be another illusion
Strange – though I’m supposed to feel secure
This tension grows inside of me
Strange – that this sense of being aware
It never lets me dare
To give up all the scare in me
Strange – that getting what I want
Creates this kind of doubt in me
Strange – that this sense of coming home
Is leaving me alone
And bringing up the moan in me
And say, can the truth really be so plain
That love is harder to stand than the pain
And this hysterical feeling of being insane
Is a natural part of the game?
And if it’s so, then what about the wonderful things that they say
Of love being able to carry away
All my worry and doubt at each time of the day
Could it be another illusion
Could I make another conclusion
Should I really look for the light
Deep down inside this good old heart of mine?
WHAT IF – SO WHAT
People think I am crazy
Believing in everything between heaven and earth
People they think, that the craziest thing about me
Is the way I perceive things
People think I’m romantic
Believing that love can solve all the problems on earth
People they think that the most romantic thing about me
Is the way I perceive love
And what if my faith turns out to be a failure
What if my truth isn’t true?
What if the pilot turns out to be a sailor
What if the sky will never be constantly blue
Well in the meantime – I was happy
And so what?
Well in the meantime – my life was a magical journey
And so what – so what?
People think I am selfish
Believing my souls delight is my mission in life
People they think that the most selfish thing about me
Is the way I perceive souls
People think I’m superstitious
Believing my secret heart is a miracle monger
People they think that the most superstitious about me
Is the way I perceive hearts
And what if my faith turns out to be a failure
What if my truth isn’t true?
What if the pilot turns out to be a sailor
What if the sky will never be constantly blue
“Well you’d better watch out for what people might say”
But why should I care about words?
“Well you’d better watch out for what people might think”
But why should I care about thoughts?
“Well, then you’d better watch out for what’s comme il faut”
But why should I care about that
“Well then you’d better, you’d better watch over your own reputation”
But why should I care about that, when my heart says, that:
What if my faith turns out to be a failure
What if my truth isn’t true?
What if the pilot turns out to be a sailor
What if the sky will never be constantly blue
Well in the meantime – I was happy
And so what?
Well in the meantime – my life was a magical journey
And so what – so what?
ANGEL OF LIGHT
If I could only see you now
And if I only knew exactly how
To look for your “Hello”
To see you and to know
What would you show me then
My Angel of Light
If I could only hear you now
And if I only knew exactly how
To listen to your voice
Through all this wordy noise
What would you tell me then
My Angel of Light
Oh, how I wish
That I could use my common senses
To recognize as kisses what you give
Oh, if I could see your face -
Hear your whisper – feel your warm embrace
Say, would my life come back on trace
If I could only feel you now
And if I only knew exactly how
To sense that you are here
To blow away my fear
What would you give me then
My Angel of Light
THIS IS MORE
This is more
This is more than I expected
Though God knows I expected a lot
This is more – this is more than I ever dreamed of
Though my dreams were of the sweetest kind I’ve got
I have searched in the air
I have searched by the fire
In the water as deep as the sky
I never thought it would be so impressive to me
To be standing on this mountain high
This is all
This is all that I expected
Though you said I expected too much
This is all – this is all that I ever dreamed of
Though my dreams were the kind you couldn’t touch
I have searched all over the world the world
I have searched right behind me
In the people with whom I’ve spent the time
I never thought it would be so impressive to me
To be resting in this heart of mine
Somebody told me that love has grown cold
Now I can see it is just getting old
And as it’s old, it is shining so bright
That people believe it is out of their sight
Somebody told me that love has grown cold
Now I can see it is just getting old
And as it’s old, it is shining so bright
That people believe it is out of their sight
BIRD
I once had a bird who could fly
But everytime it left my hand
And it tried to reach the sky
It fell down, down, down to the ground
Never hearing the sound
Of the angels around
And then one day I found myself without it
I once had a bird who could sing
But everytime that winther faded
And nature smelled of spring
It went dumb, dumb, suddenly numb
Never hearing the song of the angels among
And then one day I found myself without it
And then the other day an angel came my way
She whispered in my ear:
There’s something you must hear
I’ve got your little bird and finally it heard
The fundamental sound of angels all around
So go on, baby, doing your thing
You can fly – you can sing
I once had a bird who could play
But everytime the sky was open
It went shy and turned away
Shy, shy, shy as a spy
Never touching the sky where the angelbirds fly
And then one day I found myself without it
And then the other day an angel came my way
She whispered in my ear:
There’s something you must hear
I’ve got your little bird and finally it heard
The fundamental sound of angels all around
So go on, baby, doing your thing
You can fly – you can sing
SONG FOR ANNA
I can see in your eyes
That you’ve just arrived in this world
I can tell by the light
That is making you shine like a pearl
You’re seemingly fragile and small
Yet what you are
Is some of the greatest of all
Close to the star
I can see in your smile
That you’ve come to bring joy to this earth
And your confident style
Is teaching us all the wonder of worth
You’re coming with lightness and love
Right from the Main
Blissfully ignorant of
Sorrow and pain
I can tell by your ease
That the source of your soul is boundless and soft
And by your aura of peace
That your heart has been touched from above
Seemingly fragile and small
Yet what you are
Is some of the greatest of all
Close to the star
Lyrics: Jane Meldgaard
I KNEW
I knew from the start
I knew that we could make it
Though my poor aching heart
Never thought that it could take it
But now when you touch me
My soul feels so sure as can be
That you love me
I knew you’re the one
Although I wasn’t certain
Every time that the sun
Disappeared behind the curtain
But whatever life chose
To bring on into my field of view
I love you
The years that went by
Were days filled with crying
And days filled with happiness too
But each time when we were fighting
To bring on the lightning
We learned a little more
Of what Love wants us to do
I knew all along
That we were meant to do it
To live and get strong
Don’t know how I knew it
But now when you hold me
It seems that we finally came through
And I love you
I DIDN’T KNOW
I didn’t know that life could be so easy
Until that precious day came along
I didn’t know that life
Could be out of control
There’s a tale to be told
And a reason to live and get old
I didn’t know that love could be so simple
Until that feeling came wand’ring along
I didn’t know that love
Could be right, never wrong
There’s a tune to be sung
And a reason to live and get strong
And my heart is a-singing
The bells that are ringing
Are made out of silver no more
The material’s light
And it’s shining so bright
You can see through a hard closed door
I didn’t know my heart could be so happy
Until that precious mood came along
I didn’t know my heart
Could be flying and soar
There’s a sky to adore
And a reason to live and explore
And my heart is a-singing
The bells that are ringing
Are made out of silver no more
The material’s light
And it’s shining so bright
You can see through a hard closed door
