It's funny how people 
Look for thorns when they want to touch a rose
I'm not afraid of thorns
They make me feel alive
And she, she makes my heart dance
The moment I feel her scent
I don't love the rose for her thorns
I love her despite them

I sang a song to a bird
With the wind I had a flirt
I took a ride on a cloud
Told a story out loud
I danced together with the leaves
Bowed my head to the trees
I took a picture with an ant
Made a silly face with a friend
I sealed my mouth with a glue
Saw a picture of a kangoroo
I saw the moons in the sky
Let my eyes tell a lie
I met an apple with a heart
And all of this wasn't hard
As I don't have any guard
I let my soul have fun today
Oh, what a feeling what a day

I am what I am
I am a woman not a man
I am a cloud and dreamer
I have a mouth and a mind
I have eyes that aren't blind
To the worries that you hide
And the smile of your pride
I have ears for your tears
And a shoulder for your head
Whenever you are sad
I have feet that will dance
When they see a chance
And a puddle on the way
Although the rain is long gone
But I always will be strong
When a friend is in need
And a lost soul needs a light
Through the starless night
So if you ever see
A woman on a tree
Or a smiling head
Hanging out of the window
A dancing heart
Riding on a bike
Or a pair of crazy feet
That do what they like
If you ever see
Somebody like me
Tell them they are not the only one
Tell them they are not the crazy one
Tell them to be true in whatever they do

Cause I am what I am
And don't give a ****

Would you ever let me in
Behind the wall made of glass
So nobody would see it
Nobody but me

Would you ever tell
What lies deep within
What have made you cry
What have made you sin

Would you ever hear
What my heart has to say
Should it ever leave
Or should it try to stay

Would you ever try
To do this one thing
Sew my heart back together
And let my soul sing


Would you ever do
This one thing for me

How would you know
If you stay behind your shadow
As children do when they meet a stranger
How would you know
If you close your eyes to the beauties
This world has to offer
How would you know
If you never try

How would you know
If you close your heart
And just wait to be dead
How would you know
If you just stand in one place
And miss the crossroads life has to offer
How would you know
If you never try

How would you know
The colors of the sky
When the day is born
How would you know
If the scent of spring
Can make you smile
How would you know
If you never try

How would you know
How love is supposed to feel
If you live your life
Hidden behind a shield
How would you know
If you never try

Standing before Love
We have to be barefoot and naked
We have to be honest and open
And  not be afraid of the pain
It will come anyway and it will cut us deep
But we will feel more present
And see the world as it is

So do not tell me I shouldn't love
Do not tell me I shouldn't fly
Do not tell me I shouldn't hear the music
The angels sing and
See them dance in the starry sky
And do not tell me I should't be true
I was born to love and so were you

I think I need a lifetime
To wear off these feelings I have
To cry out this river veiled in me
Cause life is no fairytale
When there isn’t you and me

Why it gets harder
Each time I fall down
Have I not learned it yet
That people are just clowns

Only a fool and a lost soul
Can give them credit for nothing they have ever done
And give them a chance to prove
That they are children of the sun

Oh why did you let me fly
Just to drop me like a stone
Oh this falling has no end
Why did you let me feel you
So I could never forget?
Nor can I have any regret
Cause the feeling you have left me with is bitter sweet
Oh we should have never meet

Why did I let you in
When my heart was still a wreck
And it couldn’t see what is bad
Or that you are still sad
Oh why did I ever believed
That your words are from your soul
From within

If you ever meet your soulmate
Just make sure that he is the one
Before he strips you to the bones
and turn your heart into stone
Even the softest wind will crash your wings
before you realize that you are again all alone
