1. Take Me Back
Take me back to the land where I came from
I wanna roam those fields
Show me the way, cause that's what I need
Is there a map, cause I don't want to stray
It's been to long
Take me back
Yeah take me back
Take me back
Take me back to the place that feels like home to me
Take me back, dig my roots into ground
It's the land that gave me shelter, when the rain poured down on me
Treated me kind, raised me up
Yeah
Take me back
Please take me back
Yeah take me back
I wanna go back, I wanna see those fields
Let my eyes catch that light
Take me take me take me take me take me back
A vision and a dream, lush colors
Fantasy in form, vivid stream of conscious
Blue skies and fertile soil, helping hands and open doors
Let me through, I can't wait anymore yeah
Take me back
Please take me back
Yeah take me back
I wanna go back, I wanna see those fields
Let my eyes catch that light
Take me take me take me take me take me
I think I know love, I know where it dwelt
Returning home is the higher plan
Ignite a bushfire deep inside
Burning desire, take off to the light
The day will arrive, that I'll pack my bags

The sun on my face and you by my side
I know it will happen soon
Put my feet on solid ground yeah

2. Green Clouds
Green clouds are approaching me
I'm small, but I'm standing tall
Tried to hold my grip
Don't want to tumble and fall
From early on
The wind predicts what will come
Send over to spread the news
Flashing lights and roaring screams
Is this all you've got
Count me in for the next stroke
Don't you hold back
Is this all you've got
Give it your best shot
Thrust me on my back
I'm sitting on my knees
I'm in the mood for more
With every thunder I feel unload
Force of nature you make me feel
I'm a part of it all
Shallow me, take me in
I wanna be the show
Is this all you've got
Count me in for the next stroke
Don't you hold back
Is this all you've got
Give it your best shot
Thrust me on my back
Is this all you've got
Is this all you've got
Is this all you've got
Is this all you've got
Is this all you've got
Is this all you've got
I'm small, but I'm standing tall
Tried to hold my grip
Don't want to tumble and fall
From early on
The wind predicts what will come
Send over to spread the news
Flashing lights and roaring screams
Is this all you've got
Count me in for the next stroke
Don't you hold back
Is this all you've got
Give it your best shot
Thrust me on my back
I'm sitting on my knees
I'm in the mood for more
With every thunder I feel unload
Force of nature you make me feel
I'm a part of it all
Shallow me, take me in
I wanna be the show
Is this all you've got
Count me in for the next stroke
Don't you hold back
Is this all you've got
Give it your best shot
Thrust me on my back

3. Count Me In
I wanna be a part of it
Don't stand on the sideline
Let me play the game

Years of watching from a distance
I can imagine how it feels like, to be involved
It's all I can think about
Count me in
Count me in
Count me in
Count me in
Count me in
Count me in
A shift in gear, a different ride
From the shadows into broad daylight
Give me the call, and I'll be there
I've waited for a long time
Yeah, call me up, I'll be your man
I know, what it takes
Count me in

Let's gonna shake the ground tonight
Yeah, call me up, I'll be your man

Our boundary lays beyond the sky
Let set this game on fire
Don't stand on the sideline
Let me play the game

Years of watching from a distance

It's all I can think about

4. Shift
I grip my hands around it, so it can't escape
All hands on deck, so it won't slip away
It's in the hands of the gods
So it seems, I can't mold it my way no
The harder I try, the more it shifts
It won't take long before I'll lose this battle
Will I accept my defeat
I'm losing, I'm losing big time
And it feels, I'm on the other side
I can't control it, can I let it go
I can't control it, drag me away
I can't control it, It ain't a paved way
I can't control it, I can't control
A lesson learned, it's sinking in
I'm landing, on my own two feet
I'm standing firm, and my tunnel vision fades
And I can see shapes and colors
Life is presenting today
It's in the hands of the gods
And you can see that I'm on my knees
I can't control it, can I let it go
I can't control it, drag me away
I can't control it, It ain't a paved way
I can't control it, I can't control
It's much better now, nothing that bites
A weight is lifted, why did I try
Time is on my hands, and why did I care
I even have an extra eye out here
I can control it, I can control it
I can control it, I can control it
All hands on deck, so it won't slip away
It's in the hands of the gods
So it seems, I can't mold it my way no
The harder I try, the more it shifts
It won't take long before I'll lose this battle
Will I accept my defeat
I'm losing, I'm losing big time
And it feels, I'm on the other side
I can't control it, can I let it go
I can't control it, drag me away
I can't control it, It ain't a paved way
I can't control it, I can't control
A lesson learned, it's sinking in
I'm landing, on my own two feet
I'm standing firm, and my tunnel vision fades
And I can see shapes and colors
Life is presenting today
It's in the hands of the gods
And you can see that I'm on my knees
I can't control it, can I let it go
I can't control it, drag me away
I can't control it, It ain't a paved way
I can't control it, I can't control
It's much better now, nothing that bites
A weight is lifted, why did I try
Time is on my hands, and why did I care
I even have an extra eye out here
I can control it, I can control it
I can control it, I can control it
5. Glow
In the temple for thought a riot roared
All seemed lost
But after the clash I felt refreshed
That was not what I expected
It is out of control and I can't choose my path
But my fire burns on
Please step into my glow
This is how I like it, nothing to lose
Steerless and lost at sea
But a strange thing occurred
I felt free
Energy abound, and since long I got around
The code has been cracked
It is out of control
And colors dancing round my head
There is nothing I can do
Please step into my glow
This is how I like it, nothing to lose
All that I see are purple colors
Dancing in front of me
I'm caught up in an dream
I know now, that love is something that we need
The origin, the base, the seed
I want this dream to become real
It is out of control
And I can't choose my path
But my fire burns on
Please step into my glow
This is how I like it, nothing to lose
All seemed lost
But after the clash I felt refreshed
That was not what I expected
It is out of control and I can't choose my path
But my fire burns on
Please step into my glow
This is how I like it, nothing to lose
Steerless and lost at sea
But a strange thing occurred
I felt free
Energy abound, and since long I got around
The code has been cracked
It is out of control
And colors dancing round my head
There is nothing I can do
Please step into my glow
This is how I like it, nothing to lose
All that I see are purple colors
Dancing in front of me
I'm caught up in an dream
I know now, that love is something that we need
The origin, the base, the seed
I want this dream to become real
It is out of control
And I can't choose my path
But my fire burns on
Please step into my glow
This is how I like it, nothing to lose
6. Lift Off
Adrenaline rises, determine eyes
With my hand I can touch the sky
Like a meteor bouncing back home
That is where I belong
Trembling ground, and melting metal
We're shooting this baby through all dimensions
Brace yourself, here we go
Let's go
Lift off, a tail of fire
Lift off, the engine roars
Lift off, a tail of fire
Lift off, here we go
Higher than anyone has ever bin
When you look up do you think of me
Night and days are melted as on
This is where I belong
No resistance ultra speed
Pave the way so they can make the leap
In orbit and then we're shooting home
Get ready, here we go
Lift off, dazzling speed
Lift off, no room for fears
Lift off, a tail of fire
Lift off, here we go
Lift off, spewing smoke
Lift off, yeah here we go
Lift off, a tail of fire
Lift off, yeah here we go
There is something wrong
Can you see the moon
Out off control
Ooh baby

With my hand I can touch the sky
Like a meteor bouncing back home
That is where I belong
Trembling ground, and melting metal
We're shooting this baby through all dimensions
Brace yourself, here we go
Let's go
Lift off, a tail of fire
Lift off, the engine roars
Lift off, a tail of fire
Lift off, here we go
Higher than anyone has ever bin
When you look up do you think of me

No resistance ultra speed
Pave the way so they can make the leap
In orbit and then we're shooting home
Get ready, here we go

8. Control
We can't go on like this
Show your real face
Break down, that facade
We're not gonna stay this is not the way
Every day is a mountain to climb
But without the view I eschew confrontation
I need a foundation, I am out
The bar is rising
For everyone to see
Took all advice for granted
Didn't want to look
A history of dropouts
How, how did I miss
I slept through the days
A thick mist surrounded my ways
But now, it's time to take control
We're not gonna stay this is not the way
Every day is a mountain to climb
But without the view I eschew confrontation
I need a foundation, I am out
A history of dropouts
Tell me, how did I miss
I slept through the days
A thick mist surrounded my ways
But now it's time to take control
We're not gonna stay this is not the way
Every day is a mountain to climb
But without the view I eschew confrontation
I need a foundation, I am out, I am out
Make the change
Renew your life
Aiming for the top
A call for freedom
Show your real face
Break down, that facade
We're not gonna stay this is not the way
Every day is a mountain to climb
But without the view I eschew confrontation
I need a foundation, I am out
The bar is rising
For everyone to see
Took all advice for granted
Didn't want to look
A history of dropouts
How, how did I miss
I slept through the days
A thick mist surrounded my ways
