Song 1
This Road
Have I once come to this road?
Oh, yes, I have
I remember the acacia tree
There in full bloom
Have I once seen that hill?
Oh, yes, I have
Look at that white clock tower
Up there
Have I once come to this road?
Oh, yes, I have
I went through it
On a horse-drawn carriage
With my mother on my side
Have I once seen that cloud?
Oh, yes, I have
The hawthorn hangs the branches
Like that day

Song 2
Carrying You
The horizon spreading wide
It’s brightness fills the sky
Why it shines so beautifully?
Because behind it’s where you hide
All the yearing that I feel
for the many lights I see
One day I know we’ll finally see
On it's wings, you and I
Yes, you and I
Let our journey start from here
With a slice of bread you baked
Everything that you’ll need
Is in your bag
All you’ll need to take
My father left for me
This flaming soul I feel
My mother gave to me
This heart with truth I seek
And the earth goes round and round
To the rhythm of your sights
In search of a few island
Just the sparkle of your eyes
So the earth goes round and round
While sailing through the sky
In no time at all shall be found
I will bring you out of your disguide
