NO REASON

Sometimes the way you are to go
is not the way you would've chosen
You might need to take it slow,
inside you might start to feel frozen

You might even lose your faith,
because the future is so unclear
-don't be threatened by a wraith,
but start to see what's on your side, right here

You don't have a reason to give up:
You might have to take a detour,
but there is no need at all to stop
just because you feel so insecure,
because you don't know for now
what to do, or even how…
There is no reason to ever stop
-there is no reason to give up

Even if the way seems blocked,
it doesn't mean the end of all:
There are just some doors which are locked
-give up false pride, there might be someone to call

There is certainly a way to go on,
something you are able to do:
Even if you feel like your strength is gone,
there is a way you can make it through
You don't have a reason to give up:
You might have to take a detour,
but there is no need at all to stop
just because you feel so insecure,
because you don't know for now
what to do, or even how…
There is no reason to ever stop
-there is no reason to give up

Keep on following what's in your heart,
because your dreams can give you a start:

So you don't have a reason to give up:
You might have to take a detour,
but there is no need at all to stop
just because you feel so insecure,
because you don't know for now
what to do, or even how…
There is no reason to ever stop
-there is no reason to give up

Remember why you were to start
Remember what you already had to do
Remember on what you set your heart
-remember I believe in you

You don't have a reason to give up:
You might have to take a detour,
but there is no need at all to stop
just because you feel so insecure,
because you don't know for now
what to do, or even how…
There is no reason to ever stop
-there is no reason to give up

Because you are not really on your own:
Take a look around and see
-I will not let you do it all alone:
I'm on your side - like I will always be

You don't have a reason to give up:
You might have to take a detour,
but there is no need at all to stop
just because you feel so insecure,
because you don't know for now
what to do, or even how…
There is no reason to ever stop
-there is no reason to give up









RELIGION

What we choose to believe in
is a very personal choice,
so the point where I'd like to begin
is by listening to the own inner voice

We need to be silent in order to hear,
we shouldn't be led by some inner fear:
Just start the journey by finding out
what religion  really is all about

Religion usually shows how we should live,
you can find it to be a good guiding line
It gives examples of what we could give,
what we can do to be doing really fine

Your parents might have chosen for you,
trying to be giving all their best
-but if this choice for you really can do
can only show if you put it to the test

What you believe in is a matter of heart,
nobody can really show you the way,
so a good point with which you  can start
is by learning just a bit - but every day

Your religion should match the traditions you follow,
it should be able to give advice and help you grow
You should be feeling inner peace and love,
as taught be the great teachers I am thinking of

Never forget - your religion should help you show
the best of you that's hidden inside
-find the truth, and follow the way you choose to go:
Don't be led by prejudice, but let understanding be your guide









A CURE

Is it really important for you
who the other person really may be?
What other persons may get to see
- their look, their colour of skin -
is it really necessary for you to begin,
to start seeing what they have gone through?

Would you even avoid to simply talk
just because there might be something you didn't expect?
Do you fear something you weren't able to detect,
that could make you feel a way you didn't before?
Are you afraid to be able to see more
so you don't dare to even take a walk?

By only seeing what's outside
there is too much we get to ignore
If we look deeper into each other's core,
we might find not much that keeps us apart
We are not so different deep inside our heart
Who we are doesn't need to hide

Don't you finally understand
that we all have only one origin?
That fighting each other is the real sin,
when we really should support each other?
Can't you tell that we all really should act as sister and brother,
one family that should be working together hand in hand?

In this harmony I'm thinking of
each person can find a place they belong,
because only together we can be really strong
there is no real reason to separate
-so stop fighting each other before it's too late:
I believe the cure for this world is peace and love
