Lyrics Being Human / Human Being Katakat ©
A Heart Full Of Love I am longing for a heart full of love I’m giving it a start everyday big things, little things - get in the way oh, she’s been broken but at least I’m aware she’s still there oh, she’s been broken so please, please beware she needs time and care
I am longing for a heart full of love my heart is not a homeless place I am not a hopeless - a hopeless case oh, she’s been broken but at least I’m aware she’s still there oh, she’s been broken so please, please beware she needs time and care a heart full of love
There Is A House my swimming pool is called the ocean my garden is the fields and woods my friends are every man and woman and every street’s my neighborhood there is a house, there is a house, there is a house
1 that feels like home and till I feel it till I feel it I will roam
I know this ain’t reality when I walk out the door but if we really want it this could be what we’re headed for the sky above will be my ceiling the ground beneath will be my floor all the emotions that I’m feeling are washed away here on the shore there is a house, there is a house, there is a house that feels like home and till I feel it till I feel it I will roam
I know this ain’t reality when I walk out the door but if we really want it this could be what we’re headed for
What Love Is I read about it, I felt about it still I’m quite confused in doubt about it, I feel I used her and in her name I’ve been used heard songs about it, that sang they knew and I wanted to believe seems I’d rather have, illusions rule me and then feel deceived is she just a legend a clever fairy tale I feel she’s real but still my skin looks pale
2 oh I wanna find out what love is oh I wanna find out how it feels oh I wanna find out what love is oh I wanna find out how it feels now could it be, I’m too caught up to read between her lines so when you ask me, how I am I’ll just say: I feel fine if I’m locked inside me feels like eternity could she be the key oh I wanna find out what love is oh I wanna find out how it feels oh I wanna find out what love is oh I wanna find out how it feels
Small Steps I look at the mountain seems it looks back at me and says: I’m way too big to climb I’m not your cup of tea I feel small and helpless a tiny spec of dust I’m better off resigning and forget my wanderlust this feeling I have grown it’s something that I own that doesn’t mean it stays so many other ways to see that view small steps will get there too
3 I will tell the mountain that it’s just how I was taught never to think bigger than the cage where you were caught now I walk a rocky road to a new reality in my dreams I saw the mountain bending down for me this feeling I have grown it’s something that I own that doesn’t mean it stays so many other ways to see that view small steps will get there too
Wish You I wish you a brighter day I wish you a lighter shade of grey I wish you shoulders that feel light in the morning
I wish you hands to rest your head no demons at night in bed clean water to quench your thirst but you’ll have to go there first the guts to speak out loud you’ll have to break free from the thought that you can’t get out
I wish you that inner fire igniting your desire to visit that lonely place and face that open space
4 for once speak out loud you’ll have to break free from the thought that you can’t get out
I wish you all
Two Souls here we are, two distant stars that orbit round a long lost love eyes closed tight, they’ve seen enough today could you spare some time, I’ve got a dime for coffee and delicious cake for anything that man can bake for two souls that long to be one two souls that long to be one after all this time get back where we belong will you sing your song with me a broken dream and a broken arrow this battlefield will lift us off our shadow lift us off our shadow to keep the faith, walk on and wait we never really closed the door we figured there’d be something more for us as we cursed and cried, as we lived and died we chose to turn around and stop and dig in what we’ve covered up for two souls that long to be one two souls that long to be one after all this time get back where we belong
5 will you sing your song with me
I Know What You Want we stare into the mirror wondrin’ who we are if we take these steps gently they might take us far
I know what you want, my love I know what I want can we mix it all together I know what you want, my love I know what I want a little bit scary I’m sure cause together could mean less or more will I keep on guessing what my yearning heart is worth is it a match made in heaven or a mess made here on earth
I know what you want, my love I know what I want can we mix it all together I know what you want, my love I know what I want a little bit scary I’m sure cause together could mean less or more
I know what you want and I want it too
6 True To Me well I can’t wait can’t wait anymore but can I be sure they say it’s not too late well it never is but I don’t want to miss myself and live my life but half a new beginning I said it all before it’s not just words I’m ready to explore how does it feel like I’m on my own and carry these stones around but is it real or just an emotion that sets it in motion so strange it’s time to change how can I give you what I haven’t got I first must feel this love in my blood and true to me is what I’m going to be no matter what they offer my heart will show me what I need to see and what I will discover in my new energy
7
Welcome To The World out of nowhere here on earth it’s the miracle of birth call it blessing or destiny call it an act of love for all to see welcome, welcome welcome to the world welcome, welcome feel welcome in this world you decide the steps you take what kind of world you wish to make growing up is what you’ll do to discover becoming you welcome, welcome welcome to the world welcome, welcome feel welcome in this world to be here now be with us now
8 Rosie today is a day with layers of clay and my feet standing still with a beat shaking right to the hill of my soul touching some whole part of what I can be it’s strange to me it’s a new dance with black and with white and with Rosie Rosie, you see I have to let go of something so old that it can only go in peace today is day, got drifted away but now putting it down by giving it up I am looking inside seeing it right where it always was it’s only because it’s a new dance with black and with white and with Rosie Rosie, you see I have to let go of something so old that it can only go in peace there is a wind blowing ‘round this hill there is a thing going ‘round and it fills
9 and it feels like home
On My Way To You in the valley of footsteps through the woods of need over the border of childhood making friends in the city of greed looking for cool clean water in the river of rain and I climb the hillside in the open eye of the hurricane
I am on my way to you I am only passing through and the landscape and all the sights that I see shed a new light on the distance between you and me all across the flatland all the signs I pass in the fields of forsaken I lay down in the evening grass over burning bridges under soothing skies I’m on the road to freedom I don’t know but I feel where it lies
I am on my way to you I am only passing through and the landscape and all the sights that I see shed a new light on the distance between you and me
Here I Stand Before You here I stand before you here I stand before you
10 after all these years here I stand before you and everything we need is here and I can’t close my eyes no more and I am losing the disguise I wore more naked than before I’m standing in the light together evermore like two swans in flight side by side in between what’s coming in between what’s coming and all that’s been the thin line that we walk upon is where we keep our laundry clean and I try not to fight what comes and goes the tears I’ve cried have washed the road clean long ago more naked than before I’m standing in the light together evermore like two swans in flight side by side
The Mainstream I was caught in the mainstream of doing what you’re told to do wherever I was I know not much of me was shining through I was caught in the mainstream of taking the easy way out not giving much thought to all that I bought I sold myself somehow
11 at least I see – it’s getting better to some degree – it’s getting better to make the most of me will set me free am I still caught in the mainstream of keeping inside what you feel of holding on tight with all of your might with your heart locked and sealed to stay away from the mainstream of measuring success by the job that you’ve got and if you’re looking hot and if not then you’re worth less at least I see – it’s getting better to some degree – it’s getting better to make the most of me will set me free
I Wanna Know About You I wanna know about you do you wanna know me I wanna know about you do you wanna know ‘bout me something goes to show in the way our rivers flow start out wild and slow down gradually finally flow together to the sea
I wanna know about you do you wanna know me I wanna know about you do you wanna know ‘bout me I know my lips were sealed
12 in the battle to be real the fingers that are pointed made me see in the end they all point back at me there’s something to gain here without doubt maybe we’ve got something to find out in each other
I wanna know about you do you wanna know ‘bout me
The High Road does it really matter if I remember or not is it a secret I knew and forgot it belongs to the seagulls it belongs to the crows it travels in silence wherever it goes is this the high road or the low road in disguise if I look in the mirror it shows in my eyes the water will rise it shows in my eyes all that we have lived through all that we have shared all that we discovered, we’re still unaware of the biggest picture of the smallest shame of the greatest love that carries your name is this the high road
13 or the low road in disguise if I look in the mirror it shows in my eyes the water will rise it shows in my eyes
Forever And A Day then I opened up my eyes to catch the daylight until I had had my fill and fell back in the night everything I am and all that I’m living all my ups and downs are flowing like the tide and I feel it’s getting better but I fear it’s going wrong now can I embrace my demons with this song is this the golden age that we are digging up through the diesel and the dust and the layers of clay looking for a higher love to last a lifetime yearning for forever forever and a day and I feel it’s getting better but I fear it’s going wrong now can I embrace my demons with this song the wave is a part of the ocean and it doesn’t need to know
14 the wave is a part of the ocean and it doesn’t need to know let it flow
Carried Away I’m carried away, I’m carried away I’m carried away by the sound I’m carried away to a much better place it takes me to higher ground
I’m walking on the water it doesn’t want me to drown my smile feels contagious and I don’t need to play the clown I float a couple of feet above the floor gravity don’t want me down
I’m carried away, I’m carried away I’m carried away by the sound I’m carried away to a much better place it takes me to higher ground where the shadows disappear in another place, I am somewhere else and still here
I sing my words in colors I’m in a symphony it feels as if the others are all connected to me the melody unties these chains and the rhythm sets me free
I’m carried away, I’m carried away I’m carried away by the sound I’m carried away to a much better place
15 it takes me to higher ground I’m still here, I’m still here
Earth I am walking on, I am walking on I am walking on, my feet are feeling you are hard as rock, you are hard as rock you are hard as rock and soft as sand you are telling us, you are telling us you are telling us, I want to listen we are part of, we are part of we are part of you we’re dining at your table we’re living on your floor you give us all you are, so why do we take more
I want to feel you I want to heal you you gave us rhythm gave us groove inviting us to dance I feel your heart I feel your beat now it’s time to move time to move you are feeding us, you are feeding us you are feeding us, but are we grateful you are showing us, you are showing us you are showing us, now can we see
I want to feel you I want to heal you oh mother we feel you
16 we’re a part of you oh mother we love you we’re a part of you
A Little Closer if I move a little closer close enough to touch would you smile and open up or would it be too much if I move a little closer would it feel good to give in to what we were made to feel to the hunger of the skin our bodies come alive this is what it feels like to take a deep, deep dive in love we finally arrive to live the invitation live the celebration of our love if I move a little closer closer to your heart would we grow together more or would we grow apart when I move a little closer to connect to you to feel what it’s really like to walk in each others shoes our bodies come alive this is what it feels like to take a deep, deep dive in love
17 we finally arrive to live the invitation live the celebration of our love
Under My Skin on the outside I’m not shy on the outside I’m an easy going guy but if you would ask me twice you would probably look right through these eyes I found a way to stand upright to pretend I travel light act as if there is no load and this steep mountain is a huge wide open road but in this time of day when darkness finds it’s way and these walls keep closing in under my skin… is it just me and you or could it be that this old world is crazy too where true love is hard to find and if you can’t keep up they’ll leave you far behind and the people that I meet seem so happy on their feet seems they live so easily or do they think the same of me but in this time of day mixed feelings come out to play and these walls keep closing in under my skin
18 Never Over no this is never over no this is never gone long after we’re away from here our love will linger on this is something bigger but just as small as you and me inviting us to step on board and leave the shore and sail for more to whatever the sky wants us to see no this is never over no this is never through the light of love will find a way and pour all over you no this is never over no this is never gone long after we’re away from here our love will linger on the reason why we do this same reason why we can’t we’re all here at the same time and when we disappear we will still be here and I’m happy that I don’t understand no this is never over
I Am Where I Am I am sorry I can’t get out of this I am in the mud, I am in the mist and you are standing there
19 you’re asking me how how is your day you’re asking me – are you, are you okay and I won’t pretend I am where I am and I don’t want to bring this on you and I don’t want to bring this on and yes, I want to get out of this old cave but you, please just go, I’ll be okay I’m shown the way you told me my mud was too much for you you told me your sparkles were gone with my blues you said it with a dark clear voice you asked me deeply – what is your choice you said – I do respect you with the pain you bear I see you try and you are so fair but here is a door let’s open and see something more and I don’t want to bring this on you and I don’t want to bring this on and yes, I want to get out of this old cave but you, please just go, I’ll be okay I’m shown the way
In Circles I lie on my back and I look at the clouds in the sky chasing each other and changing
20 their form passing by as if they are hunted as if they must hurry all day afraid to be caught they are raining their teardrops away
I know if this is what I see somewhere there is a raincloud in me am I moving, running, going in circles like a dog chasing it’s tail am I moving, running, going in circles blowing wind in my own sails blowing wind in my own sails
I am able to slow down and feel why I do what I do there are walls I can break down and walls that I can see through far beyond what I can see there’s a place in the distance and it’s waiting for me
Both Sides Of The Door this is the place and this is the time this is where we kneel for the love that we share and the scars that it bears is this still love what I feel parallel roads parallel lives that go together still as we climb the stairs of our love affair do you still think we always will
21 can you still sense two hearts beating or can’t you hear it anymore two lonely souls quietly screaming on both sides of the door lend me your eyes lend me your hands and hold me tight once more as far as I can see there is no guarantee I’m sure I can’t be sure can you still sense two hearts beating or can’t you hear it anymore two lonely souls quietly screaming on both sides of the door, what did we close it for
Really See You I’ve been looking at your world I wonder how it feels there the more I gaze and I stare the stranger it becomes
I’ve been looking at your world would I be in danger would I feel a stranger if I walked through that door what does it take to really see you how does it feel to meet your soul
22 what does it take to really see you how does it feel to lose control how does it feel to lose
I want to know your world in language and in gesture I’m hoping it so pure I’m curious and scared but what about the past the pieces of my heartbreak of what I give and I take and what I’m holding back what does it take to really see you how does it feel to meet your soul what does it take to really see you how does it feel to lose control how does it feel to lose
Every Act Of Love every act of love raises the vibration of all the energy of the universe all that we forgive makes a better place to live a small miracle occurs ooh every act of love brings down here what’s up above love is always free so what is between you and me if it’s tied it’s something else there’s no right or wrong
23 it may take short or long to find our way back to the well ooh every act of love brings down here what’s up above
Keep It To Myself feels like falling into the abyss and I am scared, I don’t know what this is and I’m used to blaming my other half can I try to keep it, keep it to myself
I know what it feels like to be thrown away to not be heard in what I have to say to see the book of wisdom stuck on the shelf will I take it out on you, or keep it to myself to own your own emotion to own your own pain to feel that inner motion till it never ever comes ‘round again it never comes ‘round again whenever I’m angry, whenever I’m sad whenever I’m longing for what I never had now in my silence it rings a bell will I take it out on you or keep it to myself to own your own emotion to own your own pain to feel that inner motion till it never ever comes ‘round again never comes ‘round again
I’ll try to keep it, keep it to myself
24 I’ll try to keep it, keep it to myself
Better Not To Talk it’s better not to talk and let the silence speak somehow it’s better not to talk and feel what must be felt right now I know a lot of reasons why I’m right this wounded heart is still prepared to fight it’s better not to talk when we don’t listen anyway it’s better not to talk cause really what I want to say is not about the words that leave my mouth it’s all about a soul that is in doubt and I don’t want to wait until the world gives up that’s just not who I am I cherish what I hold and I won’t let it drop cause I do give a damn about us, about our plan it’s better not to talk when the words get in the way of who we really are behind the silly games we play and after all I think we both agree we’re better off on our feet than on our knees
25 Nature I touch the earth, paint the sky like a white, white cloud I fly I feed the wind, I climb the tree I sing the birds and taste the sea
I sit and dance out on the grass as the seasons come to pass winter, spring, summer and fall to taste and see and live it all shower in sunshine, bathe in the rain on top of mountains and on the plains I celebrate the river wide I move along with the tide to sit and dance out on the grass that the seasons come to pass winter, spring, summer and fall to taste and see and live it all
Take This Pain it’s fading away in slow motion end of the day beginning of night it’s between me and the ocean and all the waves that break inside take this pain can I hand it over make it rain make it what it’s always been
26 to taste the salt of the water to touch the sand and feel what’s mine and to drop off what belongs to others shed some light on where the sun don’t shine take this pain can I hand it over make it rain make it what it’s always been
27
