Easterling Written Word 

all you young people
standing in the bushes
with your heads
hanging so low

your feet and beer can
before your eyes
your chest is heavy
what have you done

are the evil spirits
chasing you
just come in
you'll be safe
do the angry eyes
follow you
just come in
we are here

all you wild-eyes girls
who don't feel
the patience
to sit down

and you beaten boys
with hardly
clenched fist
why the guilt

are the black rats
creeping there
just come in
you'll be safe
will the harsch voice
accuse you
just come in
we are here

we just want to
reach out
and include you

don't run away
from us
we love you

long to include you

---

Sometimes
Sometimes..
it feels like I live
in a totally different world

There's a crack in the cliff
that we're standing on
I look at you over there
and sometimes I wish
I could join you on the other side

Oh what to say about a lonley heart
the hours of the night are long
the darkness of the sky is thick
I sing with a hoarse voice now
but I still sing about love

Too many questionmarks in my mailbox
Too many easy answers from the stage
Too many empty eyes on the tv screens
Too many heads hanging low in the park

Can I walk towards a future, can I speak of hope
Can I say to them ”I'm sorry” when it's not my fault
Can I heal their wounds, when I too have scars
Many people would tell me stop - it's not my job to care

Oh what to say about a lonley heart
the hours of the night are long
the darkness of the sky is thick
I sing with a hoarse voice now
but I still sing about love

The unlimited sky above, and down here I'm alone
I have a moment now, when I can see that there
is space enough for all the agony of the world
here I can shout out the despair of my own soul

Oh what to say about a lonley heart
the hours of the night are long
the darkness of the sky is thick
I sing with a hoarse voice now
but I still sing about love

Can dreams come true? I'll tell my friend I can't say
somethings never happens and somethings actually do
I'll stand to wait for the new day to arrive
the clouds to fade, and the light to break through

Too many questionmarks in my mailbox
Too many easy answers from the stage
Too many empty eyes on the tv screens
Too many heads hanging low in the park

it's not my job to care
it's yours
it's yours

---

If all my treasures
my buildings have to fall down
then let it be
Let what falls fall
among the pieces that are left
is the truth.

Why should I shout and scream and struggle
defend something that isn't right
just because it's mine
Let what falls fall
among the pieces that are left
still stands the truth.

    Songs are chiming bells
      in my heart
and gratefulness rises
    from the depths
       like insence 

---

Inside of me
there is no room
for rules
of a game
I don't want
to play

---

Look at the stars !
they are lifting
my eyes towards the openess

Always like that
a sign, a story told with
the voice
      of eternity

a voice so clear
eyes waiting, and no limits there
no masks and no pretending
The sky so open that it
  scares me

---

Life is chasing me but I refuse to be chased
I refuse to be a prey
I'll go my own way
from the woods, up the hill, still amazed

---

Some way it feels like
the fog is a shelter
A place where I can hide
just another day
The thickness of the darkness
makes me peaceful
The silence of the woods
won't tell them where I stay

---

You left me longing for clean waters
   touched
by something I can't resist
   a dream, vision
  of something worthy, something true

How to describe, how to show the way?
  You affected me, now please
   continue Your work
You left me longing for clean waters
that's all know, and all I can say

---

I stand alone before You
You are more than I can crasp
  and understand
A life is fading away
and I can blame You of blindness
but it's me who can't see

---

When we've come to this point...

where all the storms have weathered out
where frustration and anger have faded 

where I lift my eyes again
and see you standing there next to me,
waiting

The point where all those knots of tension are loosened
all the questions have been asked
all doubts have been revealed and named
and all worry have been shared

Where it's coming to an end
where there's the right to land
to lie down and rest
where there are only you and me left
