Serendipity, serendipity
Serendipity, serendipity

Through the valley of chance
Whispers of fate, guiding our hearts
Guiding our hearts as we ascend
Through the ebb and flow of time
In the labyrinth of our lives
Echoes of dreams guiding our steps
(Guiding our steps)

Serendipity, serendipity

Trying to step as we dance
Ways converging where dreams lead us
A mixing of chance, luck, and fortunes
(Luck and fortunes)

Gentle breeze of destiny
Gentle breeze of destiny
Serendipity, serendipity

In the quiet of the night
We walk alone through the unknown
Through all the ways where life drives us
(where life drives us)

Gentle breeze of destiny
Gentle breeze of destiny
Serendipity, serendipity
Gentle breeze of destiny
Serendipity, serendipity
(Repeat)

Serendipity

Once in a blue moon
The stars align
Everything feels true
Our hearts beat in sync
And magic fills the room

Fade into the night
Under the pale, distant blue moon
The silence can’t break
This moment of balance

Time stands still
In the glow of the moon
Blue Moon
Lovely Blue Moon

Whispers in the air
Our minds speak louder than the stars
Blue Moon holds the silence
No need for words to guide us

You burn so bright tonight
Under your glow, we are weightless
Only love can flow
The moonlight steals the show

Time stands still
In the glow of the moon
Blue Moon
Lovely Blue Moon

Time stands still
Blue Moon

Time stands still
In the glow of the moon
Blue Moon
Lovely Blue Moon

Time stands still

Blue Moon

Bill the Blob is feeling alone
Nobody seems to notice his presence
So lost and small, no friends at all
In the big city, it’s hard to find your place
(Bill the Blob feels alone) x2

Bill the Blob is not that tall
Rolling slow with no real aim
Winter, spring, summer or fall
Every day it feels the same
(Bill the Blob feels alone) x2

Then a day Bill the Blob fell in love
When he saw a Lady Blob so gorgeous (So gorgeous)
This day Bill the Blob fell in love
(Lady Blob fell in love too)
Time seems to stand still when you fall in love
(Time stands still when you fall in love)

Bill and Lady jelly hearts melted
They spin in circles, chasing their dreams
Together they wiggle and glide
Through the big city, side by side
(The two blobs are in love) x2

The day Lady Blob stole his heart
(Stole his heart) x3
She was so gorgeous (So gorgeous)
This day Bill the Blob fell in love
(Lady Blob fell in love too)
He fell in love
(Her heart was melting too)
Time seems to stand still when you fall in love
(Time stands still when you fall in love)
This great day Bill the Blob fell in love
When he saw his Lady Blob so gorgeous (So gorgeous)
This day Bill the Blob fell in love
(Lady Blob fell in love too)

Bill the Blob

My quest for peace is surely useless
But no one can tell me or show me
The scars of earth, the cries of men
Repeat their tale again, and again
The ones who dream, find their voices drown, drown

While tyrants burn the world to the ground
The rivers bleed, the skies turn gray
While despots tear the world apart
The winds grow cold, the shadows start
The ones who dream, their silent warnings fade away

I long to express my quest for peace

It's quite utopian, quite utopian
But only dreamers can forge the change in this world
But only dreamers can bring new light to the storm
We need dreamers, many more dreamers, many more

A chosen few with hearts of stone
Turn dreams to dust, leave hope alone
A million voices, strong and clear
Could silence the drums of war

I long to express my quest for peace

Only dreamers can forge the change in this world
Only dreamers can bring new light to the storm
Without dreamers, dreamers, the weight won't shift

We need dreamers, dreamers, to fuel the fight

We need dreamers, many more dreamers, many more
We need dreamers, many more dreamers, many more

Quest for Peace

The echoes (echoes, echoes) of your voice
Flow through the stream of my memories

They give the rhythm
They light the path
They give me the strength
To live without you

The echoes (echoes, echoes)

How can you feel so present and so intense?
When you're just echoes lost in deep space

I guess the stars are aligned
How lucky I am?
To still receive
Your echoes (echoes, echoes)

The echoes (echoes, echoes) of your love
Guide my steps with their melodies

They weave through the shadows
They soften pain
They give me the strength to stay
Even though I miss you

The echoes (echoes, echoes)

How can you be so present and so intense?
When you're just echoes lost in deep space

I'm sure the stars are aligned
I want to say how lucky I am
To still receive
Your echoes (echoes, echoes)

How lucky I am?
To still hear you and feel you
To still receive
Your echoes (echoes, echoes)

Your echoes (your echoes, your echoes)

Echoes

Small talk...
Just speak to avoid silence

Small talk...
Just speak to avoid silence

Oh, the weather's nice today (So nice)
It's warmer than last may (Definitely)
Did you hear about the neighbors? (Tell me)
They just moved to God knows where (Really?)

Better say nothing (Nothing at all)
Than to make small talk (Small Talk)
Still, it's not always easy (It's not easy)
To just stay silent (Bla bla, bla bla)

Better speak your heart (Shy heart)
Than talk in vain (Small Talk)
But it's never that easy (It's not easy)
To be just honest (Bla bla, bla bla)

Oh, Traffic’s bad, took me so long (Same for me)
Mornings always feel so wrong (I agree)
Coffee’s cold, but I don’t mind (I prefer tea)
Guess it wakes me up just fine (Hopefully)

(bla bla, bla bla) x4

Better say nothing (Nothing at all)
Than to make small talk (Small Talk)
Still, it's not always easy (It's not easy)
To just stay silent (Bla bla, bla bla)

Better speak your heart (Shy heart)
Than talk in vain (Small Talk)
But it's never that easy (It's not easy)
To be just honest (Bla bla, bla bla)

Small talk ...
Just speak to avoid silence (bla bla, bla bla)  
Weather...
Sunny or not sunny day (bla bla, bla bla)
Small talk ...
Just speak to avoid silence (bla bla, bla bla)  
Weather...
Rainy or not rainy day (bla bla, bla bla)

Small Talk

I like to walk alone
And to feel, feel the rhythm of the city
I look at all the people
Trying to guess, guess the stories of their lives

(Trying to guess, trying to guess)

Why is that man running fast?
Is he late? Late for something big?
Maybe chasing down a dream,
Or just catching the last train to his home?

(Trying to guess, trying to guess)

Every face, a story to imagine
In this city full of people
Every smile, a journey to discover
I just walk and let them shine

So many faces, so many dreams
Rushing past like movie scenes
Who they are, I'll never know
I just love to watch them go

(Trying to guess, trying to guess)

And that girl with shining eyes,
Lost in smiles, or lost in her thoughts,
Is she waiting for someone?
Or just dreaming of love tonight?

(Trying to guess, trying to guess)

(Trying to guess, keep on trying to guess)

(Trying to guess, trying to guess)

Trying to Guess

(Kind of obsession)
(Going Crazy)

Just a day in his life
(Kind of obsession)
It's a matter of courage
He just wants to climb that building
(Going Crazy)
Disappearing into the sky

It's a strong obsession
(Strong obsession)
Just a matter of time
His new goal is that building
(Going Crazy)
That pierces through the sky

He's got no rope, no plan
(Kind of obsession)
But his hands know the way
Each window is a promise
(Going crazy)
Each ledge a step to the top
(A step to the top, to the top)

No ropes, no rules, no reason
(Mr Robert)
No fear, no doubt, no ceiling
(For Mr Robert)

People stop and stare up
As he walks on air
Mr Robert controls his fear
He leaves nothing to chance

No ropes, no rules, no reason
(Mr Robert)
No fear, no doubt, no ceiling
(For Mr Robert)

Mr Robert is the man who kissed the sky
(A true legend)
Mr Robert is the gravity breaker
(The gravity breaker)

No ropes, no rules, no reason
(Mr Robert)
No fear, no doubt, no ceiling
(For Mr Robert)

Mr Robert

I feel like letting go
(Like letting go)
Go running through the shadows
Feel the breeze and feel empty
But I want to make life easy

Some days I just lose my glow
(I lose it slow)
Slow thoughts like a river's flow
Tears fall where the dark winds flee
But I try to hold on gently
  
Go, running through the shadows
Go, chasing after echoes
Let's build a brand new glow
Let's free the seeds we sow

When I feel like letting go
(Like letting go)
I remember seeds still grow
If I feel the breeze and feel empty
Then I breathe and hold on steady

The fire I hold and seal
(I keep it strong)
Strong enough to keep it inside
No storm can break, no night can steal
Nor make me cast it aside

Go, running through the shadows
Go, chasing after echoes
Let's build a brand new glow
Let's free the seeds we sow

I feel like letting go
(Go, running through the shadows)
I feel like letting go
(Let's build a brand new glow)
(Let's free the seeds we sow)
I feel like letting go
(Go, chasing after echoes)
(Let's free the seeds we sow)
The seeds we sow
(Let's free the seeds we sow)

Letting Go

(Running through the shadows)
(Running through the shadows)
(Through the shadows)
(Still lying in my bed)
(Some voices in my head)
(I'm floating in between)
(The night’s not gone just yet)

Look by the window
Is it a cockcrow ?
No matter the dream that I seek
No matter the voice that I hear

Caught in a shadow
Eyes still in slow flow
No matter the day of the week
No matter the week of the year
 
Time to make your dreams come true
The night is ending
Wake up!
Step into the blue

Light through the window
Time in a soft glow
No matter the words that we speak
No matter if silence is near

Fog on the meadow
Thoughts come and let go
No matter the height that we peak
No matter the fall that we fear

Time to make your dreams come true
The night is ending
Wake up!
Step into the blue

The sky is painting something new
No need pretending
Wake up!
The world is waiting just for you

Wake up!
The world is waiting just for you

Wake up!

Wake Up!
