Lost at sea without a map Feather stuck in your cap No way out and no way back Waves are talking as they lap Your free as, free as a bird Fly, free as bird Fly, free as a bird Fly, free as a bird Just go and fly around for while Just go and fly around for while Just go and fly around for while, just go Just go and fly around for a while Just go and fly around for a while Just go and fly around for while, just go Just fly, just go, just fly, just go Waiting patient at the station Born into a reputation Bring your child dreams to life Climbing trees to see who's higher Your free as, free as a bird Fly, free as bird Fly, free as a bird Fly, free as a bird Just go and fly around for while Just go and fly around for while Just go and fly around for while, just go Just go and fly around for a while Just go and fly around for a while Just go and fly around for while, just go Just fly, just go, just fly, just go.

Astronaut 02:07
I held my breath for a second time You left here so fast from the ground You're so high now and too high to climb The space between us grows so Come down Come down Come down Come down You're the brightest that I've ever seen before Watching for truths day and night The world that you see is like no one else The space between us grows so Come down Come down Come down Come down

With two feet on the ground Looking at the stars from where i stand Now all i know is here and more Forgotten is the past, now is real i'm sure My mind dreams, it's running fast Would caged love hold or really last All I have is like a flame in the dark Waiting for a spark Waiting for a spark I'll never forget that day Reunited souls back on their way From oceans and worlds apart Roads connecting as we make a start Caught as the world stood still A second was a life, i could feel no ill Give it air, sun and time for now Just go and don't ask how Just go and don't ask how My heart's on the line My heart's on the line My heart's on the line My heart's on the line Someone's never looked so deep before To see what my soul was searching for I was hoping that is spoke to you Even without words it was free and true My mind dreams, it's racing fast Trying to find a place i can be at last All i have is a love to give But it's killing me to live But it's killing me to live My heart's on the line My heart's on the line My heart's on the line My heart's on the line

I'll wait for you to come around At the evening bell the call is sound its time to get out They say its over now but its not for sure When the guns are down and hope is high, i feel you closer They say its over now but they're back for more I'll wait for you to come around If you want to stop this game of lives Then use your ideas for love If you want to stop this game of lies Then use your ideas for love

Stars 03:22
Life comes around Just once for you and I Facing the sky You lay by my side We're holding on the stars to keep this off the ground We're holding on the stars to keep this off the ground Time's running out For the love could subside Patience and light The world is in your eyes We're holding on the stars to keep this off the ground We're holding on the stars to keep this off the ground

Les Silhouettes by Oscar Wilde The sea is flecked with bars of grey, The dull dead wind is out of tune, And like a withered leaf the moon Is blown across the stormy bay. Etched clear upon the pallid sand Lies the black boat: a sailor boy Clambers aboard in careless joy With laughing face and gleaming hand. And overhead the curlews cry, Where through the dusky upland grass The young brown-throated reapers pass, Like silhouettes against the sky.

All You Want 03:29
All you want is love, all you want is now.

Eyes Closed 11:40
Even with my eyes closed I can hear a voice Calling from an angel Telling us to try Even with my eyes closed Even with my eyes closed Even with my eyes closed I can feel true love Running through my veins Keeping us alive Even with my eyes closed Even with my eyes closed Even with my eyes closed I can smell new life Flowering in the springtime Moon is coming over Even with my eyes closed Even with my eyes closed Even with my eyes closed I can taste the rain Clouds are coming over Wash away the pain Even with my eyes closed Even with my eyes closed Even with my eyes closed I can see a light Shining in my mind Ocean by our sides Even with my eyes closed Even with my eyes closed Even with my eyes closed I can hear a voice Calling from an angel Telling us to try Even with my eyes closed Even with my eyes closed Even with my eyes closed

about

This album is a collection of songs that were recorded over the past year and were finally mixed and mastered while living in Morocco and France. The songs recall ideas about connections, space, love and trying to find truth in our existence. Free As A Bird is an album that speaks about my inspiration with Morocco and how it opened my mind and brought me closer to something i was searching for, for a very long time. I hope you find some peace through the albums messages and that it takes you on a nice little journey. Thanks and Salam allayikum.
