ABOVE ALL:
Feel like breaking the rules, walk out that door, and get you to think about me.
Feel like getting drunk, listen to my soul, and maybe feel happy.
I wish I could smile, and quit thinking for a while.
Wish I would not have to wake up, from my favourite dreams.
And I bloody well wish you would pick up that phone...for me.
But above all, I wish to sit back and recall.
Feel like cutting loose, breaking away out of this boring place.
Feel like striking a match on a river bed.
Wish I could gently scream, while you listen carefully.
Wish I knew that you knew, and I lived by the sea...
I could never come back.
And I wish all farewells were nothing but good.
But above all I wish
But above all I wish I could look at myself and say “Hello”
Feel like being blown away from here so softly.
Sooth this troubling feeling and have you start telling the truth.
Wish at the end of the song we could just drop a B.
And walked out of here to have a drink with good old Peter P.
Feel like holding your hand and never let go ...
Feel like wishing you all thought that I wasn´t so strange.
When I say that I wish... I wish I could sleep with the moon.
When I say that I wish I could get back into your room... (again)
If only a slight breeze pushed that door wide open for me...
But above all... I wish
But above all... I wish
But above all... I wish I would not wish anything... at all...

SILVER MOON:
Hi there Queen, how do you do?
What´s your favourite colour? Guess not blue, or is it too?
Hello Pearl, how´ve you been? Heard something about
the pawns and kings,
or maybe queens?
Silver moon, magic tune simple yet unreal
Mountains up, mountains down
Here we go again, now can you feel?
We meet again, my new born friend
Let me take you if I may then won´t you stay?
Tell me then, what´s your dream?
Even if I can´t make head or tails, out of it.
Silver moon, a magic tune
Sketches full of life
Sing and play, useless games
Why don´t we go all the way?
Coloured bow, evening glow
Droplets fall but we don´t mind at all
Pray for me...
So where to now? My precious lass
Let us wake up, let us touch the ground
´cause they´re only dreams
Silver moon, silver spoons,
Children listen to this golden tune.
Time´s been lost, lost and gone
Tell me ´bout that colour, was it blue?

TEACHER:
Please teacher, please sing me a song
Kid said, eyes shining like mine long ago.
Sat down to see you your chocolate smeared face
your stained little hands shyly pleading for help.
Without even knowing I sang you a song
song I´d forgotten yet the first real one.
Cause after all we are
not so different you and I
We fear the same things,
We get tired of being angry all the time.
I told you that I too was once 9 years old,
had 800 dreams and ate candy a lot.
´Cause no one is yesterday
and tomorrow never comes
And I love that you question
all that you hear
´cause it makes me feel good
so much alive...
We both like to dance and run up the stairs
Like to reach for the Moon and swallow the Sun.
I told about the Emerald City
that truly exits
down that yellow brick road
Said that I too
tried butterfly dust (could you fly...)
Please teacher please won´t you play with me too
The games that we loved guessing clouds in the sky,
Please teacher please tell us about
those moments in silence...
The good ones that tasted...
So sweet... and so fine.

WHITE NOT BLUE:
I said left, but you go right
Misunderstandings all the time,
So indeed, is this what you need?
How many more lines?
Don´t you wish to end the War?
Settle down, have a rest
What´s the use in going on
with this silly fight?
You went up while I came down
And ever since we´re just going round
Round in circles, one more time
How many more lines?
Don´t you wish to end the War?
What´s the use? Settle down
What´s the use of going on pretending?
You read white, but I wrote blue
Now I guess there ain´t much I can do
Just let these feelings go away
Tell them to find somewhere else
They can stay.
Don´t you wish to end the fight?
What´s the use in going on?
Can´t you see that I´m tired
Of pretending...
Pretending there ain´t nothing wrong.

DOWN THE ROAD:
Old man cried: “I need more time”
Young girl cannot wait for that
But they´ll all meet down the road
Yes they´ll all meet down the road.
It´s ticking by, it´s ticking...why?
He thinks about his Past
When the time it seemed to last
When his mind was right on track.
The Girl won´t buy the stories told
She cannot stand to be on hold
´cause she needs to see right now
What´s waiting down the road.
The old man tries to make his Plea
To God´s he couldn´t see
When he was so young and smart
When he jumped right on the road.
Speed to us is a gift and not a drag
Time should tell if we learnt the lessons well,
And so it goes that we grew up to be strong
But time shall tell if we really grew up well.
Old clock chimes, the hours fly
Babies cry as time says: “bye”
´cause it´s waiting down the road,
Yes it´s calling for them to go...
