Everchild

I woke up to find my body sleeping With the pulse of the grass at naked feet A boy and his balloon Hallelujah voices calling out for me All the stars build a map I'm turning back I've made the road by walking Someone else blew an unheavenly trumpet We felt as if embraced by a spell And had already brought chaos back into paradise Brought the chaos back onto the isle The more I found out of you are the one I'm looking for The less I dare to talk about And brought the chaos back onto the isle You are the only young ones left You'll never grow up So bring in the fact that you like her Her perfectly imperfect home You are the last ones under the sun Lucky ones Brought by the tide Her perfectly imperfect home to find Tell the trees and the flowers spread out on me Growing out of my mouth Growing where once my love prevailed I keep on running To deliver us from grief Reversed the roles Of Adam and his Eve

This is what we are Dreamers in a car Hanging out on the hill Waiting to fulfill Ready to leave tonight Before the rain falls down What could have made you so late It's gonna be alright We're gonna paint the town red What could have made you so late We break out Suddenly there's no fake in my smile We'll break off Running free Damn the way They have control over you Over all your life I know where the jasmine grows We lie in wait You were always dressed with real fleur But all that you need Hides in the belly of the whale What could have made you so late We left signs along the road of modern decay Stopped the rain from falling We know you're gonna find us We break out Hopefully there's no fake in your smile We'll break off running free Damn the way They have control over you Over all your life I know where the jasmine grows Now they got us on the run You are on the run Come up now Push the spiders downhill

She's been quite happy in the sun She would have liked to spend the whole day Swimming in the palm lake of his hands Tallest man Now I need you in devotion Carry me up to the world's Highest mountains From upon your shoulders I will rise Not a day went by without her wish to fly Winter fell upon her, overnight She gave a promise to the living Before her words broke slowly from her lips Tallest man Now I need your feet in motion Carry me up to the world's highest mountains From out of the ashes I will rise She caught a snowflake on her tongue And crossed the line Spread out across the sky and open wide She tried to escape with the sun Even aware of a downfall her flight goes on Her flight goes on

You planted my mind with a lie Dry my eyes Before we're gonna try to sleep Could you leave the door halfway open Mummy, let your broken heart go Leave the staircase lighting on To not fear the gloominess in my room I fade into an image of my mind An unfamiliar garden Overgrown by the voices Of your game, just the same I've done my little bedtime prayer Hoping that your thoughts are on me Let me think that we are not alone May the angel at hand That we've made out of clay Let all the black winged, Illusive creatures and monsters Be anywhere far away from home Claw marks underneath my bed Don't you see Paralysed I know it is in silence waiting Don't you see As long as we hide under blankets It can't make us out in the dark So I do not move I'm wide awake Daddy fights the monster Walking up and down the hall Calling my name The monster, it is more than just a fable Told to frighten us

We talk in codes Since caught in a trap Will they now force on us their plan I see no other way but to congregate Will they now force on us their plan They tie the knots to hang us from the trees Lay tarot cards with tainted hands Don't try to figure out of what nature we are Will they now carry out their plan We should endeavor to escape Hide or run away Tonight I'll make it up to you Brave enough to bite the hand that feeds I will untie you from the trees Better come with me The flood has taken shape without a warning How little do they know How less what we may be Escape now I alone brought evidence That could explain how peaceful we really are And always have been I let them see how we should have lived How we should have lived We should endeavour to escape Hide or run away Tonight I'll make it up to you Brave enough to bite the hand that feeds There is a place beyond their reach An ark for those in need Of many different origins Born out of the nothing but the wish to love You ride a wave against the wrong Knowing we are strong We finally mutated into angels Tried to break the flood down into tears And found fear

Time runs like a river We're folding paper boats Run run ever Swim against the flow Just let us go where the river is made to arise from Where soft green grass spread like a carpet to my feet I would not have been left upset Spent to much time trying to find ambivalence May we have burnt brightly enough To maybe turn into a child Waiting to become While all around the coming grows People run in circles Like heaven's planetary eyes Just look around I remember the scent of magnolias The fountain water that we drank in infancy Every burden falls from mine eyes Out of my mind Sliding into oblivion May we have burnt brightly enough To turn into a child again Waiting to become While all around the coming grows People run in circles Like heaven's planetary eyes Waiting for the sun To break out from between the clouds I know that we've been here And maybe even many times

Ramshackle house Home of the longing Ark for the brave Isolated hideaway Call out for love Voice of the angry Your burden engraved Deep into the melody Harlequin boy Schoolyard pariah Smells like routine Sketches bled out of your pen A sunbeam fell onto the laughing Domesticating the wild Drill me your love and teach me a lesson Trapped in a box The scared child A sunbeam fell into the classroom Broke off a biology mess The dead birds flew out of the window Brought back the songs of gladness Run, forsaken child Get out of what was shelter And maybe we fall In love with the days bygone He made us more and more complete I call him a friend Since first we drank from his fountain rain We drank when we were just young boys A sunbeam fell into the church room Verses on Palm Sunday read And all the girls felt pretty unfinished Crowned by the gold on their heads A loud sound left holes in the dwelling Knowing that you had enough And I remained inflamed by a fire A song that entertained us Run, forsaken child Get out of what was shelter Run, your old guitar will always be in my hands ... I cannot let you fall You painted faces on our heads You are the echo of my youth

Oh, this pleasure of getting lost Keep an eye on the child turning somersaults On the skyline of infinity Gravity – defying High up in the sky Embrace my creative flow Lift me off the ground I am flying I am the everchild

I take a deep breath for one more flap Put flight into my torn wings That I may once more reach the sun Catch fire Burn up Fall to pieces As rain my traces vanish into the sea Into uncertainty Reborn on a cloud Dissolved in water Coloured by an unfulfilled dream I've heard the stories of forgotten shores I've heard the stories of a million Will you tell me yours Wherever you are I will bleed for all we've shared And even if it is too cold for a swim And the siren calls of wrong way directions I'll cross the ocean Be aware by the strength Of a young hearted Wherever you are I will bleed for all we've shared A hundred years in silence I dwelt upon the isle I will find you

There's a man with a tree - shaped shadow Painting by the sea From his eyes My own face looks back at me As a child See his branches draw a skyline Like human hands His arms outstretched Lay open his ornaments Wait for the morning rain See his branches draw a skyline Like human hands See the colours of his lifetime Around him blend This is the morning rain Red balloon I am falling out From the corner of his eye Guide my mind Slow me enough that I can land safely See his branches draw a skyline Like human hands His arms outstretched Uncover his open chest Here in the morning rain See his branches know That he loves her Now as when a boy On a canvas never ending They draw him joy Here in the morning rain Maybe drinking is not the only cure To find some rest The music praise To flower and then collapse Here in the morning rain He's been dragging on To find peace among those metropolised When the night turns into day Renew my friend Bliss is the morning rain I am not to know how much a heart can take Not to prove that you won't fake heart ache I am but to maybe let the fallen find forgiveness I need you to glorify That there's a loophole in our dreams at night For you and me By the sea When all our wounds bleed on In pure silence I am not to know of what befell my mind Not to know a better place than this Bliss it is to know my daughter to arrive I woke up to find my body Sleeping in the arms of familiar embrace Here I belong Place a kiss Raise a smile A slightest touch To cause a chain reaction Come on, little giant Let's break the silence Come on, little giant Pillow fight
