A bird's advice 05:14
lyrics
Look up to me, in the sky I'm flying free flapping my wings, with my family we do not reap we do not sow but even baby ravens know that God provides everything we need... ...to eat. So why do you worry about what shall you eat I'm just a bird and you were to his image made... Oh-oh, you little faith why can't you rest in his embrace? Oh-oh, you little faith why can't you rest, rest, in his embrace. Consider too, the lilies in the field better dressed than any king or queen they do not labor they do not spin yet every spring, God clothes the grass with beautiful gawns. So why do you worry about what shall you wear it's just a lily and you were to his image made... Oh-oh, you little faith why can't you rest in his embrace? Oh-oh, you little faith why can't you rest, rest, in his embrace. Fly and fly, leave worry behind fly and fy, this is a bird's advice fly and fly, seek his kingdom first and all these things will be given in the way and all these things will be given you aswell. So why do you worry about what will come next? I'm just a bird and you were to his image made why do you worry about what will come next? if i'm just a bird, if i'm just a bird, i'm just a bird and you were to his image made... Oh-oh, you little faith why can't you rest in his embrace? Oh-oh, you little faith why can't you rest, rest, in his embrace.

Hans 04:31
lyrics
Er ist Hans, holds a coffee in his hands wears brown shoes, glasses, black tie with dots, that are white he always seats in the same arm chair of the same cafe i met him one day... and i said: We are two strangers in a cafe what a funny coincidence i didn't know you, you didnt' know me but that will never be the same Hans is old, seventy-nine years old he still loves the wife he lost thirteen years ago there's a brown case right next to his feet contains a violin he says: " i play since i was a kid" Oh, just like me We are two strangers in a cafe what a funny coincidence i didn't know you, you didnt' know me but that will never be the same why don't you tell me your story? you could be one of my songs Outside it's cold and I've got time my coffee will be warm a while Young and proud solos played in the philarmonic round the world but now he's old he just plays in the streets "Oh I miss those days but they replaced old men with young boys they do not know the older the violin better the sound" I wrote that down We are two strangers in a cafe what a funny coincidence i didn't know you, you didnt' know me but that will never be the same why don't you tell me your story? you could be one of my songs Outside it's cold and I've got time my coffee will be warm a while And i don't know cannot say how but when i say goodbye to Hans I had his violin, in my hands Hans violin in my hands felt like Christmas, though was not but still a present of God... We were two strangers in a cafe i'm so happy we have met i didn't know you, you didnt' know me but that will never be the same cuz every time that i play, i will remember your name every time that i play i will remember your face every time that i play I will remember... ...this funny coincidence in this cafe where Hans holds a coffee in his hands... ...Hans.

I'm sorry bees 03:48
lyrics
Sweeter than honey are your words sweeter than the honey from the honey comb bees would be so jealous if they Knew you wrote them purposely for me... //SO HIGH, SWEET, DEEP AND WIDE, ITS HARD TO UNDERSTAND BUT MAKES ME HAPPY ALL THE TIME// Deeper than the ocean is your love deeper than the deepest deepest sea fish would be so jealous if they knew //SO HIGH, SWEET, DEEP AND WIDE, ITS HARD TO UNDERSTAND BUT MAKES ME HAPPY ALL THE TIME// Higher than the mountains is your grace higher than the highest everest birds would be so jealous if they knew they could never fly above the peak... //SO HIGH, SWEET, DEEP AND WIDE, ITS HARD TO UNDERSTAND BUT MAKES ME HAPPY ALL THE TIME// I'm sorry fish, i'm sorry birds i'm sorry to the bees... ...but I'm his masterpiece.

Elliott 03:40
lyrics
Bright green eyes Two teeth missing in his smile Always wears, his orange globes And his long and warm brown coat Music makes with a bucket, stick and rope While a cigarette he smokes Close your eyes and you will hear a funny contrabass Than when he plays, stops people in the streets Who put some coins in the case at his feet And who take photographs and videos With their cameras and phones. Dear Elliott, wherever you go Please know, you can always go back home. Il parle francais trois bien mesier Par-ce que he grew up there But he runaway from France with his bucket and his bike ‘i want to be free’ he says, dont belong to anything Hit the road, travel the world, just be myself and me. Dear Elliott, wherever you go Please know, you can always go back home. //If in all this runaway you lose your way, I hope That you can hear this song someday, so I can remind you again// Dear Elliott, wherever you go Please know, you can always go back home.

Goodbye 03:16
lyrics
Goodbye, is not just a word because, it means much more it means you won't see eachother anymore and only God knows, only God, when you will say hello. Hello, is not just a word because it means much more it means you can see eachother once again and only God knows, only God, when you will say goodbye And it hurts, and it's sad breaks my heart, but it's time to say Goodbye... goodbye, bye, bye, bye... Goodbye, can be just for now we may, meet again if there are crossroads in the way but it can also, be forevermore cuz only God knows, only God, when we will say hello And it hurts, and it's sad breaks my heart, but it's time to say Goodbye... goodbye, bye, bye, bye... and only God knows, only God, when you will say hello and goodbye.
