A Promise

A Promise

Some days are better than others

But I'll try to be of good cheer
For God has made me a promise
He will be there when I am in need

God always keeps His promise
And that is the solemn truth
He did reached out for me
At that time when no one could

I am not always that cheery
I sometimes lose track of my goal
When the load gets much too heavy
Life turns into a big black hole

But there is that tap on my shoulder
A voice that says here I am
I will take away your burden
So you will get some air again

De Grens

(Voor Lesly)

De Grens

De meteorologische herfst is begonnen
De wind giert over het hollandse land
Donkere wolken pakken zich samen
Donder en bliksem gaan genadeloos hun gang

Striemend slaan wind en regen tegen de ramen
Och, menig arm mens
Die zich hierdoor een weg probeert te banen
De herfst wordt daarom vaak verwensd

Maar je zou er ook van kunnen genieten
Beukenootjes zoeken in het park
Kijk naar de roodgele bladeren der bomen
Ga eens lekker uitwaaien aan een waterplas

Ieder jaargetijde heeft zo zijn charme
Zoals in het leven van de mens
Wisselen de perioden elkaar af
Elke fase kent zijn eigen grens

Een Molensteen

Een Molensteen

Een molensteen, een molensteen
Hangt dagelijks om mijn nek
Bij elke stap, die ik wil nemen
Houdt het me voortdurend tegen

Een molensteen, een molensteen
Hangt dagelijks om mijn nek
Het beknot me in mijn vrijheid
En onderdrukt mijn persoonlijkheid

Een molensteen, een molensteen
Hangt dagelijks om mijn nek
Laat het deurtje maar open
En het vogeltje is gevlogen

De molensteen, de molensteen
Hangt niet meer om mijn nek
Het verstikkend gevoel ben ik nu kwijt
Eindelijk ben ik als een vogel zo vrij

Unfair

Unfair

They say, if we look at the stars
We are able to see the past
But what if we analyse the coming day
Should it influence the way we behave

If we study the world right now
It is so sad, that we cannot turn
It into this idyllic place
Where humanity feels entirely safe

By distroying this world
And don't learn from the mistakes
Why exploring the universe
If we cannot take care of this issue first

Pure Consciousness

Pure Consciousness

There is no heaven scientists say
It is just the serotonin in the brain
To make you feel calm and at ease
So you may pass away in peace

But there must be more out there
Paradise, Nirvana, Shangri-La
Already given so many names
So it cannot only exist in the brain

It has to be a wonderful place
With only brilliant light of day
You don’t have to be afraid
Death is just the transition way

It is an existence of another kind
A pure consciousness of mind
A state long before birth
Prior to your coming to earth

The Good Lord

The Good Lord

You are the Alpha and the Omega
You are the Light on my path
You give me guidance
When I am wandering in the dark

You are always with me
In good times and in bad
You are there, when I am happy
You comfort me, when I am sad

Even in my darkest hour
You are near to hold my hand
You provide me with power
You are the footsteps in the sand

They are wondering, why I keep so steady
Then I tell them about You
About the trust, the comfort, and the shelter
And about each time You pull me through

In Remembrance

In Remembrance


I saw the Michael Jackson memorial service today
The stories told by his family and friends
Taught me to see him in an entirely different way
Not at all the weird man as described by the press

Called a Wacko Jacko or a Peter Pan
He seemed by plastic surgery obsessed
Also supposed to be rather white than black
That was the public image he had

But in private he was a totally different one
He liked to make jokes and enjoyed to have fun
A generous and caring person
Who loved to entertain and to perform


He was a perfectionist in his music and dance
His children love him as the very best dad
He will be missed by his family, friends and
fans
The world lost the best performer it ever had
