Het leven is niet zomaar iets
Het komt en gaat, dag en nacht
Je bouwt je dromen steen voor steen
En toch valt iets dat je niet verwacht

Dan in gedachten verdwaald
Zie ik mezelf staan
Zonder jou naast mij
In donker, in het licht van de maan

Het idee alleen te zijn
Maakt me bang, maakt me klein
Waarom deze gedachte ineens
Die ik nooit had verwacht

Het leven heeft nog zoveel te geven
Ik wil elke dag maximaal beleven
Van smorgensvroeg tot diep in de nacht
Meer dan ik ooit had gedacht
Heb nog zoveel te geven, zoveel te doen

Ik zie het voor me, aan de zee
Golven rollen zacht over het strand
Maar zonder jou aan mijn zij
Geen warme hand in mijn hand

We laten elkaar vrij, dat is waar
Jij gaat jouw weg en ik het mijne
Maar toch mis ik ons soms
Het samen lachen, het samenzijn

Het idee alleen te zijn
Maakt me bang, maakt me klein
Waarom deze gedachte ineens
Die ik nooit had verwacht

Het leven heeft nog zoveel te geven
Ik wil elke dag maximaal beleven
Van smorgensvroeg tot diep in de nacht
Meer dan ik ooit had gedacht
Heb nog zoveel te geven, zoveel te doen

Keuzes maken doen soms pijn
Niet om een ander verdriet te geven
Maar eerlijkheid weegt zwaarder dan zwijgen
Want zo blijft liefde leven

Het leven heeft nog zoveel te geven
Ik wil elke dag maximaal beleven
Van smorgensvroeg tot diep in de nacht
Meer dan ik ooit had gedacht
Heb nog zoveel te geven, zoveel te doen
Zoveel te geven, nog zoveel te doen

Zoveel te geven… nog zoveel te doen

Zoveel te geven

From childhood on, life never went as planned,
Not as it should, not the way I had dreamt.
A child full of thoughts, so often unseen,
Searching for warmth, for a place to belong in between.

Sometimes I look back on the days long ago,
With worries that lingered, not knowing where to go.
Moments of silence, of distance, of pain,
So often I felt lost, so small, in the rain.

But I fell, and I rose again,
I learned, I grew, time and again.
The pain gave me strength, the silence a voice,
Now I know who I am, I’ve made my own choice.

I carried the weight, my true self locked tight,
Yet a flame still burned, guiding me to the light.
Now here I stand, stronger, set free,
The past fades away, the future is me.

For I fell, and I rose again,
I live now, I feel whole again.
The pain gave me strength, the silence a voice,
I am who I am, my soul made its choice.

No chains from the past, no walls left to fight,
I walk my own path now, bathed in new light.

I fell, and I rose again,
I carry my dreams, I shine as I learn.
The pain gave me strength, the silence a voice,
I know who I am, I live by my choice.

The Silence Gave Me a Voice

I'm at my desk, but my mind drifts away
Thinking of you in the middle of the day
Someone I've known for so long, it's true
I can't wait till I'm back with you

It happens without me trying at all
Work keeps on moving, but you're in my soul

You're always on my mind, day and night
I feel our laughter, it feels so right
I know deep inside, you're meant for me
This love is strong, it's destiny

Every time, you still break through
It's so clear, so strong, so true
I'll keep you safe within my arms
For you I'll always stand

I realize how much I miss your face
With you, the world feels like a better place
My feelings are honest, my heart's aligned
I know you feel it too this time

It happens without me trying at all
Work keeps on moving, but you're in my soul

You're always on my mind, day and night
I feel our laughter, it feels so right
I know deep inside, you're meant for me
This love is strong, it's destiny

Every time, you still break through
It's so clear, so strong, so true
I'll keep you safe within my arms
For you I'll always stand

I see your smile on every street
Hear your voice in silence, soft and sweet
Holding on to what we share
'Cause I know you'll always be there
 
Sometimes I wonder, is this real or a dream?
But your eyes tell me exactly what it means

You're always on my mind, day and night
I feel our laughter, it feels so right
I know deep inside, you're meant for me
This love is strong, it's destiny

Every time, you still break through
It's so clear, so strong, so true
I'll keep you safe within my arms
For you I'll always stand

No distance, no fear, we're one, we're free
Whatever comes, you're home with me
Always on my mind, always on my mind

Always On My Mind

Always on My Mind

We saw each other through the sunlight’s gleam,
The world was ours, or so it seemed.
We spoke in whispers, hearts on fire,
Like time itself could not conspire.

But love don’t ever draw a straight line,
It heals and hurts, it takes its time.
You can’t keep giving without end,
But through it all, we still transcend.

It’s give and take, it’s lose and find,
Through the fire, through the grind.
In the silence, love remains,
Through the joy and through the pain.
And when we can’t find where we’re going,
There’s more we feel than what we’re showing.
Even when it fades away,
I’ve got no regrets today.

We talked through nights without a sound,
Of dreams still waiting to be found.
At times you slipped beyond my reach,
Yet your love pulled me back to peace.

I won’t fight to claim your heart,
Or force together what falls apart.
I just need you to understand,
That letting go is love’s own hand.

It’s give and take, we bend, we break,
Through the storm, through each mistake.
When the healing doesn’t come,
Let us share, not come undone.
And if the end is what remains,
Let it fade with soft refrains.
No goodbye can steal the grace,
Of love that time cannot erase.

No losers here, no bitter tears,
Just truth that’s whispered through the years.
We stood through all, we’ve seen it through,
Till letting go was love, not blue.

It’s give and take, it’s learn and grow,
Through the highs and through the low.
Even lost, I find a way,
To take from you what love would say.
A lesson, laughter, hearts unshaken,
By the hands of love we’re taken.
Side by side, through all we’ve been,
We end as lovers — still as friends.
