Oh, how can it be you’ve stopped / to make the best out of your life? / It’s only you who might decipher / what this wonder could be like! / Yet you’ve chosen to surrender / to the devils of your past: / For you didn’t dare to stand them / –now they’ve taken all your best
.
And I can’t help but be raging / when you speak of ‘let it be’ / For you’re just not even trying / to find out what makes you breath! / Oh, there’s so much you’ve been given / and you hardly work it out / No, instead you’ve found the short way / to head straight at ‘down and out’
.
God knows that you’re so clever / and you may not have your like / If it comes down to your investment / in the project of your life / For you’re devoted to the science / that has caught you years ago / Keeps you working at the fringes / of a world you’ve never known
.
And I know you say you’re happy / with what you’ve come to do each day / But believe me it’s a fragment / of what is possible today! / If you only would endeavour, / dare to open up your heart / To listen to that little voice / and make a brand new start..
.
This world is full of chances / for all who dare to dream / For all who keep their faith alive / and follow up the stream / To the source of all creation, / love, compassion and delight / Of the One who’s long forgiven us / and who’s blessed grace is light
.
Do you really wish to drown / in a sea of work at last? / If you won’t learn how to swim / then your efforts just won’t last! / Know you simply have to reach out / and address the pain inside / Where you’ve hidden it behind / a wall of memories you fight
.
Oh, you’re so afraid to see / what you’re denying all the time / But if only you’d accept it, well / you’ll see that you’ll be fine; / That those devils were the perils / which you needed to withstand / To grow and sow the seeds of love / so your heart could make a mend
.
But you’re faced with what you pushed away, / what you didn’t want to feel / Now in me you’ve found a mirror / that just can’t and won’t conceal / What is written in your lonely eyes, / what I sense within your soul / And I promise not to let you go, before it’s clear you know!
.
To me you are a friend / I long have hoped to come across / To me you are so dear / that I hate to see you lost / In the alleys of your mind / where you’re mislead by what you think / Is the ‘blessing of the reason’ / –but which destroys the love within.
.
So open up.. and start to LIVE.
