Waifs and strays have lost their way Our world is in decay Cause we children of the earth were lead astray In anxiety and fears Marching through this vale of tears Mankind is the same since thousands of years But I know there will be a change One day all will see There is a light that shines for us all And it lasts eternally We are not alone There I see this throne That is lasting forever Far away from home I can hear the call That is lasting forever Worldly bliss it comes and goes Win a friend and find two foes Maybe you will feel like drowning in woes When you’re stumbling in the night And salvation’s out of sight Remember there’s a new hope to ignite

Once I lived in sorrow and misery I was caught by my woe Spreading in me But now I am free and left behind my darkest years All those creeping fears New hopes are woken Silently The chains are broken I found the key to life And to live forever is what I’m destined for I opened up the door Tonight I’ll follow the king To fulfil his will And leave behind the bygone days Far from grace I was a lazar Of society A dirty vagrant With no futurity But now I am free and left behind my darkest years All those bitter tears The king crowned me king I who couldn’t see He vested me with wings Finally I’m free I stand and will fight the good fight till the end of time Through you victory is mine

I am walking And watching All the people surrounding me But I’m walking Alone I am walking And looking At the people passing by But I’m walking Alone Alone I walk but your spirit is with me Though I am bound to this earth I am free Alone I walk through this valley of shame But pristine through you is my name Solitude is a companion on my way Faring into the unknown Outlast the night and rejoice at the day While I am walking alone

Every moment is fading away Like another of my prayers Day by day without change Pain won’t disappear Like a sunray in the dusk I feel that I have lost My will to move on In this misery I see the memories of my past A splendid dream that would never last A flower in the autumn wind When the night breathes your name I remember bygone days But of those gentle times Only memories remained I will hold on to the few years we shared I will never forget A silent bird crossed the sky Without a call he would reply To the question in my mind If you’d live again Why do the maples cast their leaves Is it because they feel my grief Or do they shed their crown To be reborn

Every single step you take Leads you closer to an end But an ending may awake A new beginning near at hand A labyrinth of questions A path that leads astray Afraid that time will make you anxious A life consisting of dismay One thousand dangers One thousand lies Will you be facing On the way of your life But don’t be despondent You will meet the truth One day you’ll see through There are many secrets Unfolding day by day You are walking a long way The way of your life And the farther you’re going The more you’ll understand You are walking a long way In search for peace of mind On a journey that will never end

His name was Albert, forty-seven years of age He was a miner, working every night and day Pickaxe and oil lamp were his silent friends in these dark mines Where the sun never shines Albert was ambitious, tried to find a secret way To a land far from here he once heard of in a tale With pickaxe and oil lamp he wanted to break through the space and time To find this land erstwhile divined Who thought that one man would dare To search in the depths for a door, not knowing where With his confidence and hope he carried on To seek this place, his home... I’ll leave you, so said Albert, I’ll give all a man can give To find this world beyond the dark, it’s where my father lives With pickaxe and oil lamp he wanted to break through the space and time And he never returned again I tried so hard but now I feel weak, my hands are scarred I feel the warmth fade, my strength is gone Can it be that I was wrong? Albert, my beloved son I know you’ve searched so long my friend And now your search has found an end Come, I’ll take you home I searched for so long but now I’ve found the truth There never was a door I finally see through The key was always in my heart to find the hallowed land I’ll leave this world for good now to stay in the potter’s field Who thought a miner was guided by angels alone? I found my place, I found my home...

All alone oh I wish I could walk, never stop Only winds and spirits are there to talk This is my yearning: A place where I’d be on my own and I could breathe free Where am I, where I go? Maybe roam to a place that would only exist in my own dreams Into the nowhere where all yearnings end and my life then would be real The journey’s eternal I’m riding and diving, ascending to skies that are yet unseen The quest is a long one to find me a place where no one has ever been Before me lies freedom, waiting for me I am on this way now that I used to be for so long I will never come back here to this place that I once called home To this place that I once called home To this place that I once called home
