The Dreamer
There´s a guy who likes the sun
Who likes the birds and the wind
Often he sits there lonely
Reflecting on God and the world
People often call him crazy
Call him foolish
Call him mad
They say he thinks too much
And anyway they´re right
And they are wrong
He makes himself life hard.

Made In Heaven
One day you will meet
That unique person
Again
And you will realize
That you already know
Each other
Your love was built years before
A life before
Lost in death
The other reborn like you
To find each other again
Down here on earth
You met before and loved
In heaven
Died on earth
Reborn
Searched
And found
Your unique Love
Made In Heaven

Bumping Heart
My back up against the wall
My heart still bumping in these hands
Remembers me to the film of Indiana Jones
Heart ripped out of the body
But now it´s my body
My strong body –
Now week and back up against the wall
My heart in these hands
Blood dripping down
My heart bumps –
Still some seconds to go
Then no more movement
It´s over
I slip down the wall
The last I saw was these hands
Holding my heart
Dripping blood
And her smiling face
Over

For The Beauty Of Your Eyes
Millions lost their honeys
Millions lost their great love
Millions cried for that loneliness in their beds
Millions thought of killing themselves for that
Millions were told life goes on
Millions got no second chance
Millions were so sad to lose their faith in God
Millions, millions, millions
But “mince”
I´m alone and I don´t care
It is ME who lives this fucking life
Millions, millions, millions
But we are all alone with our little lives
No cure, no medicine
Only time who will stop your bleeding
If you are lucky
Millions bleed for the rest of their little lives
I bleed for the beauty of your eyes!

The One I Love
A poem to the one I love
A poem of hope and fury
A sign of fire in the dark
It goes round and round
No one there to stop its turn
No one there to kill the light
The world is dark
But I got a light
That never goes out
Not now
Not now
It will never burn down
Only the distance makes me
Feel so lonely
But my thoughts go hundreds of miles
To search the one I love
To imagine her smile
To see her body
In the light of a full moon
Somewhere in the snow.

The Little Prince
The little prince
Coming down to earth
Somewhere in the dark
No whisper, no spark
Recognizes nothing worth.
He cannot wait the world
Waking up to see him
Shaking his little head
Throwing his view onto the sea
Listen to his face laughing
Look to his heart,
It´s not dead.
Yes, you can believe me
He´s someone special.
A heart full of poems,
A soul full of yearnings,
But nothing of his dreams
Is to become real.
Only lighten gems
Followed by worthless things,
There is only one person to love
It seems.

You Can Choose
You can choose
Imagine
On the one hand
There is this situation
That you have a real real love
And you are loved, too
By your adored person
What a wonderful life
And when all is perfect
And your love is so pure
Then this adored person dies
Dead and exists no more
Here on earth
Imagine the other situation
You love a person like never before
And you are loved, too
By your adored person
What a wonderful life
And when all is perfect
And your love is so pure
Then this adored person
Ends the relationship
And goes away – from you
Forever
Dead and exists no more
For you!
For others always and every day there
Dead only for you!
You can choose your situation
What would you choose?

Finally We Got It
´90, ´74, ´54
And nothing more
God knows we tried it
All that we had
God knows what we gave
In these times of brave
Germany –
We tried a new mix
Here at home –
But finally no winning
New plans, new structure, a new generation
But no experience and no situation
In an open German country
We celebrated a party
Here with the whole world
We got back our proud
Austria –
We still had to wait
A better Spain
We still too young to win
South Africa –
Müller suspended
Style great, young and offensive
But not cool enough
Poland –
We beat ourself
With wrong Italy tactic
Löw made fans fall sick
God knows we tried it again and again
God knows we deserved it since years
The fans thought their dreams no one hears
But then… but then…
Brazil –
We found a real team
We found all the talents
With friendship and tactics
We wanted it so deep!
And had harmony you need
Thousands are in Brazil
Be near the dream to feel
80 millions with you at home
And thousands in the stadium
Glorious 7:1 in semi finals
And breaking so many old records
Our 16 goals top scorer star
1st Europeans winning ever in America
Such a great and fair playing team
Friendship, trust and harmony
And a goalie like a wall
In the end it fitted all
We got one more
Our new star four
Finally… Finally… we got our call
The new World Champion of Football!
Finally… Finally…
Finally we got it!
Finally… Finally…
Finally we got it!
