I was taken away from my brothers
I was taken away from my friends
And now we just pray for each other
I pray to go back

Sometimes I still see my mother
She appears in my dreams like a flame 
She tells me to care for each other
And that's all she says

There are times when the sky seems so blue
There are times when I'm not so afraid
But then I see
that we hurt each other, we blame each other, time and time again
and that's what I see, we abandon each other, 
we betray each other, again and again

When I first arrived on this island
I thought I was born again
I thought my journey was over
But I see no end

There are times when the ocean's so clear
And my darkness inside drifts away
But then I see
we still hurt each other, we still blame each other, time and time again
That's what I see, we abandon each other, we betray each other, again and again

There are times when the sky seems so blue
There are times when I'm not so afraid
But then I see
we still hurt each other, we still blame each other, time and time again
and that's what I see, we abandon each other, 
we betray each other, again and again

I had to leave all my brothers
I had to leave my homeland
And now just we pray for each other
we pray to go back

Always a Rainbow

Lampedusa

I wanna know why the sky is blue
and make it better
I could add a color or two
to make it better
I wanna know if your smile is true
can you make it better
I feel like a flower ready to bloom
gonna be much better

Slow down now, my heart
let's make it better

I wanna spend the rest of my time
trying to get better
I feel like a bird ready to fly
gonna be much better
I wanna see the rest of the world
and make it better
Cause you and me are ready to roll
everything's better

Slow down now, my heart
let's make it better

It's Gonna Get Better

There's a light far out on the sea
There's a sign on top of a hill
and there's a road, it starts right here
and here I see our love, it won't disappear
Cause you and I have been here before
All this time we've been looking for more

But instead of running
let's sit on the sand
and instead of talking
let's listen and dance
and instead of waiting
let's call all our friends
and instead of crying
(just) kiss me again 

There's a night when I cannot sleep
and there's a day when nothing seems deep
but you and I we know what to do
side by side we fly to the moon

And instead of running
We lay down on the grass
and instead of talking
We just sing and dance
and instead of hiding
We share it with friends
and instead of crying
we just kiss again

Instead Of Crying

Life is on its way now
and every living being has its place now
and I feel like I found my own space now
and everything's ok

I'm living for today now
I don't need to wait or care about tomorrow
I don't have to look for someone else to follow
cause I don't have any chains

And I know, the orchestra is playing
I know, the symphony is always changing

It's the sound of the trees, it's the sound of the clouds
It's the sound of the breeze, and it's spreading around
it's the music of life, evolving through the years
It's a beautiful choir, and it brings me to tears

I'm riding like a free man
I don't need to come up with some sort of b plan
I don't have to lock myself inside a tin can
and everything's ok

And I know, the orchestra is playing
I know, the symphony is always changing

It's the sound of the sky, it's the sound of the sea
It's the sound of the tide, 
and the sound makes me breathe
it's the music of earth, evolving through the years
and for what it's worth, it still brings me to tears

And I know, the orchestra is playing
I know, the symphony is always changing

It's the sound of the trees, It's the sound of the clouds
It's the sound of the breeze, and it's spreading around
It's the sound of the sky, It's the sound of the sea
It's the sound of the tide, 
and the sound makes me breathe
it's the music of life
evolving through the years
It's a beautiful choir
and it brings me to tears
it still brings me to tears

The Music Of Life

After the rain there's always a rainbow
Above the clouds there's always the blue
Beyond the mountains there's always the ocean
Behind every lie there's always the truth

A day once came and everything changed 
That was the day when I met you
After that day nothing seemed strange (anymore)
It was like lightning out of the blue
When I found you

After each night there's always a morning
After the darkness there's always a light
After a journey there's always a new home
After the tears there's always a smile 

A day once came and everything changed 
That was the day when I met you
After that day nothing seemed strange (anymore)
It was like lightning out of the blue
When I found you

Always A Rainbow

Say what you think, say what you think, say what you think
and take what you need, take what you need, take what you need

you know there's only one road to your future
You know there's nothing standing in your way
and I can really see your true colors
you're like a flower in space
floating and spreading beauty and grace
so, you say what you think, and take what you need

and go where you want, go where you want, go where you want
and try, try everything, try everything, try everything

you know you have a chance to be happy
I know there's nothing standing in your way
I know for sure this journey is never ending
you're like a cherry in may
small and sweet and ready to play
so, you say what you think, and take what you need
and go where you want, and try everything,

and be who you are, be who you are, be who you are  
and love, love everyone, love everyone, love everyone
cause I believe your story is worthwhile telling
I know there's nothing standing in your way
it's so much fun to imagine where you're heading
you're like a cloud in the sky
changing your shape before my eyes
so, you say what you think, and take what you need
and go where you want, and try everything
and be who you are, and love everyone
and imagine new things, and break all the rules
and believe in your dreams, and change everything,
and learn everything, and try everything
just go ...

Be Who You Are

Sunny day, I think I'm gonna be ok
I think I'm gonna be amazed
in this beautiful day
Pretty smile, I think I'm gonna be all right
I think I'm gonna touch the sky, with your beautiful smile

I woke up this morning and I saw a sparrow
She jumped on a cloud and then started to sing, sing

Sunny day, I think I'm gonna be ok
I think you're gonna feel the same
in this beautiful day
Pretty smile, I think I'm gonna stay awhile
I think I will enjoy my time, with your beautiful smile

I woke up this morning and I saw a parrot
He just called my name and then started to dance, dance oh 

Pretty smile, I think I'm gonna be all right
I think I'm gonna touch the sky
with your beautiful smile
in this beautiful day
with your sweet sunny smile
in this beautiful day
with your beautiful smile

Beautiful Day

Sleep my dear
and the world will slowly disappear
sleep until the morning comes
Sleep my love
(and) you'll see everything from high above
sleep and dream of days to come
I'll be your midnight sun

Don't you worry about anything
don't be sorry, don't say a word
just close your eyes and sleep ..

.. and the world will smile to you again
and I'll be waiting where the night ends
Sleep my heart
and the world will shine for everyone
sleep and dream of life to come
I'll be your special one 

Don't you worry about anything
don't be sorry, don't say a word
just close your eyes and sleep ..

Sleep my star
and your eyes will shine from afar
dream of you and me as one
until the morning comes

Cindy's Lullaby

When the moon is high
when the wind is strong
you will set your sail
and you'll be gone

When the night is warm
when the days are long
you will touch my hand
and you'll be gone

Like snow in the spring
like a thunderstorm in july
like a river suddenly dry
I'll realize the time has come
and you'll be gone

When your eyes are clear
when your arms are strong
you will say goodbye
and you'll be gone

I'll see rain in the sun
I'll see icicles melting away
flowers blooming just for one day
and I won't be afraid when the time will come
and you'll be gone

You'll Be Gone

They are talking, talking, but I don't hear a sound
and they are calling, calling, but I won't turn around
they send me warnings, warnings, but they won't slow me down
because I'm going, going, nobody can stop me now

I'm on my way, and the sun is my guide
I'm on my way, my guitar by my side
I'm on my way, I've got a song in my mind
I'm on my way, and it feels so good to say
I'm on my way

They are screaming, screaming, cause all they do is fight
they are running, running, and they have no place to hide
they’re counting money, money, and they don’t know what to buy
you see I'm going, going, and this is my goodbye

I'm on my way, and the sun is my guide
I'm on my way, my ukulele by my side
I'm on my way, I've got a dream in my mind
I'm on my way, and I feel so good today
I'm on my way

I'm on my way, and the sun is my guide
I'm on my way, my ukulele by my side
I'm on my way, I've got a song in my mind
I'm on my way, and it feels so good to say
I'm on my way

On My Way

FINDING OUR WAY

Me, running around
catching my train
finding my way
You, taking the bus
carrying your bag 
finding your way

You, in my dreams, and in my heart
Me, driving home, finding my way,
finding my way

You, brushing your hair
baking some bread
finding your way
Me, playing guitar
watching at stars
finding my way

You, in my dreams, and in my heart
Me, coming home, finding my way
finding my way

You, in my dreams, and in my heart
Me, coming home, finding my way to you
finding my way to you
to you
