This is the journey of a man
who left everything
to be himself
He left his house
no goodbyes
got in a boat full of hope
Started paddling
started paddling
down the river of endless dreams
As the current got faster
waves crashed in
as the current got faster
waves crashed in
he started struggling
So let it go
and become a new soul
(free from hate, free from hate)
So let go of everything
you know
your heart won't break
down by the riverbanks
just take a chance
and you will see
no more misery
As he got pulled under the water
the man in the green parka
he saw the light through the surface
it touched his soul, he fell apart and gave into his
serenity and his new home
and as his mind raced to find the answer all he could hear was
“welcome home”

So they found a body
by the waterfall
a man in a parka
they called it a suicide
but I know it's one big lie
So how can we trust
in cowards with narrow minds
the weather has changed
and I know, I know it's time
I know a place
where we can be free
I know it´s hard to see
but please trust me
So they went to the cabin in the woods
to watch the seasons change
through a filthy window frame
Weeks passed and everything was fine
months came und brought new change
(new change)
But then came the day
his idealistic ways
fell apart and he broke her heart
oh broke her heart
'Cause he wanted to go
but she whispered
"oh no"
So he left her in the cabin in the woods
to watch the seasons change
through that filthy window frame
She went to the river
sat by the water
to watch its graceful flow
as nature opened up
her soul
In her mind new words began to form
changing every fibre of her current soul
and transcending her from being a stranger in a mass
to being together with nature at last
And she stepped into the water
let the current run through her
now step into the water
and be free

These train tracks lead nowhere
I can't recall where I come from either
detached and out of place
no needle left in my compass
Compassion's dead I've decided
to part ways with my former life
erase all my tracks
photographs, credit cards
How can I be proud of what I built with my own two hands
if it's not built on solid ground?
How can I see the beauty outside of this barren concrete flat
if my eyes are hollowed out?
They're hollowed out
Call it naive and call it a wreck
this is what I believe in
Call me naive and call me a wreck
label me
New train tracks lead here
and right here where I stand
there shines a light
it shines brighter than your eyes will ever bear to see
so I'll fix this wreck
put it back to water
and sail off to foreign and uncharted lands
let the wind of courage be my vessel
for I am my own compass
I will sail through the night
until dawn
So let me go
I will sail through the night
until dawn

You say to yourself
I have to move on
new cities, new people, new love and new life
And you say to yourself
this life, this world is wondrous and I can't go on
wasting it on depressing thoughts and an empty heart
I've got wanderlust
I've got wanderlust
And you change from a beast to a wolf
running through the city
running through the country
finding new ways to define yourself
a new world opens up in front of you
and all you have to do is
get up and go
just get up and go
And with every new sun
and every new moon
your soul finds tranquility
So start trusting in yourself
as you're no longer lost
on the road
of finding new love
So don’t look back
you found new love
this is what you were looking for
Now your heart is pure
so stay the course
it's your cure
it´s your cure
This life is grand
yet we waste it like trash
throwing it all onto the streets
we don’t fight anymore
for what we believe in
we sit in the darkness
thinking this is life
but believe me
this is hell
oh this is hell
this is hell
this is hell
And we are the wolves
we are the wolves
not running in packs
separated from the rest
we are separated
We crippled ourselves so long ago
and fell in dark and deep hardships
and as we burn our bridges
we are truly and utterly lost
