Cause and Effect

I watch the news and see the world collapsing

Because of hate, poverty and pain

It makes my face look grim and leaves me gasping

When nature dies and helpless men are slain

 

Whatever the cause, there’s always effect

That’s something we do not see

A blind man can see, the things that we do

Are really not meant to be

 

We take it all in the wrong direction

And I am sure we are well aware

We think our life is all ‘bout satisfaction

If we’d live our dreams we’d all be billionaire

 

Whatever the cause, there’s always effect

That’s something we just not see

A blind man can see, the things that we do

Are really not meant to be

All I Want

I am aware that I am

Not an easy man

To be around

Or feel attached to

 

I can’t provide what you need

To busy trying to be me

But somehow you make me feel connected

 

All I want is what you do best

Give me your sweet smile and breath

 

When the world around me is dark

You light the road that I walk

This isn’t quite what I expected

 

Gimme your sweet smile and breath

 

And in the aftermath

When I lay down to rest

I wonder – I this a test

For you and me?

 

All I want is what you do best

Give me your sweet smile and breath

Smile On Your Face

You carry around a big bag of problems

Walking so straight with exhausted eyes

There was a time when you were smiling

I know it – I’ve seen it – you’re  living a lie

 

You took the weight of the world upon you

With good intentions – I believe for sure

 

There’s a smile on your face

But not in your eyes

Don’t you know how to lose all the pain inside

 

Trying to hide your misery from others

Giving a hand to those in need

A very sweet gesture, you’re too blind to see that

You’re the one that’s forgotten indeed

 

You carry the weight of the world upon you

With good intentions – I believe for sure

 

There’s a smile on your face

But not in your eyes

Don’t you know how to lose all the pain inside

That smile on your face

Is not in your eyes

Don’t you know how the lose

All that pain you hide

 

The Emptiness Outside Of Me (Christian)

So sweet

So beautiful

I’ll  carry you to the end of the world if it’s the last thing I do

I love you

My boy

 

So many times I’ve seen

The emptiness outside of me

With you in my heart I’ve got everything

 

So small

So soft

I hold you in the folds of my heart I’ll keep you warm I’ll keep you safe

So innocent

So pure

 

So many times I’ve seen

The emptiness outside of me

With you in my heart I’ve got everything

 

And every night I watch you when you sleep

Christian

 

So many times I’ve seen

The emptiness outside of me

With you in my heart I’ve got everything

Guiding Star

Time passes by – way too fast

I see you playing with your toys – It won’t last

Your first step is a firm walk now

You say you’re strong and then you show me how

 

I hold pictures in my hand

With your eyes asking for mama

Fearless and faithful

Surrendering to her love

 

Show me the road you’ll walk

Cause I wanna be there when you fall

To pick you up and put you back on your feet

To comfort you so you can move on

 

Son, things disappear

Someday I won’t be here

You’ll be strong enough the way you are

I’ll be your guiding star

Blame Me

It gets darker every day we have

The sun is almost gone

Should we hold on to that little beam

Or consider us done

We ‘ve forgotten what we’re aiming for

Our eyes have troubled sight

 

I don’t know how to deal with you

Just like you don’t know how to handle me

There is no sense in what I do

 

Blame me – For what has been so hard

Blame me – For what’s fallen apart

Blame me – I know that’s what you do

Blame me – Because that’s easy for you

 

And I will never try to be the supporting actor in your perfect play

 

Things take longer than we expect

We find that hard accept

We gotta try to have some patience first

Before we run out of it

 

I don’t know if we stand a chance

But I know damn well how we used to be

We let things slip right through our hands

 

Blame me – For what has been so hard

Blame me – For what’s fallen apart

Blame me – I know that’s what you do

Blame me – Because that’s easy for you

 

And I will never try to be the supporting actor in your perfect play

 

Blame me - For what has been so hard

Blame me – For what’s fallen apart

Blame me – I know that’s what you do

Blame me – Because it's best for you

 

I Just Had To Go

I can still see your face

When I brought the news

Of me letting go

You cried and asked ‘Why?’

But I couldn’t reply

I was numb, like I just choked

 

You’re in the dark, Tommy, I know

Too young to know what’s going on

You’re forced to go with the flow

No part in what’s been said and done

 

But I don’t wanna go

Without you knowing

I tried so hard to stay with you

Until that day

It echoes in my head

The sound of what we had

But I just have to go

 

And Chris , my boy

You didn’t say a word

But your eyes said it all

You were struck by my words

They must have hurt

You didn’t know how to handle this one

I hurt the ones I love the most

The toughest thing I ever did

I miss you when you’re not with me

This isn’t how things should be

 

But I don’t wanna go

Without you knowing

I tried so hard to stay with you

Until that day

It echoes in my head

The sound of what we had

But I just have to go

 

It comforts me

You’re doing well

But I’m still in hell

I miss our boys when they’re not here

Sometimes I miss you too, dear

Please understand the toughest fight

Wasn’t with you but with myself

It’s like I have failed

I can’t get used to the answers in my heart

 

But I don’t wanna go

Without you knowing

I tried so hard to stay with you

Until that day

It echoes in my head

The sound of what we had

But I just have to go

 

But I don’t wanna go

Without you knowing

I tried so hard to stay with you

Until that day

It echoes in my heart

The sound of what we had

But I just have to go

 

What do you want from me?

What do you want from me?

Is it what you think you see?

You’ve got love in your eyes

Got something else on my mind

So better just let me be

 

You wanna have me, but we just met

You wanna talk about this or that

You think you made the right choice

But there is pain in my voice

I’m the one to forget

 

I’m not the kinda man

To live the easy life

I need some tension to

Get the best out of me

 

I’m a drifter deep inside

Got too many things to hide

I never found my place

Put on another face

Counting on things that might

 

Times change, but far too slow

My patience is running low

I guess my approach is wrong

Somehow I will come out strong

 

Hey, what do you see?

When you open your eyes

Is it me or just lies?

What do you want from me?

 

I’m not too easy to understand

It’s hard for you to be my friend

I got my problems too

They don’t belong to you

Sometimes I don’t know where to stand

 

I’m not the kinda guy

Just to sit still and die

I need to explore my boundries

Find out where I belong

 

Hey, what do you see?

When you open your eyes

Is it me or just lies?

What do you want from me?

 

Baby, just wait and see

Darling, open your eyes

And you see how I fly

What do you want from me?

 

You Were There

You walked into my life one day

The reason why is mine to say

I walked around this planet as if I was deaf and numb

I thought you'd bring the light

 

You were there when I fell down

You left me lying there on the ground

 

My body ached, my mind was weak

Waiting for my life to peak

But nothing comes into your life if you're not inviting it

I realize that now

 

You were there when I fell down

You left me lying there on the ground

 

Shining bright, I am the light

Got everything within my sight

I walk around this planet as if I'm a winning man

I always see the light

 

You were there when I fell down

You left me lying there on the ground

 

The Missing Song

Trying to cheer me up doesn’t bring me wealth

I can not pay my bills with the singing birds and health

When I remain silent  - I have nothing to say

I don’t wanna hurt your feelings and that’s the easiest way

 

But it ’s all written down in the missing song – the missing song

 

People think they know, what works for them works for you

But that’s just the biggest crap I’ve heard it just ain’t true

So many conversations are stuck in my head

Still my feelings about them remain unsaid

 

But it ’s all written down in the missing song – the missing song

All I feel but can’t express

Every ‘no’ that should be a ‘yes’

All the things I never say

For whatever reason keep away

 

Angels of faith they sing in my head

Songs that encourage me

Their wings embrace my misunderstood thoughts

They are save with them

See, hear and figure out

What’s in my head I challenge you

To understand my actions and my thoughts

They’re mine and only mine to keep

Don’t feed me straight lines, You’re in too deep

 

But it ’s all written down in the missing song – the missing song

All I feel but can’t express

Every ‘no’ that should be a ‘yes’

All the things I never say

For whatever reason keep away

The missing song is just for you

You don’t have to understand

I won’t ask you to

 

Shadow

 

I was wrong about many things in life

I used to wake up to face the day with pride

 

But I can’t let go of the things

That changed my faith and trust

They set their mark on my life

It is the reason why I do some things

 

I was wrong....I was wrong....so wrong

I should choose between what to leave behind

Or what to embrace as a lesson

 

I should let go of the things

That changed my faith and trust

They set their mark on my life

It is the reason why I lost hope

 

It’s just the shadow covering me

That makes me unable to see

So many things I would have done different....if I could
