Find Your Way Back

Hey, tell me
What is making you feel sad?
Take a breath in, take one out
You will find yourself
Why, tell me
Do you have to make it bad?
If you look more carefully,
You will find your gems
Your house is burnt - don’t you understand?
(You don’t really understand)
Every rock is broken down to sand
(You should really understand)
Don’t you know you’ve got to find your
Way back to your land
Hey, help me
To find my way to paradise
I’m big with charity
Well it doesn’t help
Why, tell me
When I go for ecstasy
I’m met with tragedy
Yeah it doesn’t help
(chorus)
(middle eight, flute solo)

[Jesper]
They say it’s better since the day that changed
They say it’s better ‘cuz we’re all the same
Even though that is so
I just couldn’t let it go
[Winston]
Should I tell her I miss her very much?
Should I tell her although we are not the same
I just love to feel this way
Who’s to tell me what to say?
No one’s living at the present
So why should I? x2
[Winston]
The tough gets going when the going’s tough
But you play rough and you’ll always have your way
You will tell us that’s your love
I just couldn’t feel the same
[Jesper]
Does it matter that she’s leaving me?
Does it matter I’ve been left behind?
Even though that is so
Why should I even care?
No one’s living at the present
So why should I? x2
(middle eight)
No one’s living at the present
So why should I? x2

Maybe We Can Change

Sunshine I see every day
Rainy days can make my day
I never cease to be amazed
But here I am I lock myself
Deep in concrete jungle day by day
Don’t you think it’s such a waste?
So long
Say goodbye to the frogs and trees
Little creatures on the magazines
So long
Say ta-ra to the birds and bees
Maybe we can change
Laziness, complacency
Everything does, people never change
Don’t you think it’s far too late?
Our lives are lived on future ones
I know it’s cruel but can it be undone?
All our children on the run
So long
Say goodbye to the frogs and trees
Little creatures on the magazines
So long
Say ta-ra to the birds and bees
Maybe we can change
Hold on
Say good day to the frogs and trees
Little creatures on the magazines
Hold on
Say good day to the birds and bees
Maybe we can change…

Floating City is Sinking

We can never learn
Until the time is told
It's far too late to regret
With the moaning trolled
We can never see
Through the end of time
It's easy to be wise
After the roll of dice
We have had enough
All we need is love
And nothing more
This is a low
A deep depression with
An unsung code
We always think
Think we would be better off
If we could keep the things that we have lost
We always fail
Fail to hold on the happiness
We now have
Only chasing what we used to have
There is no turning back
Once it's changed, it's changed
Once it's done, it's done
I want to pretend
Pretend nothing has happened
As if we were friends
Like what we used to be
Like what we used to be
Like what we used to

Many years of trying hard to follow
And your brilliant soul just met with disapproval
Hold on to your heart
Don’t let it go to waste
Forgotten in your pillow
They hate you most for daring not to swallow
Their pills of truth for all the rubber souls
Go on, straight from your heart
Don’t let it go astray
Show me your words of love
When you take me home
When you let me see
When you let me know
I feel something takes the hate out of my bones
There’s nothing wrong you’re sticking by your old ways
Cuz on the double-decker bus you lost your taste
Hold on to your heart
Don’t let it go to waste
Show me your words of love
When you take me home
When you let me see
When you let me know
I feel something takes the hate out of my bones

Many lose their souls
Looking for pleasure but we’re told
The more you get the more you want
It’s bound to disappoint
Many angry minds
Trying to change the world around
Before you put your blame around
You needn’t look afar
All in your mind
This light inside
Will never die
Ha…
Many claim to know
More than the things they really know
I have no clue how much I know
Or how much I can know
All in your mind
This light inside
Will never die
Ha…
All in your mind
This light inside
Will never die
Ha…
