"Don't you feel a change a coming From another side of time, Breaking down the walls of silence, Lifting shadows from your mind."

"How can I tell you that I love you, I love you But I can’t think of right words to say."

"If I make a mark in time, I can’t say the mark is mine I’m only the underline of the word Yes, I’m like him; just like you, I can’t tell you what to do Like everybody else I’m searching through What I’ve heard"

"And if I ever lose my hands, Lose my power, lose my land. Oh, if I ever lose my hands, Ooh, I won't have to work no more.And if I ever lose my eyes, If my colors all run dry. Yes, if I ever lose my eyes, Ooh, I won't have to cry no more.Yes, I'm bein' followed by a moon shadow, Moon shadow, moon shadow. Leapin' and hoppin' on a moon shadow, Moon shadow, moon shadow."

"Now I've been happy lately Thinking about the good things to come And I believe it could be Something good has begun. Oh, I've been smiling lately Dreaming about the world as one And I believe it could be Someday it's going to come."

"Now I've been crying lately, Thinking about the world as it is. Why must we go on hating? Why can't we live in bliss?"

"Now come and join the living, its not so far from you And its getting nearer, soon it will all be true Oh peace train sounding louder"

"Oh I’m on my way, I know I am, Somewhere not so far from here All I know is all I feel right now, I feel the power growing in my hair Sitting on my own not by myself, Everybody’s here with me I don’t need to touch your face to know, And I don’t need to use my eyes to see"

"Oh I’m on my way I know I am, But times there were when I thought not Bleeding half my soul in bad company, I thank the moon I had the strength to stop"

"Now I’m not making love to anyone’s wishes, Only for that light I see ‘Cause when I’m dead and lowered low in my grave, That’s gonna be the only thing that’s left of me"

"As years went by the boy grew high And the village looked on in awe They’d never seen anything like The boy with the moon and star before And people would ride from far and wide just to seek the word he spread "I'll tell you everything I've learned," And "Love", is all he said."

"She moves like and angel And seven evening stars Dance through the window Of her universal house"

"Her breath a warm fire In every lovers heart A mistress to magicians And a dancer to the gods"

"Her clothes are made of rainbows And twenty thousand tears Shine through the spaces Of her golden ochre hair"

"Sing a song of love and truth We’ll soon remember if you do When all things were tall And our friends were small And the world was new"

"Oh I can’t keep it in; I can’t keep it in, I’ve gotta let it out I’ve got to show the world; world’s got to see, See all the love; love that’s in me"

"Well I rode a while, for a mile or so Down the road to the 18th Avenue And the people I saw were the people I know And they all came down to take a view"

"O caritas, O caritas nobis semper sit amor mos perituri mortem salutamus — ah, ah sola resurgit vita"

"Give me time forever here in my time"

"Underneath her kiss I was so unguarded Every bottle’s empty now and all those dreams are gone Ah, but the song carries on … so holy"

"All those days are frozen now and all those scars are gone Ah, but the song carries on … so holy"

"Where’s it leading to, freedom at what cost? People needing more and more and it’s all getting lost"

"Yesterday I was on the edge Hoping everything was going to work itself out A good honest man doing the work of God Trying to make things better for Him A lover of life in a school for fools Trying to find another way to survive"

"I said, ‘Put back your heart, and sing, sing While you know you’re still living.’ Sing, sing, sing, while you know there’s still – New Music, new Music, new Music Sweet Music can lighten us Can brighten the world – can save us"

"Oh very young, What will you leave us this time? There’ll never be a better chance to change your mind. And if you want this world to see better days, Will you carry the words of love with you? Will you ride the great white bird into heaven? And though you want them to last forever, You know they never will — you know they never will. And the goodbye makes the journey harder still."

"Sun is the reason And the world it will bloom ‘Cause sun lights the sky And the sun lights the moon"

"They crossed the wood and hanged him A long time ago They still misunderstand him Those who don’t know And in the evening his love will lead the blind In every secret corner there in your mind"

"I love, I love, I’m ready to love — yes"

"And if my mind breaks up In all so many ways I know the meaning of The words, “I love you”"

"I’ve, I’ve had it enough All those lonely rooms And blank faces Had it enough And I want you, I want you no more"

"Come the morning I’ll be far from here Slowly rising in another sphere"

"Novim's Nightmare"

"This stranger had the key To any door he wished — with his eyes, I say What kind of majiks, of majiks? What kind of man — Can make me turn and see the way I really am?"

"One is the ever kindling star King of the immortal spark In heaven’s eye"

"Don’t you remember the days Of the old schoolyard When we had imaginings and we had All kinds of things and we laughed And needed love … yes, I do Oh and I remember you"

"I never wanted to be a star, I never wanted to travel far I only wanted a little bit of love So I could put a little love in my heart"

"Well, if you want to sing out, sing out, And if you want to be free, be free. 'Cause there's a million things to be, You know that there are."

"Morning has broken, Like the first morning, Blackbird has spoken Like the first bird. Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning! Praise for them springing Fresh from the Word!"

"Wenn jemand aber Blasphemie betreibt, dann bedeutet das, daß er kein einziges Gesetz mehr achtet, und dann muß er dementsprechend bestraft werden. Schon bei Jesus stand auf Gotteslästerung Steinigung."

"Wenn alle Menschen streng nach Christentum, Judaismus, Buddhismus und Islam leben würden, hätten wir sehr viel weniger Probleme auf dieser Welt."

"Ich glaube, dass es heutzutage kein interessanteres Thema gibt als die Bildung, als die Frage: Wie erziehen wir unsere Kinder? Welche Werte vermitteln wir Ihnen? [..] Die Bildung ist das höchste Gut, das wir unseren Kindern bieten können."
