Temporary, that’s what they say
Lasting longer, not happening
No way, no way.
Savour while it lasts
Then go about
Go about your day.
Knowing the best has come
Has visited you
Visited you and stayed.
Just a little while
A little while
Today.

Combine all you got
Leave no room regretting not
Challenge the atmosphere
Just to hear the echo flowing back
Full of goodness none deny.
Then add it up
Trust it’s the sum of what you’ve got.

When the time is right and my heart is not cold
When I see things clear from stories told
When madness isn’t a partner in that yet to unfold
When I can stroll thru sadness unscathed and bold.
Then is when my journeys mine
And I’ll hold no grief for that which is not or won’t be kind.

No worries, things will be
Take a deep breath and leave it to destiny.
No worries, things will be
You’ll see.

Summer, summer, summer time
Ah, good food, good friends, good times
Summer, summer, summer time.

There across the table
Opportunity
Stands
Smiling sweetly
He beckons
He commands.

If I need to write
I will write.
If I need to cry
I will cry.
If I need to see why I pray
I’ll find why I need to.

Can’t remember
Where or what I’ve been.
Can’t remember
If I sang a song of happiness
Or something in between.
Can’t remember
Can’t remember anything.

Wondering
Once again.
Wondering
What is best?
Wondering
If I’ll make the right decision.
Wondering
Will it affect the rest?
Wondering
What will come to be?
Wondering
What will happen to me?
– No answers come but still –
Still I’m wondering.
Wondering
Just the same.

Tortured souls hear the pain
Nothing in it, all in vain
Climbing out, out from pain
Crucial not to be flushed
Down the drain.
Melody running in my head
Ponder what I really dread
Muster forth the power said
Rock all that fuels
This in my head.
