your mind’s astray
pulls you in a mood
each minute’s a day
mystically sneaks its way
when things run smooth
and you do feel so good
inside there’s an omen
just like it’s always been
people look so amazed
cannot stand their gaze
look what you’ve got
life on a rope…
when things go down
all you need is a friend
no need for a frown
we are all just the same
people look so amazed
cannot stand their gaze
see what you’ve got
life on a rope

living in different spaces
meet once and again
got that strong motivation
do the best we can
combined our choices
live just like friends
gone years of temptation
this is where we stand
two strangers search the country
most people know where to go
here we are looking for chances
what we have is what we know
been to so many places
made the best to win
with smiles on our faces
this world would spin
two strangers search the country
most people know where to go
here we are looking for chances
what we have is what we know
looking for chances
forget all the pain
looking for chances
to breathe again
two strangers search the country
most people know where to go
here we are looking for chances
what we have is what we know

you’re gone away
I feel so blind
keep calling your name
the phone drives me wild
call it a day
without you on my side
still hear you say
freedom is our guide
we’re living, we’re flying
as birds in the sky
we’re dreaming and trying
freedom is our guide
when you’re away
there’s a different shade
Time slows down its pace
every minute feels as a day
grab yours, I’ll take mine
words can mend or hurt sometimes
feel the passion deep inside
will and freedom our guide
we’re living, we’re flying
as birds in the sky
we’re dreaming and trying
freedom is our guide
your voice, soft as the day
the touch of your hands
soon there to stay
whisper a whiff of the flame…
we’re living, we’re flying
as birds in the sky
we’re dreaming and trying
freedom is our guide

some say paradise is here
some say paradise is lost
if we could master fear
feelings are the most
some say it’s the end of time
can’t see the beauty inside
each follows the line
we’re all one of a kind
everybody deserves to live
see the sunset shine
wisdom’s to share and to give
make it all worthwhile
you may think you’re lonely
surrounded by souls
open your eyes, you’ll see
we’re part of it all
everybody deserves to live
see the sunset shine
wisdom’s to share and to give
make it all worthwhile

climb the mountain beyond the hills
down below the valley
we all have some things to tell
everyone knows the story
been running across the fields
many patterns to carry
till you build it, till you feel
much more than the worry
that’s where we stand
that’s who we are
got it in hand
let’s take a start
whoever follows such dreams
of a better place to be
should make upwhat it means
praise everything we see
that’s where we stand
that’s who we are
got it in hand
let’s take a start

wake up late, out of control
grab a coffee somewhere in town
every photo, every image on hold
meant to live in my mind…
remember, we sneaked through the streets
to look at the sun set over the sea
the lights so enthralling, they were calling
for a deeper meaning or sense…
walking fast I followed you
as we ran under the moon
every corner, a new story and clue
the touch of you on my soul
to the sound of seagulls
snuggled up you and me
I can feel your hands all over me
we have turned a new page
to the sound of the waves
our love has turned a new page…
sitting side by side on the sand
heat of the day, sunrays so warm
I’d give you all, everything I have
just to feel the touch of your hands
to the sound of the breeze
we’re in love forever
those feelings of ease
lead us together
to the sound of the waves
our love has turned a new page…

going places playing a role youain’t
taking chances, doin’ the best you can
it’s well granted, build on your plan
tomorrow’s gonna light the lane
the path you’ve been trampling on
without any vision or an aim
suddenly the gloom has gone
years carry reasons and gains
gather bits and pieces
of your broken heart and thoughts
build on your own choices
just gotta trust your soul
going places new things to be seen
go to places you’ve never been
do your best, give it all in
any day can bring a change
gather bits and pieces
of your broken heart and thoughts
build on your own choices
just gotta trust your soul

click here to listen to the tune
I walked these streets
on top of the hill
workin’ on my dreams
ready to feel
promenade dans ma ville
regards croisés
merveilles nouvelles
endroits cachés
new places to be
the streets of the free
every corner you see
heartbeats take the lead
my own neighbourhood
places to see
it feels so good
the way it could be
à notre portée
le parcours d’une vie
nouveau projet
ça commence ici
new places to be
the streets of the free
every corner you see
heartbeats take the lead
new places to be
the streets of the free
every corner you see
heartbeats take the lead

years pass me by as the wind blows
meanwhile circumstances change
get in line and grow more
mature you’d still get the blows
I live in the same town where he once lived
I see the same places that she’s seen
I know the same, got the same obsession
the century hit hard on me
now listen
all we achieved in living
the way we breathe in
everybody needs to give in
the world we live in
can you tell me where the days gone
that made us strong
stick together we should hold on
to sort the good from the wrong
all we achieved in living
the way we breathe in
everybody needs to give in
to give in!
all we achieved in living
the way we breathe in
everybody needs to give in
the world we live in

come together, all my folks
run down the hill, grab your coats
the steamboat is ready, let it roll
everybody now, get on board!
long journey, is where we go
that boat’s gonna drift beneath oaks
my lady came knockin’ at my door
on the deck the golden sun
fade down beneath the Mississippi
there was hope in your eyes
if we belong we keep carry on
we’ll never say goodbye
come together, all my people
we paid the dues now we can ride
all’s packed now, fought these battles
just like a steamboat we will dive
fade down beneath the Mississippi
there was hope in your eyes
if we belong we keep carry on
we’ll never say goodbye
