lyrics

IF YOU KEEP ON WALKING

A red sun laying on the trees the day
When we talked about future time
A moonlight walk on a distant shore
A different life in a different world

A red moon laying on the trees tonight
Tomorrow I'll stay - tomorrow you'll fly
Fly behind curtains of safety
Away from words full of certainties

University holds our minds
And the City gets our time
But if you keep on walking
Find your promised land

A flock of birds breathing trough clouds
And bells turning fog into sounds
Freedom like a vertical flight
Changing thoughts and even sight

It's hard to leave and hard to stay
'Cause our minds are not so fair
They lock ourselves in a constant fight
They blend the here-now in a dreaming life

University holds our minds
And the City gets our time
But if you keep on walking
Find your promised land

Light is peeping out from behind the trees
Now contradictions seem to be the key
They slide new doors - a path begins
Believe or not in destiny

Last embers on a distant shore
Find room for the sparks of dawn
Live in balance – you said it right
But mediocrity is a dangerous line

University holds our minds
And the City gets our time
But if you keep on walking
Find your promised land
