Een tekst over de stilte en de schoonheid ervan!
THE BEAUTY OF SILENCE.
The beauty of silence is that it is surrounded by blue
Higher than clouds where nothing gets through
And when we get there it’s only me and you
The beauty of silence is that it is surrounded by green
Higher than tree tops where nothing gets in
And when we get there we’ll find an new begin...you and me

The beauty of silence is that it is endless
The beauty of silence is that there is no time
Endless and yet touchable
Endless and yet reachable
Endless ...for you and me

The beauty of silence is that it is surrounded by white
Higher than snowflakes with its eternal might
And when we get there we’ll find sunlight
The beauty of silence is that it is surrounded by red
Higher than the mountains where you ain’t have been yet
And when we get there all we want is said
And you lay your arms around me
And your kiss upon my cheek and head
And I feel your warming fire
Fall into our deep.....the beauty of you and me

The beauty of silence is that it is endless
The beauty of silence is that there is no time
Endless and yet touchable
Endless and yet reachable
Endless...for you and me

in je gedachten het silhouet tekenen van degene van je wie houdt….
SILHOUETTE
I drew your silhouette on the wall
And I framed it so it couldn’t fall,
With an everlasting breath
And a fingertip so it couldn’t pass away
In the dark shades of the night

I drew your silhouette on the screen,
And coloured it in, red, blue and green
Then varnished it with my smile
A tender lipptouch for a while so I
Can leave it in the light

Stand in the light
Your silhouette as mighty as the sun
Where it all begun
Take out your wings and spread
Them over your darkest silhouette......

I drew your silhouette in the sand
Light touched , when my toe did bend
With an always staying flood
Of feelings that I’ve always got for you
And the truth follows me

I drew you silhouette in the skies
Of blue so it will never die
In the endless memories of mind
We’ve left through the times and where
We can meet in our dreams

Stand in the light
Your silhouette as mighty as the sun
Where it all begun
Take out your wings and spread
Them over our darkest silhouette....

Eens was ik een boom, nu ben ik een blad, dat vliegt….
GRATEFUL ( once I was a tree)
Once I was a tree, now I am a leaf
Flying in the sky
Once I was a tree now I am away
On the clouds and I ride

Once I was a bird, now I am a shade
Following the light
Once I was a bird, now I am away
To where the sun sets and I fly

And I fly, and I fly , and I fly away from you
Will you try, will you try, will you try it too?

Once I was a word, now I am a poem
Of which you cry
Once I was a word, now I am away
In a surrounding music light

Once I was the sea, now I am the rain
Falling on your eyes
Once I was the sea, now I am away
From the clouds and I ride

And I ride, and I ride, and I ride up to the sea
In the light, in the light, in the light will you see me?

Once I was a leaf, now I am a tree
Flying in the sku
Once I was a leaf, I will not be away
Grateful and feeling light
Graceful and being light.

Het gevoel van de storm, een kind van de wind!
CHILD OF THE WIND
Sailing like a cool breeze
On a hot day towards the end
Turning into a dark spot
Destroyed up around the bend
That’s a child of the wind
A child of the wind
Child of the wind
Like it did ever begin

Stormy as the wildest hunt
Into the forest of dreams
As mighty as never before
And as probably never will be
That’s a child of the wind
A child of the wind
Child of the wind
Like it did ever begin

Falling from the edges
Towards an opened side
The light flashed all along
There is nowhere else to hide
That’s a child of the wind
A child of the wind
Child of the wind
Like it did ever begin

Om te vliegen als een vlinder, de vrijheid, het genieten!
A BUTTERFLY SONG
It’s a butterfly song
A tender touch
Carrying the wind on your shoulder
To the places you loved so much

It’s a butterfly flight
Into a flowerish dream
Hearing the tunes of the older
And of the places you have been

It’s a butterfly dawn
Everlasting day
As the world around has told her
To feel the sun in such a way

It’s a butterfly song
A softly hour
Flying to the rainbow before her
Under neath a soft falling shower

It’s a butterfly wish
Close near by
To find someone to hold her
Before she away passes to die

Zo als nooit te voren je voelen zo licht als de lucht maar kan zijn..
AS LIGHT AS AIR
Like never before I feel this way
Riding the shores, morning town day
Carrying a weight as light as air
Into your smile and when I’ m there
Noone to pass and being as light as..........

What it is I can’t explain to you
But more than before I know it’s true
Carrying a weight as light as air
Into your heart and when I’m there
Noone to pass and being as light as..........

I can feel it shine in everything
Knowing it’s mine in your being
Carrying a wieght as light as air
Into your eyes and when I’m there
Noone to pass and being as light as........

Air, being as light as, being as light as, being as light as air
Air, Air, as air

Like never before I feel this way
Riding the dreams, morning town day
Carrying a weight as light as air
Into your life and when I’m there
Noone to pass and being as light as air....air

de hoogste bergen bereik je vanuit de diepste dalen
ONLY FROM THE DEEPEST FALL
Only from the deepest fall
You can reach the highest point
Just out off the deepest valley
You can see the mountain top……
And make the highest climb
From the down getting up, getting up instead of going down

And when the blue gets bluer, the snow gets white
And the air gets thin
You can see what you’ve done, what you have reached
Just standing within
You’ve done it, you’ve done it

Only from the deepest fall
You can reach the highest point
Just out off the deepest valley
You can see the mountain top……
And make the highest climb
From the down getting up, getting up instead of going down

And the sun gets bigger, the clouds come close by
And the cold freezes in
You can see what you have reached, what you have done
Just standing within
You´ve done it, you´ve done it
You´ve reached it

Een dag in het jaar, een jaar en de dagen. Een nieuwjaarsliedje.
A DAY IN A YEAR
A day begins when the morning comes
The red light rushes in
A song of life, another strength
Awakening , a day begins

A day begins when another comes to an end
In the dark the change
A moment alive, another strength
Awakening, a day begins

A day in a year rushes by, too soon it is ending
A day in a year rushes by too soon
A day in a year rushes by too soon

A year begins when the clock arrives
At a moment of change
An hour of fire, another strength
Awakening, a year begins

A year begins when the counter counts
The hours away in time
A break in life, another strength
Awakening, a year begins

A year and its days rushes by, too soon it is ending
A year and its days rushes by too soon
A year and its days rushes by too soon
