This is a single from my upcoming album, stay tuned...

lyrics

There’s a song inside my head
that I sing for everyone
Been a long time since I’ve seen you
Wonder when I will again

Cause the old world has been shattered
It’s a brave and new one
And I wonder where the dice are gonna fall

We’ve been called down to land
We can forget about those things we planned

So I’m asking for forgiveness
But please don’t forget me
And I’ll see you when we tear down these walls

There’s a memory in the corner
There’s an old suitcase
I once dragged through foreign airports
On my way to sing a tune

But for now I am in hiding
As the whole world hides too
Waiting for the day the seeker marches through

You can cry, you can rage
But it won’t help you to turn the page

So I’ll keep asking for forgiveness
From the life I used to lead
I did not want to abandon it at all

When this all comes to an end
Will the wound mend?
When it all is good and fine
What will I remember from this time?

So I’ll pick up my guitar
And I’ll sing for everyone
And everything that’s hidden living lonely in this fog

For some day it will be springtime
And we’ll stretch out to the sun
On the other side of lonely
I can hold you, you can hold me
And we’ll sing a song together
Just like it once was done
