The Apple Tree Tale

I was the apple tree in your backyard
You opened your windows
to say good morning to me every day
And often sat and leaned to me to dream away
You were a little boy
You were a dreamer
I recall your words

“finding a smoother pebble, a prettier shell”

I was the apple tree in your backyard
Your windows were closed when it was snowing
But you were looking through the windows
And whispering to me “Are you happy there ?”
You were a young boy
You were a dreamer
I recall your words

“finding a smoother pebble, a prettier shell
The great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered
before me ”

One day of early summer
You were walking around me
Breathing beautiful air
And the apple fell on the ground
and great discovery came to your mind
You were a young man
You were a dreamer
I recall the moment

“ Oh, my beautiful apple, You showed me the truth
And I will cup you in my hands and give to the world ”

Views from standing on the shoulders of giants

I can see you
how you are in the castle
made of stone and roses
of thousands years old
Only we can feel each other
Only we can love this way

I can see you
how you are in the castle
made of stone roses
of thousands years old
Only we can feel each other
Only we can love this way

Walk side by side
Laugh and laugh
We can see the future
You roar
Along the road

Walk side by side
Laugh and laugh
We can see the future
“Don’t be fooled “
You roar
Along the road

I can see you
how you are in the castle
made of stone roses
of thousands years old
Only we can feel each other
Only we can love this way

I can see you
how you are in the castle
made of stone roses
of thousands years old
Only we can feel each other
Only we can love this way
Only we can
Views from standing
on the shoulders of giants

Can you hear the flowers grow

Can you hear the flowers grow?
Now you hear
Now you don’t
Take your time
Can you see the dreamers roam?

Oh no I can’t believe
I know It’s just a dream
Castles in the air
Lead me to despair
Take my pay
Waste my pay
Nothing left
And That’s every day

Oh no I’m wasting time
I know deep down inside
Magic in the air
I see nothing there
Take my pay
Waste my pay
Nothing left
And That’s every day

Standing at the gate to nowhere
Where the dreamers roam
Building castles in the air
Lead me to despair

Here I am I’m alive
Twenty five
Come inside
It’s my life
Side by side
I feel fine
And you’re mine
Life is fun
Easy come Easy go
Never care ‘bout money
Ring your bell
Blow your horn
Oh let’s whoop it up

Is it real
Can you see what I see
Can you hear what I hear
People lie
People cry
People die
All too much
Don’t do this
Don’t do that
Say you can
Say you will
Blame on me
Shoot me down
That’s all in my mind

Seasons change
Rearrange
People change
Nothing stays the same

Higher the mountain
Harder to reach the top
No way but roundabout
Deeper the valley
Wider the river runs
Farther the other side
Wider the ocean
Harder to reach the land
No easy way to go

Don’t be so silly
The world goes round and round
Things are meant to be

Can you hear the flowers grow?
Now you hear
Now you don’t
Take your time
Hear the season turning turning around
Listen Can you hear
Hear the flowers grow
Seasons change
Rearrange
People change
Nothing stays the same

Standing at the gate to nowhere
Where the dreamers roam
Building castles in the air
Lead me to despair
Left my heart in teenage dream
Where the flowers grow
No more magic in the air
I see nothing there

Here I am I’m alive
Twenty five
Come inside
It’s my life
Side by side
I feel fine
And you’re mine
Life is fun
Easy come
Easy go
Never care ‘bout money
Ring your bell
Blow your horn
Oh let’s whoop it up

Is it real
Can you see what I see
Can you hear what I hear
People lie
People cry
People die
All too much
Don’t do this
Don’t do that
Say you can
Say you will
Blame on me
Shoot me down
That’s all in my mind

Seasons change
Rearrange
People change
Nothing stays the same

I hear the flowers grow
I see the dreamers roam
I hear the flowers grow
I see the dreamers roam

Universal Gravitation

Gravity explains motions of planets
Gravity can not explain who set that
Nature is pleased with simplicity
And Nature is no dummy
Heavenly bodies’ motion I can calculate
Madness of people I can never calculate
Nature is pleased with simplicity
And Nature is no dummy
