about

This is a song about the inner child, who always wants to play. But so often we don't listen to his voice...

lyrics

Little Boy

1. How long have you been solitary e Cmaj7 …
will you understand the way
I feel about you when I see you're
standing here to stay

You know how to play
and how it is to BE
it's not easy to communicate
but we'll find a way you'll see

2. In this trance of duty, in this chase for beauty
I got stuck in the clay
Boy how could I have been so blind
to lose you on the way

You see how I'm going so astray
Your dreams and your wishes show the way

3. I have oppressed you, killed you
tried to bend and chill you for too long
So patiently you're waiting till my trance is fading
I'm glad that you're so strong

I'm so sorry, I've left you in the wind and the rain
So sorry, I was mad to run away
I see a light is coming
I see the time has come
I've tried to be a grown-up
but I know we're one

4. Oh boy I have been feeling anxious
and insecure
Your joy, my inner child, was missing badly
now we take a cure

Come along! We stay on that final day
We don't have to go so far away

Oh the Lord is here, he is not high above
See the Lord is near, awake in highter love

Love and joy
destroy the chains
again we'll be
and see and feel
our heels have wings
to take us to the land
we stand on a ground of love
it's here, it's near, it's now.

"Faszinierend und fesselnd, wie die beiden Kreativmusiker aufeinander abgestimmt sind. Schon nach wenigen Takten wird klar: Hier treffen sich zwei, die voller spontaner Spielfreude sind, und dies auf höchstem musikalischen Niveau!"
