The Sky Is Not The Limit

Walk among the stars and clouds,
Planets, asteroids around,
Jump from ring to ring, remember where you've been.
A hundred billion miles to Taurus,
Orion's Belt, the Southern Star,
A blink into the Milky Way and back.
There is no need to go to space,
To build a rocket ship and play,
Dreaming as a child who wants to be an astronaut.
All you have to do is pray,
Pray to your own inner place,
Where you can find your own god.
And all you do is shine,
And all you do is shine,
Shine, shine, shine,
Above the constellations and beyond.
A little forest in the mud,
Watery floor and moody clouds,
Watch your steps and crawl not to sink in quicksand.
It is the time to make a vow
The sky is not the limit now,
So let me play the game and take my hand.
And all we do is shine,
And all we do is shine,
Shine, shine, shine,
And breath the universe,
Because the sky is not the limit
Because the sky is not the limit
Because the sky is where you live your dreams,
And let them grow above the constellations and beyond.
Wooah, the sky is not the limit.
Wooah, the sky is not the limit.

Mindblow,
It's what hides behind your fears and tears.
Mindblow,
It's what makes you not disappear.
I'm not scared of being scared..
I'm not scared of being scared..
I'm not scared of being aware of all my doubts and pains,
I'm not scared to live without knowing what's coming next,
Because I'll make it rain,
Until I dry my veins,
Because I'm not so scared to fly.
I'm not scared to face my end if I give all I’ve got,
I’m not scared to act like those who fought for a chance,
Because they held the flame,
They stood against the shame,
And that’s why I’m not so scared to dive.
The fight is not a simple thought,
You'll suffer night and day with your own ghosts,
But there’s no light without dark,
Embrace what you are.
I am scared of falling down,
So many times more than I can count,
Of tigers, lions coming after me,
But I am not done yet, just watch me rise.
Just watch me rise.
Because to rule the world,
You must know and rule your world,
And let it grow until it blows!

Man From Nowhere

It’s like them, they never found their place,
It’s like them, they've always been scared,
And people passing by,
We get to see the misery when looking through their eyes,
Through their sad eyes.
They put their lives over their shoulders one more time,
It’s not a metaphor, a bag is all they have,
Can we deny the world and all its greed?
It has made them bleed,
Took everything they’ve been, so..
Man from nowhere, stand up to be heard,
There’s no better world if we don’t really care.
Stay alive, hold on tight,
Let’s fight fate for a better chance.
You feel like there is a bomb inside of you,
But you wish explosions never ever were true,
The fear goes high, the pain, the cry,
And no one cares about them anymore, my dearest friend,
While they're on the ground.
They may have lost all their belongings,
They may have lost what they called home,
They can’t even find a way to get back everything they’ve lost?
But when the terror rises in their hearts, there's still a light
We can make it shine,
If we find strength inside, ooh
Man from nowhere, cry loud to be heard,
There’s no better world if we don’t really care,
Stand up tall, never fall,
Let’s all fight for a better chance,
A better chance.
We can all find a better chance,
A better world,
For everyone, for each of us.
So come on, men from nowhere, take my hand
One for all and all for one,
Raise your voice with pride,
Believe in each other side
And you, you will have nothing more to prove,
You'll never be the one to lose,
'Cause we are all the same.
We'll find a better place to live in harmony.

Who Said Love Was Easy?
04:42
|
|||
|
I was trying not to drown
In the sea of all my grief,
I was trying not to burn
In the fire of my sin,
And I’ll try not to break, not to sink.
All the words that we said,
All the silly things I did,
All the streets where we laid,
In the corners of my dreams,
But it’s all made of castles in the sand,
‘Cause it’s you who I care for, where are you?
I was trying not to fall
For the feelings locked inside,
But the time, it was real,
And it was your turn to dream,
But you’re not ready now, don’t feel mean.
‘Cause you’re not ready now, I’ll be here.
But who said love, love was easy?
Who said love was so kind?
Who said “No, it’s too risky”?
Who said love was not a crime?
But it won’t mean a thing
If my heaven wouldn’t cry,
But who said ti is not worth it trying to fight?
You are there, I do care,
With those shining lovely eyes,
In your heart I can see,
Feelings trying out to cry.
But the walls of your mind may rise up,
And you will be able to throw those walls down.
Because love is not easy,
Because love is not so kind,
Because love is too risky,
Because love’s much of a crime.
But it will mean something,
If we cross this land alive,
We will laugh against our fate ‘cause we survived.
Woo-ooh!
Woo-ooh!
But it will mean something
If this waiting makes me cry,
So who’ll say it is not worth it trying to fight!
And I still won’t let you break down, don't give up,
I won’t let you down but try make you smile!

ZAKK London, UK
