Horse Heart (lyrics by Lisa Isaksson)
Open Lyrics
Past the pine woods, after dark,
sings a lonely meadowlark
of horse hearts racing through the sky
in a line like flying geese
Black courser lift your head up high
feel the time is drawing nigh
when meadowlark has sung to end,
you‘ll run will make amend
Let your heart pound loud and clear,
to let them know you are drawing near
No need to ponder on the way,
your feet won´t stumble they won’t stay
First goes your kin, the goat,
carrying the earth
Then go you, courser,
with heaven tight to your girth
Then come the poets and the singers side by side
Be calm, courser,
you will soon be untied
Cream Sky (lyrics by Colin Somerwell)
Open Lyrics
There’s a little house
Of bright days
I live in this house
From time to time
Spiraling (lyrics by Andria Degens)
Open Lyrics
i go down, down to the river,
i go down, down to the river,
down to the edge, of the waters
flowing, flowing,flowing to the oceans
I stand still in time
wide open sky above the trees,
stars shining so brightly
now I see
there you are, in your skin standing in the water
never thought I’d see you again,
never thought I’d see you again
shining eyes ,
glowing in the darkness,
you kiss my hand,
and in your arms I am,
perfectly adored
we’re spiralling , we’re spiralling
soaring to the centre of all
galaxies, and stars and other worlds
See You In Me (lyrics by Andria Degens)
Open Lyrics
I love you
You help me see
See you in me
You are my mother
You are my father
You are my lover
My best friend
You are the River
And the Mountains
And the Sky
And the Sea
You are the River
And the Mountains
You are the Sky
And the Sea

Through Your Woods (lyrics by Lisa Isaksson)
Open Lyrics
Let me wander in reverb through your woods let me wander in reverb between these trees all the tracks they join together all the tracks they lead away Let me fill these quiet woods with some humming
let´s pretend it is the birds that flew away
all the trees are naked silver
all the paths are paved with leaves in these woods no path has no ending
in these woods no path has no start
all the meadows lay in fallow
all the grass becomes trees
Water (lyrics by Akis Boyatzis)
Open Lyrics
Staring at my angel’s shadow fly
I got mistaken for a stranger from the Northern skies
Seeing my sister deep below
The air is cold while the water flows
Waving at your remembrance long goodbye
Waving at your remembrance long goodbyes
And when the water is melancholic
And my breathing’ s alcoholic
That’s when I climb the ladder to the stars
And if the water flows to nothing
If the show leads to laughing
It’s when you say at least we could try
We could try
We could try
From Here (lyrics by Lisa Isaksson)
Open Lyrics
Härifrån, äger vi held världen/from here, we own the whole world
allt är vårt tills vi kommer dit/everything is ours until we get there
bränner solen gräset vitt/if the sun burns the grass white
reser vi för allt är ditt/then we go cause all is yours
härifrån/From here
Härdifrån, känns allt som en film/from here, everything feels like a movie
en kvarglömd sko visar vart vi ska/a shoe someone forgot shows us where we´re going
allt passerar oss förbi/everything passes us by
kommer molnen reset vi/if the clouds come, then we leave
härfrån/from here
Our Waves (lyrics by Eleni Adamopoulou)
Open Lyrics
Se closed her eyes
She woke up in a dream
She did not know where to go, which way
She walked up
By the Sea
She watched the waves dancing
Like ballerines
She became one of them
One of us?
Yes
Can she go back?
No, she must stay here forever
Cause in this place
We are all made of Dreams
And we don’t want to go back
Only here
We can listen to Our Waves
Can I Dance?
