Walking alone in the park
She wonders where she belongs
Few years later
Seaside with the closest friends
Freedom - feet on the sand
20
Living the dream in a van
With lightness chasing a muse
The heartbreaks cut the skin oh so so bad
Till real life gets kicking in…
Take her back to those blissful moments
Feeling on top of the world
When did life get so complicated
She just wants to feel
Everything
30
Brand new adventures every day
The feeling it might still all change
She stops smoking, gets much less angry then before
Suddenly her heart’s open wide
Take her back to those blissful moments
Feeling on top of the world
When did life get so complicated
She just wants to feel
Everything

Contemplate

Seven twenty-two snoozing my alarm
Wake first daughter up
Her clothes are on the chair
Daughter number 2 wants to cuddle up
Of course I say OK - then we end up late
Tornado in the kitchen
Table is now set
Pancakes frying up
Soon it’s time to go
Riding on my bike
Doctor says it’s good
To keep the heart rate up
And I’ll avoid a stroke
Suddenly an image springs spring to mind
Water flowing peacefully peacefully
What if things were different different
What if I could contemplate contemplate
Suddenly an image springs spring to mind
Sunlight shining through the leaves through the leaves
What if I was blessed with time blessed with time
What if I could contemplate contemplate
I arrive at work
Emails piling up
Pressure to achieve
Brain needs to be wired
I’m the go-get type
But sometimes I can’t breathe
My head is split in two
Mother employee
One is nature’s call
the other bills support
Still no time to waste
One task to the next
Did I do it wrong?
Where has my time gone?
Will I have a chance?
Have I blown it up?
Suddenly an image springs spring to mind
Sandy beach and waves that move oh so slow
What if I could join the tide join the tide
What if I could contemplate contemplate
Suddenly an image springs spring to mind
Wind caressing me on a shore on a shore
What if I could stop the time stop the time
What if I could contemplate contemplate

I Got Dreams
06:17

I got dreams bigger than life
And my time slipping away
Better be heart and soul here - I can sense regrets kicking in
When I was young I always thought
That my life would never end
Now I scramble through my days - if only I could just go back
Who would have thought in a moment so much would pass me by
Routine is to blame or maybe
I wasn’t awake all time - all time…..
I got dreams bigger than life
Always aiming for the sky
But reality grounds me - my bad for not seizing the day
Who would have thought in a moment so much would pass me by
Routine is to blame or maybe
I wasn’t awake all time - all time…..

Il Tempo Che Passa

Te la ricordi ancora quella spiaggia in Grecia
Per arrivarci in piedi non finiva mai
Tu bellissima in costume con le amiche cosi eleganti
Io ti guardavo eri perfetta e diversa da me
Negli anni che sono passati ci ho provato a dirti
Che forse l’ho trovato un modo solo mio
Di sopravvivere al caos dei giorni, guardare il mondo sempre con stupore
I modi mancano ma la sostanze c’e’.
E prima di salutarci
Ti assicuro che ce la faro’
Non importa quanto sia dura
La forza di spirito ho preso da te
Spiegami come hai fatto a sopportare i giorni
In cui io rifiutavo tutto quello che
Con passione avevi costruito e a poco a poco diventava tanto
Era abbastanza da permettermi di avere sogni
Essere madre mette tutto in prospettiva
L’eta’ calma i bollori, chiarisce le idee
Sono cresciuta una donna diversa da quel che forse avevi in mente tu
Ma ogni pensiero di ogni giorno e’ ancora pieno di te
Prima di salutarci
Ti assicuro che non smettero’
Di cercare di migliorarmi
La forza di spirito ho preso da te
E prima di salutarci
Ti assicuro che ce la faro’
Non importa quanto sia dura
La forza di spirito ho preso da te

Live Again

Longing grows as years go by
Sometimes I see
Flashes from the past
So vividly
The warm embrace of my mother
The reprimands
The gentle strength of my father
The growing pains
Starry night skies early spring
That jasmine scent
Dad collects me when it’s late
I’m safe again
Until a train takes me far away
Like in a dream
Two earrings dangling the long hair
He broke my heart
If I could live
If I could live it all again
If I could live
If I could live it all again
Satellites crossing the night sky in summer
That new year’s eve my mascara was runny
First time you held me in your arms was heady
Scared of your sickness so much I went crazy
Bonds everlasting that make one’s life heavy
Grateful for everything can I have some more?
If I could live
If I could live it all again
If I could live
If I could live it all again

Working

Guess I’ve been working working working day and night
And I’ve forgotten who I really want to be
Been trying to be so perfect for so long
Where is my gratification I am not so sure
I surely had my goals always in sight
But now my eyes have lost their spark they look so tired
Sometimes I feel my brain wants to go blank
So I can take a moment breathing in and out
Time to get off from this treadmill leading me nowhere
Do more of the stuff that feels like calling, music can be found
Going to spread my wings
Been long time waiting for this epiphany
No one cares for my self better than myself
Leave people pleasing behind
I’ve been working working working day and night
And I’ve forgotten what I am doing this all for
Was it money status or personal growth
Can someone please remember I have lost the plot.
The time that’s ticking’s never coming back
And as the years go by it’s time to prioritise
Gotta leave some of the moaning right behind
No space for negativity only bright light
Time to get off from this treadmill leading me nowhere
Do more of the stuff that feels like calling, music can be found
Going to spread my wings
Been long time waiting for this epiphany
No one cares for my self better than myself
Leave people pleasing behind

Matter

Silly little thoughts I am going to send you
Back to the corner of my mind where it is darkest
And from there you won’t emerge weight of age all over you
This is adulthood for you level-headed and stone cold
Silly little thoughts my spine that tingles
Has to be reined in at speed of light to show a cool face
I am aware much more right now of my aim and direction
It’s not time for messy turns just move on towards reason
The things that matter
What doesn’t matter
The things that matter
What doesn’t matter
Silly little thoughts thrill seeker in me
Keep out of sight make sure you do I’ve shed my old skin
I will rise above these calls with a sense of connection
To these choices I have made, made my life so much brighter
The things that matter
What doesn’t matter
The things that matter
What doesn’t matter

E' Sera

E’ sera
Ed e’ ora di dormire
Vi guardo
Le lacrime che piangero’
La’ fuori
fa piu’ freddo che sulla neve
Il mondo
E’ stupido senza pieta’
Vi diranno come apparire e poi
Vi chiameranno nomi per ferirvi ma
Voi sarete forti ascoltarli non vale
Vi mostreranno immagini irreali e poi’
Vi scherniranno se non le seguirete
Io spero di riuscire a confortarvi col vero
Dormite
Ed il cuore mi si spezza
Al pensiero
Che un giorno io non ci saro’
Per sempre
Dalle nuvole lontane
In eterno
Saro’ con voi vi guardero’

Wonderful cool artists
Roaming on the scene
Inspiring the masses with a mix of strength and vulnerability
They are praising each other
The power of the scene
Propelling their talents to success around the world what a brilliant thing
I understand the obsession with beauty and style
Effortlessly glittering on stage and off stage
Charming with confidence
Shame that I have always felt
Too old too big too short too fat
Too funny too strict too weird too smart
Too shallow too hard too friendly
Too broke too amateur too busy
Too full of dreams too happy too low
Too strong too weak too weary
And it’s so sad
It feels so lonely
Silent outsider
That’s the role the I play
Despite the inspiration I can never manage to fit in this or that
Perennially looking
For some sort of revenge
But it’s really the jealousy that makes me feel Iike I never ever belong
That is why I’ve always felt
too old too big too short too fat
Too funny too strict too weird too smart
Too shallow too hard too friendly
Too broke too amateur too busy
Too full of dreams too happy too low
Too strong too weak too weary
And it’s so sad
It feels so lonely
