LYRICS:
I WILL NOT LOSE
words & music: Cassis Birgit Staudt

Dear future
Can you promise me an imperfect picture
A blurry world without a frame
Where you all treat the same
Don't lose this note
And assure there's no more hell but hope

I will not Lose
They will not Win

Dear dreams
You can carry me through darkness it seems
Keep the bubbles in the air
And assure all is fair
Don't let them pop
With your help I reach each mountaintop

I will not Lose
They will not Win

I Will Not Lose

Cassis B wrote the song for the award winning documentary 'Gods of Molenbeek'. Synopsis: The Molenbeek district of Brussels. In media seen as jihadi capital but home sweet home to the 6 year-old boys Aatos and Amine. Together they search for answers to the big questions. Aaatos envies Amine’s Muslim faith and looks for his own gods, although his classmate Flo questions him; she is strongly convinced that anyone who believes in God is completely nuts.

ANS MEER
words & music: Cassis Birgit Staudt

Kneif mich ich traeum ich sitz im Sonderzug aus Leipzig
Die Welt hat heut kein Ende mehr
Ich mache frei mal so

Und das Gras ist gruener
Der Himmel blauer
Ich fahr ans Meer
Die Sonne gelber
Die Wolken weisser
Ich liebe es sehr

Keiner haelt mich heut auf
Ich laechle mich durch Grenzen
Dass es nie wieder so dunkel wird
Kann ich hell sehen

Und das Gras ist gruener
Der Himmel blauer
Ich fahr ans Meer
Die Sonne gelber
Die Wolken weisser
Ich liebe es sehr
