One Life

'a healing process
A dialogue between man and nature'

(i) the spirit of nature

... sitting by the water
Holding your hand
Holding my hand this time
Means living a new life
To change your life
To change your mind
And not to turn away from me
I wished we could start anew
So don’t turn away from me

Oh my love, oh my love
This feeling you’re hiding
You steal it away from me
Oh my love, oh my love
Why are you hiding it
Are you hiding it from me?
Don’t you realise
The more you hide it
The more I’m drifting away
Away from you
Can you live your life that way?
I can’t live my life that way
So how can we go on?
We’re living on the edge
Don’t let me go

(ii) the spirit of man

It’s one life, just one life
It’s one life, just one life
One life, one heart, one soul
It's just...

From out of nowhere
A first step into life
The night or the light?
You say it’s wrong
But I see it's right
Growing up to lead a life
A step into night
Or a step into light?
So who am I?
Must I have?
Oh, let me be...

(iii) magic eyes

Remember a time
Any dirt seemed to be gold
And all the bad things
Still stayed in the shadow
And if you nevertheless
Were hunted by bad creatures
Of the night
You ran to find shelter
In your daddy’s arms
You were painting real pictures
You were crying real tears
You were the master of
The secret of banishing fears
You had these magic eyes
You had these magic eyes

...then you changed

Then the tears flew
And they flew out of these eyes
And they left their mark
For innocent eyes are easy meat
In these times
You thought they’ll last on
And on and on...
On and on and on and on and on...

...but as you grew
You let them go

You let go
