MIRACLE
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

I was walking through a misty day, the sky was cold and grey
An old man came right up to me and said, "I know your name."
He said he'd like to talk to me only for awhile
I had no plans, so I said OK, and he started with a sigh and said:
"I've seen a million years pass right away.
I've seen the gods of yesterday, they're old and grey.
If you will fail, there's only one more way."
What we need right now, is a miracle on earth
Let our hearts cry out, so our voices can be heard
Let us walk away together, from the never ending rain
'Til the sun will shine for all of us again.
He said all life he'd been searchin' for a way to find the clue
That love will turn the fear to hope, skies of grey to blue.
"Let the miracle come true my friend", this is what he said
"Let's give ourselves a second chance for another lap in the race.
"And then a million stars will shine to light our way.
And all the trears from yesterday, ... forever washed away."
What we need right now, is a miracle on earth
Let our hearts cry out, so our voices can be heard
Let us walk away together, from the never ending rain
'Til the sun will shine for all of us again.
Take my hand and you will see the mirror of your destiny
So many came to read the signs, to understand their meaning
Now I see I do not dare, but something's calling me
So many men cannot bread free, the one who will succeed,
I wonder if it's me
What we need right now, is a miracle on earth
Let our hearts cry out, so our voices can be heard
Let us walk away together, from the never ending rain
'Til the sun will shine for all of us again.
It's a miracle we need
Let hearts unite, so our voices shake the earth
Let us walk away together from the never ending rain
'Til the sun will shine for all of us again
We need a miracle, a miracle, a miracle on earth
Let our hearts cry out for the miracle
Let the stars shine on
For the miracle, the miracle on earth
Our hearts, our hearts shall unite for the miracle
 
 
 
 

FAREWELL
Music: Schlachter/Lyrics: Schlachter

Do you remember
How we used to play like kids in the sun
Nowadays, there's no light to see
And we're feeling cold
So the time has come
To say farewell my friends
My fate is calling loud
Now I know - it can get tough
And I don't you know where I'll be tomorrow
Do you - do you wanna know it
I don't care about it
Somebody said that we could never ever die
Oh what a lie
You will see the light again
We'll all be free someday:
I know - 'cause united we stand
Goodbye my friends, I'm leaving you today
My quest is hard, but I must be on my way
Now, don't ask why
Goodbye dear friends
Solo: Dirk
Don't you try and stop me
All I know is: I have to go!
There'll be no sense in my life at all
If I stay
You will never see it - you will never find it
Oh yes I will!
Someone will take my place if I DIE!
An old man said:
Some years ago; they've tried it all before
Some men of honour left
And searched for that land
They did not return. Now it's up to you
To play a better game - remember
When you're out there
Don't look back at all
Goodbye my friends, I'm leaving you today
The quest is hard,
I hope I'll find a way home one day
Goodbye my friends, I'm leaving you today
The quest is hard
I know I find a way home one day
You will see the light of day
We'll all be free again
All that's left to say is FAREWELL
 
 
 
 

THE SILENCE
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

When you're drowning, when you're freezin', when you're feeling cold
There's a light in the darkness as the elder always told.
When the winter's coming closer and the autumn's passing by,
Then the world will sink in silence and I think we all should try.
Oh, I wanna live my life in a fairy tale
Where the end is always good and never sad.
Show me the way to another world
Where the sun is always shining in the end.
And we fight back the tears, and we lose our fears.
Let the world remain in silence for a while.
Sun in our minds in a world full of ice,
Let the silence remain for a little while.
Somebody came and slammed the door took the feelin' away from our hearts;
And the horror took hold of a place in our hearts filled with love.
What is left behind the ice, behind the make up and the lies
Tell me what goes on inside our minds.
There is a hole in our sky, getting bigger growing wide
No more answer but we hold the line - - uh, yeah - - -
See and hear what we have done to us all, we wanna be free more than anything,
Do you hear what I say to you?
We will make it through, the sun shall shine.
Hear the words we say and see the light of day
We never will be free until the sun is shining for us all
Carry on, carry on and make our dreams come true
And for a little while we stay together.
Carry on, carry on, may all our lovin'stay
And for a little while we stay together forever,
Together, forever.
 
 
 
 

A WHILE IN DREAMLAND
Music: Schlachter/Lyrics: Hansen

I don't mind
I don't mind at all
I don't mind to dream a while
I don't mind at all
Every night I'm only waiting,
For the bird of dreams in me
Take me on your wings and guide me
Just take me on a journey far away
I don't mind to fly away to dreamland
The easy way out of a world so cold
I don't mind to say goodbye to all I see around
Only for a while
Out in the dreamworld there's a fortune
It's only waiting to be found
I gaze around and I think this must be magic
'Cause there's no limit all around
I don't mind to stay a while in dreamland
So come on now and take me up with you
If together we would fly for all eternity
I would not refuse
I had it all, I wouldn't mind my friend
To say goodbye, I'm feeling free
To stay or leave is just an easy case
Your wings will always comfort me
I don't mind to stay a while in dreamland
A place to leave my sorrows far behind
Together we will fly through Heaven and through Hell
To no man's land, no man's world
Together we will fly for all eternity
Only you and me
Only you and me
On our way to our land of the free...
