lyrics

I was searching for
Sacred love and soul enlightening- blues
Do you feel the pain
Worries on your mind
Limiting the game
Working all day through
Always on the move
Never asking why
precious time is passing you by!

But that‘s just history.
Do you believe
That I trust in you
Stay in tune
Rhythm of your soul
Absolute control
a fundamental change
recreate, your higher goals.
High in the sky
I was searching for sacred love
And soul enlightening–blues

You can‘t deny there‘s more to life
You realize, it‘s not this striving for the wrong reasons
It‘s a god given gift to live it, so another way of living,
Your whole world is upside down.
This world is not in one million different non-fitting
puzzle pieces.
Do we learn, we aggressive species?
Time releases
History‘s repeating, watching time go by.
Buying bags, losing weight, doing sports, running late?
But I want to go, I want to go with the flow
Move to the next floor.
Not more car, more house, more cat, more mouse
I‘m reaching out, waiting, or be active,
Set things in perspective, primaries only, perfection
Satisfaction, Jazz-isfaction
Higher, higher – to find compassion
Don‘t wait until tomorrow!

High in the sky
I was searching for sacred love
And soul enlightening blues
Used to feel the pain
Worries on my mind
suffering, complain
The cursed daily grind
Always on the move
Why was I so blind
Never asking why
Precious time was passing by!

But that’s just history
Do you believe
That I trust in you
Stay in tune
Rhythm of your soul
Absolute control.
A fundamental change
Re-define, the higher goals
High in the sky
I was searching for sacred love
And soul enlightening-blues.
