As I gaze at the streets of my home town
I see a sad glimpse of what used to be,
But also a joyful glimpse of what can be
Diversity optimistically intertwined
...

If I just stopped to smell the roses,
I would see that this world,
is still a beautiful place.
The turmoil inside this world,
...

Since I was there
Nothing seems to make sense in my mind
Why do I feel this way
Why has this caused so much confusion
...

Let us start over,
Let us drift away,
To a serene island,
together.
...

This dark day has dawned upon me
My heart's reaction remains a mystery
The secret of this turmoil still untold
During which I become dreary and old
...

Love is love, as love is love
Love is what? Love simply is love
As the moon does glow so I do love
Ask what I do and my answer is love
...

Although I seem so far away
In truth I’m closer than you think

A milky way of dreams each day,
...

In the dark of that night
Light and colour was all I could see
Though these eyes remained shut
In my mind, glorious gardens it would be
...

Oh light, oh light, you shine so bright tonight
You naively place your rays upon them
You give them shine and oh they shine so bright
But soon it will be them that you condemn
...

The time has finally arrived
Time to try the hardest part
Time to finally step forward
Time to exhale and finally let go
...

We are all just a milky way of lonely souls
Surrounded by vultures scavenging what is not theirs,
Trying to cure themselves from their own moulder
...

While dreams and love dance in the mud
She falls down to earth and hears only a thud
Aspirations remain just a fictional story
Forever taken over by all its glory
...

Your wife is crying in the kitchen
Silently so that no sound is heard
As only she herself can strengthen,
Although it may seem a bit absurd,
...
