Lyrics:
People why are you all so sad? 
You have what you want
You should be glad 
People it ain’t all so bad 
But you’re fighting and you’re fighting
Don’t know what it’s for
I know you might care about 
Your money 
You want to fit in
You want to be better 
It keeps you hanging  on 
It keeps you wondering why

Your life might be too perfect 
See how lucky you are 
But you’re too scared of losing 
That’s how it seems so far 
Lost in a cage 
Struggled with your own life 
Time to wake up 
Need to get up 
Take your feet in your hands 
If you know what it means 
If you know that feeling 
That you can’t exist 
In a world full of danger and risk

People there’s a way
Beside the stream 
Just try to find out for yourself 
What it means 
That you’re free to create 
Your own destiny 
By accepting your responsibility

Are you free
Are you slaves? 
Victims of your fights? 
Like in a film or a game 
You pull the trigger and it’s over 
Till the next session begins 
And ends again, undercover...
Blame everyone else 
For your own mistakes 
Thumbs up, well done
Guts, that’s what it takes 
Point your finger 
It’s the easiest way 
To treat people 
You might just not understand...

Beside The Stream

"Everything", the 2nd of 7 tracks on the EP "Beside The Stream" by SAM

All songs written and arranged by Selina Aisha Moser
Recorded and produced by Markus Käppeli and Selina Aisha Moser 
Mastered by Kai Blankenberg

Guitars&Vocals: Selina Aisha Moser
Bass: Markus Käppeli
Drums: Bernhard Fischer

Lyrics:
I saw you from the corner of my eye 
I felt there was 
Something between us 
A feeling so intense
So deep and soft at the same time 
I swear: a moment 
Like it would last forever 
Later I spot you dancing 
I was so fascinated 
You exceeded 
Everything I ever knew 
Many years gone by 
Since I met you for the first time 
Now look what we found
Look how we’ve grown 
What we’ve done on our own now

Now all I want to do is 
Treat you right 
Show you there’s nothing to fear
Nothing to hide, no 
Now all I want to do is show you 
That you mean everything 
Everything to me

Headed for the stars 
Flying into the night 
All seeking has an end 
When I look into your eyes 
You got my soul singing
Yes body, heart and mind 
You’re my treasure 
And my brightest star in the sky

Before you should fall 
Listen to my call 
Before you lose your trace 
Feel the magic of faith 
So take my hand 
Put your trust in me 
Don’t forget I’ll always be 
By your side
As your friend, your love, your family

I don’t need you 
(But) I love you 
From the bottom of my soul 
And I know you understand 
What I mean 
Now the story ain’t over 
It’s time to life it up 
So let’s go out
Enjoy holy places not yet found 
To feel safe and sound yeah

Everything

"Same Old Situation", the 4th of 7 tracks on the EP "Beside The Stream" by SAM

All songs written and arranged by Selina Aisha Moser
Recorded and produced by Markus Käppeli and Selina Aisha Moser 
Mastered by Kai Blankenberg

Guitars&Vocals: Selina Aisha Moser
Bass: Markus Käppeli
Drums: Bernhard Fischer

Lyrics:
A hole in your soul 
Your brain overcrowded 
You can’t stop to keep 
Yourself from thinking 
It’s so annoying 
You see your feet on shifting sands 
You got time on your hands 
And you just don’t know 
What to do with yourself 
Now guess what happens 

Addicted to the fast thrill 
To the sweet sticky stuff 
It gets you high like a pill 
Allows you to kill 
You feel strong, you feel tough 
After giving up your free will 
As long as you can run and hide

Same old situation 
You take your medication 
Gives you good vibrations 
Calls for a celebration 

Same old situation 
You take your medication 
Saves you from 
Your own annoying void

Obsession for temptation 
No chance to resist 
You know what follows tomorrow 
It’s another pointless tragedy 
No courage, just pain, no gain 
No will, no guts, no glory 
How hard does it take 
To break this cycle of destruction?

Instead of reaching for 
The sound of your heart 
You decide to chase down 
Every temporary high 
You keep on doing 
The same old, same old 
Tell me would you even 
Sell your soul for gold? 
Would you do everything 
That you’ve been told? 
Do you even know 
Which side you’re fighting for? 
They say jump, you ask "how high" 
That’s what you call pride 
But can’t you hear 
Your inner child cry?

Same Old Situation

"Inside", the 6th of 7 tracks on the EP "Beside The Stream" by SAM

All songs written and arranged by Selina Aisha Moser
Recorded and produced by Markus Käppeli and Selina Aisha Moser 
Mastered by Kai Blankenberg

Guitars&Vocals: Selina Aisha Moser
Bass: Markus Käppeli
Drums: Bernhard Fischer

Lyrics:
Imagine waking up 
From a beautiful dream 
Just to realize it’s true
Cause your life’s a dream 
Imagine there’s no war 
Love and joy is what we’re living for 
And money doesn’t matter 
Cause we’re rich in our hearts 
Imagine every stranger 
You meet in your life 
Is your sister or your brother 
Just a neighbor on the dancefloor 
Just joking around
Enjoying the sound 
Nothing else that counts
Nothing else to be found 

And though the names change 
Though we’re all to blame 
No need to feel ashamed 
Deep inside we’re all the same
So make mistakes
As many as it takes 
Cause it means to learn
To be prepared to get together 
So make mistakes
As many as it takes 
Cause you know 
Deep inside we’re all the same 

Imagine every stranger 
You meet in your life 
Was once a child
Innocent and kind 
See that smile
Only for a while 
Feel that love you can’t deny 
I’m sure we can do it
If we try 
We all were once sad and lonely
Blinded and scared
Maybe left alone in a danger zone 
See you’re not alone 
I’m part of you
You’re part of me 
And our world is shared 
By many millions
