Sorry

Sister says guilt is good
Talk to God and you’re off the hook
Apology sounds so sweet
But it won’t change reality
I can’t pretend nothing happened
Sorry doesn’t say sorry

Here we go it’s your show
Your passion play where I betray you
Suck me in call me friend
Then you complain about everything
Chalk it up to bad luck
Sorry doesn’t say
Sorry doesn’t say sorry

Sorry doesn’t say
Sorry doesn’t change a thing
Sorry doesn’t say

Dalai does what Dalai says
Leave this world with no regrets
What you do comes back at you
Only you know the truth
What will you say on Judgment Day
Sorry doesn’t say
Sorry doesn’t say sorry

Sorry doesn’t say
Sorry doesn’t change a thing
Sorry doesn’t say

Dancing With Lazarus

Please, please don’t you cry for me
Me, I am on my way
Everything will change

This, this is my dying wish
I wish you get everything
I don’t need anything

Why, why do you pray to God
God can not cure or kill
Where is the magic pill

We can see she’s fading fast
Strangest color blue
Listen close she’s whispering
Dancing, dancing with Lazarus

Love, love is a word that falls
Falls from my lips to yours
Silently opens a door

Now, now is the time to touch
Touch everything I see
Is this real or a dream

Pain, pain is the sound of life
Life at the end of war
Another baby born

In and out flying about
Angels in her eyes
Why is she reaching out
Dancing, dancing with Lazarus

Miracles can happen
Chaos has no reason
We are only human
Dancing, dancing with Lazarus
Dancing, dancing with Lazarus

“You tell me that I must perish
Like the flowers that I cherish
Nothing remaining of my name
Nothing remembered of my fame
But the gardens I planted still are young
The songs I sang will be sung”

‹Huexotzin, Prince of Texcoco, ca. 1484

Stolen Fire

Turn off the TV open your eyes
This is real life passing you by
I don¹t want to run don’t wanna to hide
I need courage now without pride

Shackled shelterless Prometheus
Help me to release this bitterness
When I try to love my enemy
It seems I end up hating me

Stolen Fire is the light between the sticks and stones It’s the spark that starts a life
The flame inside your skin and bones
Stolen Fire in my hands
I bring you all I know
It’s the key to freedom
You can use it or let it go

Before I was born I had a dream
I was a rolling wave over the sea
After life and death nobody knows
Where we will go

Stolen Fire is the light between the sticks and stones It’s the spark that starts a life
The flame inside your skin and bones
Stolen Fire in my hands
I bring you all I know
It’s the key to freedom
You can use it or let it go

Talk it over let it out
Talk it over let it out

Are you satisfied with your life
Do you want to try to make it right
Come out from behind your chain-linked fence
Come down from your tower of silence

Stolen Fire is the light between the sticks and stones It’s the spark that starts a life
The flame inside your skin and bones
Stolen Fire in my hands
I bring you all I know
It’s the key to freedom
You can use it or let it go

Love And Let Go

I heard what you said
The words ring in my head
Something ’bout you’re going away
You know I’m gonna fight it
I don’t wanna think about it
How can I love and let go

Nothing makes sense I can’t see the good in this
All I feel is an emptiness
You can’t just disappear like
You’re an angel and leave me here
How do I love and let go

Life is a flower
Love is the water
Hope is the last light to shine

Time hurts then it heals
Is this the way I’m supposed to feel
Like I’m standing in a burning field
Fate has a funny way of
Making everybody pay
All we can do is love and let go

I’m gonna hold on
I will be strong
But I don’t know why
I can’t love and let go
Love and let go

The Last Love

Let’s take a photograph today
Hang it on the wall and watch us change
We’re on a runaway train
That carries us from the cradle to the grave

I close my eyes and I can see
Your love moving over me
We’re made from memories and dreams
We’re still here and strong or so it seems

You’re the last love I need
For the first time I can feel
Love is real ’cause it’s the
Best time I¹ve had
You’re the last love

Once upon a time and long ago
I was the girl letting go
A bottle of wine and a cheap radio
All alone waiting by the phone

Now you’re the one who welcomes me
You are the wounded one redeemed
The more we give we receive
I never knew it could be so easy

You’re the last love I need
For the first time
I can feel Love is real ’cause it’s the
Best time I¹ve had
You’re the last love

You’re the last
You’re the last love

Mind Over Matter

You say anything is possible
I think it’s gonna take a miracle
Why do I feel so far away
A tiny boat on a big wave
The winds of change
Are blowing this way

Tell me everything I don’t know
Leave me the mystery of tomorrow
Sometimes I feel invisible
Like I’m a ghost untouchable
What do you see
When you look through me

Mind over matter
Dreams can come true
Mind over matter
Try something new
Mind over matter
I’ve got nothing to lose

The great desire for happiness
Comes from all of this loneliness
I’m always running out of rope
The grand illusion goes up in smoke
I say hello
To the next rainbow

Mind over matter
Dreams can come true
Mind over matter
Try something new
Mind over matter
I’ve got nothing to lose

Mind over matter
I’ll make my move

From The Inside

Under the surface
Beneath the perfect skin
The world’s cracking
The center gives

Life’s not a straight line
It’s more like a spiral
She says everyday
She lets go

From the inside a silent cry
From the inside out of sight
From the inside behind her eyes
From the inside a sad smile

Take off the coat of anger
Take off the dress of shame
Leave the window open
Love will find us
Love will come our way
From the inside
From the inside

Below the setting sun
After the shadows come
She waits by the sea
For an answer

From the inside a silent cry
From the inside out of sight
From the inside behind her eyes
From the inside a sad smile

Priests and promises can’t stop the pain
Science and progress can’t stop the change
Love will find us
Love will come our way
From the inside
From the inside
From the inside
From the inside

Dirty Truth

You must think I am so naive
You treat me like I¹m a child
You throw me kisses then curse me
Tell me a mercy lie

My anger rises like the wind
From out of nowhere then it’s gone
Why not just say what you¹re thinking
I wanna know what¹s wrong

Say yes or no
Don¹t tell me maybe so
Show me the proof
Tell me the dirty truth
I want the dirty truth

Do you want me to disappear
Must I forgive and forget
Between the cracks there¹s hunger
It’s all I have left

Say yes or no
Don¹t tell me maybe so
Show me the proof
Tell me the dirty truth
I want the dirty truth

I still believe in peace
Where there’s hope there’s heart
I won’t let you turn me against me
Now that I¹ve come this far

Say yes or no
Don’t tell me maybe so
Show me the proof
Tell me the dirty truth
I want the dirty (truth)

Say yes or no
Don’t tell me maybe so
Show me the proof
Tell me the dirty truth
I want the dirty truth
Tell me the dirty truth
I want the dirty truth

Sweet Spot

I walk alone down midnight streets
Bridges and rivers ancient dreams
I can¹t remember where I¹m from
Sing me the music on your tongue

Time is falling
Heaven is coming
We are in between
The living and the dying
Stars are shining
Love is rising
Here and now
We have found
The Sweet Spot

Bartender bring me something strong and dark
A cloud of doubt is gathering in my heart
If this is wrong why’s it feel so right
I close my eyes and open my mind

Time is falling
Heaven is coming
We are in between
The living and the dying
Stars are shining
Love is rising
Here and now
We have found
The Sweet Spot

There are no words to tell you how
I feel tonight with my defenses down
When this moment fades away
There’ll be a smile where love will stay

Time is falling
Heaven is coming
We are in between
The living and the dying
Stars are shining
Love is rising
Here and now
We have found
The Sweet Spot

Bounty

Marilyn is a princess
In a dream she flies and falls
To endless sleep
Here I am at the threshold
Waiting for time and truth
To unfold

Bounty of beauty
Carry me gently
Show me kindness
Release this loneliness
Bounty of sorrow
Hold me tomorrow
Mirror mirror bring me
Bounty of love

Everyone is a hero
Fighting for life and death
In their own shadow
Without fear of failure
I sacrifice my pride
And surrender

Bounty of beauty
Carry me gently
Show me kindness
Release this loneliness
Bounty of sorrow
Hold me tomorrow
Mirror mirror bring me
Bounty of love

In a world of emotion
I walk on fire
Drink the sweet poison of desire

Bounty of beauty
Carry me gently
Show me kindness
Release this loneliness
Bounty of sorrow
Hold me tomorrow
Mirror mirror bring me
Bounty of love
