LIGHTER (2018) The light of life This morning you lay by my side Your hair falls gently down your face With one hand you cover your left eye, to hide from the sunlight that streams through the windowpane And I say to myself Let this morning never end Let this morning never end I have to wake you up so you can light me up and I can shine on you with the light of life

8


Put your faith in the light We go through life from cradle to the grave But if it really ends, no one knows for sure Is life a story and nothing real? As the curtain falls, does a new scene appear? What is left when we all stand here, naked? In the light, we are the source that we came from Put your faith in the light! Glory Glory, glory How long is it gonna take for us to go to glory? The river flows and the sun always glows with its eternal flames And you know how to be kind to the cows They tell you their names Here is a newborn day, that you can love and then give away Here is a postcard from ten years ago Now I will send it back to you

9


We hold the light There are songs in the air ”I can be, I can be what I wanna be” And there are stories untold ”Get a hold, get a hold of what you want” So where are you in all of this? I do not know But I know, yes I know, just who I am I am the light between the words And we hold this light We hold the light We glow through the night We shine and vibrate at a much higher rate We hold the light I tell my story and you tell yours Can you remember us, filled up with joy? That is what the light is No one directs us, we go with the flow Sometimes days have gone without anyone here Then light has won and we’ve got a firmer hold We hold the light There are songs in the air And there are stories untold Where are we in all of this? We know, we know just who we are

10


Love me light Come closer to me, I’ve got something to say I loved you tonight and I’ll love you today Is there a reason for me to be shy, when we lie in this cradle of love? We are born to be nature, to be wild So let worries fly away, child We’re not playing only for us We’re playing for the earth to be just Love me light, but please hold me tighter Love me lighter than a feather, softer than a velvet rose Love me light, but please hold me tighter Love me lighter now, put your soft hand on my skin

11


My lightbody is my real body My body is a lightbody You may not see any body But it’s my real body Må glädjen falla över era skuggor Ett glädjefnatt i en städad trapp En ostyrig tunga som vägrar att sjunga En sommar som har vridits ur Må glädjen falla över era skuggor! Your eyes Ladiday, lots of light! There's a lot of light in your eyes! Your eyes are like a pearl at the bottom of the ocean Your eyes are like the sky, clear as a diamond Your mouth, it is red, red as a fire There's a lot of light in your eyes!

12


The sand dune When I was a child my mother put me on a sand dune, so I could look out over the beach Day after day, I watched the ocean waves roll in and crash into the shore Above me the seagulls circled They surely made a lot of noise, but I didn't notice them at all Only the silence I never got up from that sand dune I stayed and I watched Watched the stars and people go by Some squirrels jumped up on my lap They looked deeply into my eyes Then they told me story after story about their lives and about my people You're all really crazy, they said Now I'm here and I take a deep breath I close my eyes, and so ‌ finally, I stand up The sand bugs get very upset They scream at me: "Why do you do this to us?" "We had a shelter, we had a home for our children" "You're crazy, you're bad" Ok, well then, I'll sit down again And I’ll watch the ocean waves roll in and crash into the shore But some day, some day even I have to rise up and go away from this sand dune Be prepared!

13


The sun always shined on TV I went out but came back I've got a song to sing The lyrics are painted on the telly screen They say "the sun always shines on TV" So it is I remember sitting in a big sofa And my family is gathered for a Dallas soiree I saw that the sun always shined on TV The sun always shines on TV So it is I go to bed with a new song to record the next day That day I looked on my computer, you see It said "The sun always shines on TV" is a song by another band The sun always shines on TV A-ha So it is!

14


DARKER (2018) Where the dark river flows We follow the ancient tracks, deep down the valley, to where the dark river flows There, is a mystical place where animals gather That's where it all came about You can't mistake it, the land whispers about it Under the moonlight, bats sweep around Soon, we all come together and watch how the dark river flows Day one Day one You know, my heart has been beating since day one And all my love has been given to everyone that has come in my way, since day one And day one is all there is Now, it's never too late to get back on track, to feel you belong in this world Of course, you do! A strong wind is coming our way and we fear that we may lose control The one we thought we had, but never ever had "A sunbeam to warm you, a moonbeam to charm you, a sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you" I've been saying this to you since day one

15


In the wee hours Sleepless, I lie in my bed during the wee hours Then my invisible friend arrives In the wee hours He calms me, whoever it is Maybe it is my father? Or does he come from the stars, during the wee hours Come here now and rest on my arm Forget about your nightmares When I put my head on your arm, all my nightmares fall away In the wee hours Where do we go when we dream at night? Where do we go in our dreams? In the wee hours of the morning

16


Darkness isn't my cup of tea Come out from the jungle You’ll get a kick out of watching the sun Come out from the darkness I will pull you into the light Yes, into the light Darkness … Darkness isn't my cup of tea 'Cause I wanna feel free So darkness isn't my thing Darkness … There is more to life than misery and darkness And I wanna feel free So darkness isn't my cup of tea What did you believe? Ha! Come out from the dark room Expose yourself to light Get out of the jungle I will drag you out of your night and into the light

17


Happy day Today is my birthday Oh, what a happy day it's gonna be today! What a happy day! There will be roses and birthday presents for me Oh, what a happy day it's gonna be What a happy, happy day! It's my birthday today But tomorrow will be just like any other days An ordinary day, they all look the same I'll wait and wait for that special day to come Then I will be happy and it's gonna be so fun! But today it is my birthday It's gonna be so great What a happy day it's gonna be today What a happy day, oh, what a happy day! What a happy day it's gonna be today!

18


Adorable humans / Härlig är du människa You can be at peace, you know that your face is yours No one sees the world the same way you do We are all alike and at the same time unique You stand out from the crowd just by being as you are Adorable – yes you are! What did you believe? Adorable humans, that's what you are! Adorable humans, you shine in your own way Oh, you humans, you're one of a kind Adorable humans, you shine in your own way Oh, you humans, you should hold your head up high ~ Du kan vara glad, du har ditt ansikte kvar Ingen ser på världen på det sätt just du gör Alla är vi lika, ändå är du unik Skiljer sig från mängden gör vi nog allihop Härlig är du! Hur kunde du tro nåt annat än att härlig är du människa, härlig är du än! Härlig är du, människa Solen är du!

19


The petty thing Darkness is a petty thing in the universe When you take a look at it, it's actually quite neat A tiny little speck that you can hardly see But darkness isn't pretty, if you know what I mean Mr. Nice get angry and cruel to his sister Jane, who feels worthless and get a pain So she bullies Ann Margret at the office Feels a lot of regrets, but the damage is already done It takes some to break an endless chain of pain See through it and you meet a tiny harmless friend All darkness is light I went to a dark place where all things fell apart But I picked up the pieces and put me back together again I had a vision of dark times, coming ahead of us But when I saw my friends laugh, all I could do was smile with them I went down to a dark place, but what I found wasn't true You'd better not believe what your eyes are telling you Darkness is light coming from a mirror And if you don't know what's happening to you, just take a look at where that light is coming from Darkness is light coming from a mirror And at the source, all darkness is light

20


Darker Darker It's getting darker Darker It's getting darker Darker I'm feeling darker Darker I'm feeling darker And still, time is on our side We ride on the wind and glide through the darkness Right through the darkness Into awareness We take our stand in awareness, here and now!

21


Who is your true love? I save my days to say that you can come and get them Now, there is a hole in my heart, so please don't tell me you know me too well I surround you by love, but you don't know my dark side Without blinking an eye, I'm telling you lies so that love will go on Now you say, who is your true love? Because it can't be me, can it? I can't be the one you were looking for The man of your dreams, darling Am I really good enough for you? But all my doubts they vanish when I meet your eyes, dear What a fool I've been, pretending that you looked down on me You have seen through my lies from the very beginning What made me panic, now it's gone in the blink of an eye You say, who is your true love? I say you are my true love Never forget, darling, that you are my true love

22


One day we die Whether we like it or we don't like it, one day we all gonna die Sooner or later, like it or hate it, one day we all gonna die One day we die We return to the earth from which we were taken One day we die We return to the source, back to nature One day we die Don't avoid the void Don't avoid the void A sweet caress from nothingness will heal your broken wings and let you fly to lands of dreams and mysteries again The light entering your eyes, it's coming from within! Be a friend with your nothingness and the darkness loses its ground Every sight and every sound needs emptiness to shine So, don't avoid the void! You are the void, and the void is truly you! Despite the darkness, find your peace

23


The ocean, a story about a whale and a bird I stranded, far away from where it all began Far from innocence and the pure delight for whatever comes about I, a big black whale, was lying on the sandy shore Then a thousand souls came to rescue me Now, I dip my fins again in … the ocean, dark, deep and great Never will I come back to land again I'm back, back where it all began I landed, after thousands miles of endless waves and salty winds On the shore, I rest my wings In the sand – a crater From a fish, or some even greater? In awe, I lift my beak and fly away Back to the place I like the most – the ocean, dark, deep and great Never will I come back to land again I'm back, back where it all began I'm happy, I am free In the water, every need is fulfilled And when I want a friend – I look up! In the sky, with lifted beak, he makes my heart sing the whole week Together we sing this song, and you know what it is about now … the ocean, dark, deep and great Never will we come back to land again We're back, back where it all began

24


DEEPER (2019) I only see love I only see love even though the world has gone mad so bad, but I only see love one day I'll be gone but I'm here right now so why worry when things go wrong soon, I'll be gone but I'm here right now I can't deny it, I'm here, and I am!

25


You are radiant You’re radiant Your heart and being radiate Let's celebrate This life we have, we celebrate Be confident Your star will always radiate You’re radiant Your life and being radiate You will find a place, that is a magic place, where you make miracles You will flap your wings and make everything lucid and evident You're ready now, so ready now, to fly into eternity Just flap your wings, yes, flap your wings Then shine your light on everything You’re radiant Your life and being radiate Now you’ve found a place That is a magic place where you make miracles Nothing is wrong with you This song is for you Know that you’re radiant

26


Deeper in love I’m a seeker of love Let me go deeper in love I’m a seeker of truth Let me go deeper in you Let me go deeper, deeper in love Let me go deeper and deeper in love See me in the eyes Tell me your love is made of gold See me in the eyes A perfect day is a day with you A day will come for us when we see the cause of all our love and we find the path to infinity

27


Tomorrow Life is a journey, all paths lead to the light Love is the key, the door that opens your heart and leads you into the light Go with the light Step into the ever-shining light Go with the light Together, we step into the light Tomorrow will never be the same, never be the same again Tomorrow will change all, forever and ever change us as we go into the light Go with the light Go with the ever-shining light Go with the light Together we step into the light Would never lie to anyone I’d never lie to you We’ll go to the light We’ll go to the ever-shining light We’ll go to the light Together we will go to the light

28


The shift Sober up, my dear, it's time Leave your sorrows behind Face the sun What's been holding you down? Won't believe the lies again Those we all believed in Wake up, dear, it's time to go Far from your old feelings Let's go out in nature's beauty, to find the spots that soothe you and create a heart that sings We make love in nature's beauty We find the spots that soothe us and create a heart that sings Now we prepare for a major shift in love and in perception Then our light will hit the fan We spread the light of freedom No more will we need the sun We shine our light together Now come, sit down, join the peace Sorrows? Never ever!

29


Through the apple door I walked through the apple door, I have inside of me I laid off my cap and made an emotional plea to be as human as a human can be I’ve been wondering what my life task might be Finally, it dawned on me … why ask for even more? I’m just as human as a human can be! Like a bolt from the blue, my mind became still Strolling down the avenue with my head high, I’m as human as a human can be When you say "this won't last for long", I must give you a smile Only you will know when you're as human as a human can be I reached out for the sun, but the sun was in my heart Aho! The sun is in my heart You cured me with your love Now, love is everywhere I look Aho! Love is all around I've gone through the apple door to meet you I've gone through the apple door to greet my love Through the apple door This could be the end of the story, my friend But I have some last words for you: In your apple, there are seeds to make a tree In your apple, there are seeds to make a tree In your apple, there are seeds to make you free

30


Building bridges This is what life was meant for, what I came here to do You can call it my faith, bro, to be bridging love and war I’ve found a new beginning, deep down in my roots Now, people of all kinds start to tear down all their walls, bridging love and war Be a heart in a heartless world Then you will find your inner peace Be a friend, this time is right, to build bridges that unite Build the bridges Build them strong and tall, so they never fall Build the bridges Take down the walls Take down the walls

31


Find my way to love I think I have all that I need, but I don’t understand why it took me so long to find my way to love Find my way to love Maybe I was too shy to come forward and reach my hand to you, my only love Now, you’re my only love You gripped my hand and touched my soul, when blaming myself for being cold and without love – a reckless fool Now I have what I need, but I don’t understand why it took me so long to find my way to love Find my way to love

32


In deep water You’re in deep water, you’d better come home Start to swim now or you will drown in the open sea I’ve tried to warn her, she never listens up She does what she wants and she never gives up That girl never stops I’ve never been afraid to dive into a calm and warm forest lake But if the horizon never ends, I will only dip a toe Please just do so! You’re in deep water, you’d better come home Start to swim now or you will drown in the open sea You found your haven, you’re safe and sound The middle way is the proper way to flow and not to go astray

33


Be easy on yourself Be easy on yourself, be easy on others Take my hand, I invite you to dance Yes, life is a dance Let’s swing together Soon, we’ll go from one stage to another Sense the stir of a breeze Feel the sun on your wings Let the light dance on you and warm you deep inside Be easy on yourself, be easy on others Take my hand, I invite you to dance Feel the light shine on you Feel the breeze kiss your cheek Feel the sun on your wings Feel the feeling of being alive My friends are all I have I still believe you and always will I still believe in you, I always will When a star falls, I wish a new for you When heaven falls, I'm there for you You're my friends My friends are all I have They still believe in me, after all A moment together is worth the while My friends are all I have

34


Tänk om (2019) Ta tag i din mänsklighet Ta tag i din mänsklighet Kom upp från ditt hål Visa din känslighet Med vilja av stål Du klarar att ändra dig Du klarar av allt Ta tag i din mänsklighet Byt sockret mot salt Förtrollad av allting nytt Men där bakom har känslan grytt Att ta tag i min mänsklighet – för svårt, har det mig tyckts För krångligt och omständligt är det att byta det här, bara till en ny chimär Ta tag i din mänsklighet Kom upp från ditt hål Visa din känslighet Med vilja av stål

35


Tänk om, gör om och gör det bra Vi har köpt upp det sista av vår lott och är på väg att mista vår jord, vårt slott Men än finns det tid Må det bära eller brista Det här är inte det sista du hör från oss Tänk om, gör om och gör det bra Jag vet, ni har hört det här till leda Men en annan värld är möjlig att förbereda Med små varsamma steg öppnar vi upp för mer och naturen själv bär oss fram på en våg Den säger: Tänk om, gör om och gör det bra

36


Tänk dig en värld i frihet Tänk dig en värld i frihet Där alla passar in Ingen strider och hånas Där man kan känna sig fri Tänk dig att alla människor finner harmoni Du säger väl jag drömmer, men vi är många nu som ser mål och mening att jorden blir en, att jorden blir hel Var finns det några gränser när vi flyger över land? Tänk dig folk som ler, skrattar och tar i hand Tänk dig att allt är enkelt Om vi bara vill Du säger att jag drömmer Men vi blir fler och fler som tar vår dröm till vardan och ser vår jord som en Tänk dig en värld i tillit till vår egen kraft, att förändra vårt inre utan någon högre makt Tänk dig, och låt den drömmen fylla upp ditt liv! Ja, du säger jag drömmer Det har du så rätt i Vår värld är byggd av drömmar och nu drömmer vi den fri

37


En liten melodi Jag har en liten melodi som har kommit till mig En liten melodi Den gör mig fri En liten melodi som jag sjunger för dig Sjunger för dig En liten sång Den gör mig fri Varje gång jag sjunger på min melodi så tänker jag på dig Det är för dig jag känner mig fri Du gör mig glad Du gör mig fri Du gör mig hel En liten sång En liten sång är du Alla dessa dagar kom och du var där och jag var där Alla dessa dagar kom

38


Vem vågar säga nåt-visan Vem vågar trotsa de vågor som skölja över oss, över oss? Vem vågar slipa de liar som skära till brödet vårt, till brödet vårt? Vem vågar stanna i gryningens hamn och bli utan fångst, utan fångst? Vem vågar bota, när häxor bränns? Väl ingen alls, ingen alls När ska ni höja de röster som viskar tyst till oss, tyst till oss? Vem vågar säga det makten förtiga? Stilla oss, de vill stilla oss Snart blir natten fullkomligt svart därför att, därför att ingen vågar säga ett skvatt Allt gör halt, då gör allt halt! När de säger ”å, vad ni går på” Ja, då så bara fortsätt så! Det borde vara lätt att fatta … när vi aldrig säger nåt så tappar vi vår röst! Ditt leende gör min dag

(2014)

Spelet är över, nu väntar en tid när vad jag behöver är mer ljus och frid Spelet är över, men allt är sig likt Så kom och håll om mig, här där jag står Ditt ljus ledde mig hit Ditt leende gör min dag Ditt fina leende gör mig så glad!

39


Solkristaller

(2012)

Visste du att du är vacker, vacker så det räcker, räcker och blir över? Vad gör det vad alla tänker? När solens strålar blänker, döljs ju alla felen Solen, stjärnorna och molnen bildar alla formen som vi sjunker in i Nog visste du att du är vacker, vacker så det räcker, räcker och blir över? Vi är solkristaller, solkristaller! You are light! Solvind, kärleksvind

(2012)

Stjärna, stjärna du är en stjärna som blinkar till mig på himlens rund Gärna, gärna du får mig värma Så kom nu till mig en liten stund Solvind, solvind Här får du en puss på din kind Blås mig hem med din Kärleksvind

40


Håll om mig Vill du hjälpa mig med en liten sak Vill du hjälpa mig? Det tar inte lång tid, jag lovar dig Ingen tid tar det alls Jag har sökt länge efter dig och nu står du framför mig Tiden stannar när jag ber dig: Håll om mig och håll om mig hårt nu när allt känns svårt Dina andetag, som jag känner nu, kommer nära mig Du håller om mig, jag känner det, du är nära nu Och vi snurrar runt i en cirkel, bara du och jag Alla tankar stannar för en stund Håll om mig och håll om mig hårt! Allt känns svårt När vi skiljs åt är vi vänner, fast jag ville mer Men värmen som jag var i ligger kvar, djupt där inom mig Snart så skingras allt för vinden, ingenting blir kvar Bara minnet av vad jag bad dig om: Håll om mig och håll om mig hårt nu när allt känns svårt

41


Sanningen är svår att finna Var håller stjärnorna till under dagen? Vem målar himlen blå, kan du förstå? Såklart är du klokare än vad jag nånsin kan bli, men nu är jag nyfiken i en strut och vill veta mer Var kommer maten från, den på bordet? Vem för dess talan, vem får sista ordet? Såklart är du klokare än vad jag nånsin blir, men en sak vet jag mer än dig, fast orden stockar sig Vadå? jo, sanningen är sannerligen rätt svår att finna!

42


Befria djuren (2017) Låt djuren va Låt djuren va Är du med och stöder slaveriet? Låt djuren va De mår bättre av att vara fria Tänk på din nästa och din näst-nästa Livet kan festa eller bara förpesta Grunden är dina beslut Är de genomtänkt fina eller ger de andra bara pina? Kanske du skyddar dina åsikter väl och argumenterar på ett trovärdigt sätt Men en sak är att ha rätt, en annan att se in i de ögon man snart släcker ner

43


Medvetet Medvetet är gräset som du går uppå Medveten är spindeln, som väver och står på Medvetna är alla, men alla kan ändå inte förstå att vi är här på jorden för att lära oss att älska stor och små Medveten är solen, som värmer våran jord Medvetna är djuren, de känner allt vi gör och våra ord Så tänk på vad som kommer både ut från och in i dig Då får du inte heller några ovänner på stigen framför dig Medvetet är valet vi alla står inför Att våga vara udda, när många vill dra för gardinerna och gömma sig för världen som finns där utanför Men vi är här på jorden för att lära oss att älska Det hoppas jag du gör! Växla om Tänk på dem som inte kan välja nånting i sin dag Allting blir bara serverat, samma sak var dag Vem vill ha ett sådant liv och trängas i en bur? Vem vill äta samma mat och behandlas som ett djur? Tänk på att vad du gör förändrar alla runt omkring Och att din roll i världen faktiskt spelar en viktig roll Växla om! Växla om till Kärleken som sjunger inom dig Den sjunger inom dig!

44


Djurens vänner Vi vill vara med och förändra världen Ändra färden till det bättre Vi vill göra skillnad för andra varelser Andra har det så mycket sämre Varje dag är ett val där du igen sätter nya frön och plantor Du tänker ”ingen ser”, men det är så mycket mer än vad man tror som händer under våra ytor Gläd nån annan och du gläder dig själv Tillsammans gör vi det som ingen trodde var möjligt En värld där även de minsta får plats Där vi tänker på att alla vara djurens vänner Frågor pågår Sätt dig i sitsen på det djur du ska stoppa in i munnen Vilken var tanken när du stod i charken och tittade på korven? Tänkte du ”vad gott det skulle va i kväll” eller ”hur ska jag vara för att vara snäll”? Hur kan du säga du är snäll när du äter djur? Hur kan du säga du är snäll? Vad tar du dig för rätt när du sätter ett spett i en gris? Hur kan du va trovärdig när munnen är fylld utav död? Frågor pågår …

45


Breäckligt Breäckligt, det är smöret som härsknar mycket lätt Ingrediensen ångest gör dig jättemätt på hur naturen skändas när människan ska få sitt och kalven den får inget av mammans kärleks-vitt Breäckligt, det är smöret som härsknar mycket lätt Och härsknar det gör vi med, och därför går vi med i Djurens rätt Bre din smörgås med vett Kanske är olivolja för dig rätt? Eller varför ej utan någonting alls, det är helt ok! Djuren ska ha kul Djuren ska ha kul, inte springa runt och runt på cirkus Djuren ska ha kul, med massor utav lek och bus Kom och hoppa runt i gyttjan på savannen Befria elefanten i dig med detsamma! Djuren ska va fria, inte sitta i nån bur, nej! Djuren ska va fria, skutta runt och leka ”ta-mej-ej” Kom och hoppa runt bland grenarna i träden Vi behöver inga kedjor eller kläder!

46


Det femstjärniga hotellet Du lever på ett femstjärnigt hotell, men i källaren händer saker varje kväll I frysen ligger stela kroppar som väntar på att serveras på fat till finklädda gäster som läst i 20 år till advokat Vid bordet hörs det plötsligt ett kras En tand har gått sönder och det trillar ner en vas En nummerbricka ligger i hans mun Det är djurets namn han tuggat på och frun och advokaten lämnar sitt bord i all hast Plötsligt springer 15 kossor in De river ner allting och dricker det vin som gäster i panik har lämnat På mattan de markerar sitt revir Vårt femstjärniga hotell är en ruin Kossorna och grisarna har fått nog Vänta dig besök om du äger en krog

47


Befria djuren Det är härligt att ha päls Dag och natt gå runt i päls Inne, ute, klädd i päls Det är härligt att ha päls Men du måste vara ekorre förstås, för att detta ska kunna förstås Det är härligt att ha svans. Lång och luden, ger balans Bra som täcke är en svans Det är härligt att ha svans Men du måste vara ekorre förstås, för att detta ska kunna förstås Befria djuren! Ge oss tillbaka naturen! ~ It is nice to have a fur Day and night I'm dressed in fur Indoors, outdoors, dressed in fur It is so nice to have a fur But you must be a squirrel, we demand! So you can know and understand It is so nice to have a tail Long and furry, gives you style You sleep beneath your tail all-day It is so nice to have a tail But you must be a squirrel, we demand!

Mamma Ko Natten lägrar sig över stad och land På bondgården ligger djuren utan någon halm Ingen tröstar en mamma utan sin kalv Inget ljud kom från ropen när kniven la an Men en liten pojke på bondgården såg hur ur mammans ögon det kom en tår Han skyndade fram och la sin hand på mammans nacke och strök den med sin hand ”Varför gråter du, mamma Ko?” ”För mitt barn! De vill ta mitt barns näring ut från min barm Hur kan de göra så? Hur kan de vara så grymma mot en ko?” Morronen kommer På ett fuktigt golv en ko sover med ett barn ovanpå I huset intill gör pojkens mamma frukost åt sina små barn Veganchoklad Börja dagen med veganchoklad Den sätter ett leende på mig och jag blir glad Knaprigt gott, ja det ska livet va’ Så länge jag lever kommer jag att äta choklad Veganchoklad, livet det går vidare Vegan är jag, annars blir ju djuren lidande

En vit vego jul Koppla din dator till din teve och sätt på din mobil Å, vad du mår bra nu Nu kan julen komma På tevens skärm de vädret spår De önskar en vit jul och ett gott nytt år Men med dödad gris och klimatkris blir det en grå död jul och ett grått nytt år Ho, ho … en grå död jul och ett grått nytt år Av tomtefar finns bara kvar flamskyddsmedlet i askan från hans skägg och hår Han brann upp under resans lopp, bränd och förgiftad på skorstenarnas topp Av oljespill vår plastgran blivit till Det blir en grå död jul och ett grått nytt år Fast vi hoppas väl ändå på ett underverk – en vego vit jul och ekorren i särk! Ho, ho … en vego vit jul och ett gott nytt år! Koppla ur datorn och din teve Stäng av din mobil Å, vad du mår bra nu Nu kan julen komma!

Dancing on the New Earth We're dancing on the New Earth Dancing on the New Earth We’re the very first to be dancing on the New Earth We are all reconnecting to the source that is waking us up from our deep slumber Now we are kicking our shoes off and are letting our bare feet dancing I am a starseed, yes I am! I am a starseed, yes I am I bring light from cosmos to your little world In darker times, I am the remedy I am a starseed, yes I am “I am a lightworker” – yes you are! I bring light to earth from our little star In darker times, I am the remedy I am a lightworker, yes I am! We hold and anchor light from the space I can see it glimmers deep in your eyes Let’s shine together and work as one Let’s spread our light all over the world When the time has come, we get up to the sky We hang around with Jesus, Buddha and Quan Yin We live as one in love and harmony, ‘cause we are all starseeds, you and me

53


Plant a seed Plant a seed and there's a tree tomorrow We plant a dream and it grows on forever Start before the fall arrives, then life prepares for winter's sleep Under the blanket of forgetfulness we make our dreams come true In the spring we begin anew We spread the seeds for tomorrow's trees They will keep our dreams alive, forever Stand tall! Something extraordinary happened to me I’ve lost the worries and the restlessness in my heart Can someone explain what has happened, please? Suddenly there is so much peace I’m unaffected by the strongest winds The coldest breezes make me laugh at the stars And when the fear comes, I stare into its face and all I do is just stand tall Stand tall, stand tall, stand tall! When the world falls apart, it’s then that the fun begins and the new life starts Stand tall, stand tall, stand tall! And you know, when you fall, there’s always someone to catch you and bring you home Just do stand tall!

It doesn't matter if you're still not there You've been cracking the wall of your fear It may still be a long way to go, but you've been starting a journey, dear By cracking the wall of your fear, you will soon tear it down all the way Hold on, little star child, hold on Hold on, and keep on shine

It’s so easy to find your own heart’s mind When you first came to me, I prayed you wouldn’t leave too soon You stayed, and you cared for me I couldn’t have asked for more Then suddenly a voice appeared It told me, so strangely dear, that all I’ve gone through, with you, was just a dream in my heart Put your mind in your heart and put your heart in your mind Let your heartbeats start to recognize all your thoughts

57


Love, kisses, caresses love, kisses and caresses they surely will take you all the way when you fall asleep at night the sun loses its shine but you always come back again, knowing that you are the one for me love, smiles, kisses, caresses I’m completely uninterested in other things no one can tell why it is so good to be near you this afternoon maybe it has something to do with the moon? now you are deep in sleep and your eyes are closed for sure but I can see a smile next morning you look at me still smiling at me

We are all made of love

(2013)

I could need some love, my friend I could need some sweet, sweet loving But without your love I'll still be standing by my faith, that love is never ending Without your love, I'll still be standing by your side, with the love we're all made of The love we are made of We are all made of love The love we are made for We are all made for love Love has the key Love has the key, the Golden Key, to where we all want to be

60


The Event is heaven-sent The Event it is heaven-sent, heaven-sent, heaven-sent The Event it is heaven-sent, heaven-sent, heaven-sent The life on earth was heaven-sent, heaven-sent, heaven-sent But now it’s time to go my friends Mother Gaia she ascends We’ll go to where the horizon ends All the way, all the way We’ll go above Orion’s belt and far above, far above You’ll never know, you’ll never know when we finally will leave As you can never know for sure why it is you are here But don’t be afraid when the wave comes ashore It will leave you content and with a beautiful smile!

61


Spontaneous When you’re full of fear and don’t know if you dare to get through to the other side Then all you have to do, to make it come true, is to repeat this over and over again: Spontaneous, I want to be spontaneous! When you need love and don’t know if you have the strength to get on by Then all you have to do, to make your love come true, is to repeat this over and over again: Spontaneous, I want to be spontaneous! I wanna play, I wanna be free and live spontaneously I wanna play, I wanna be free! Let’s fly across the universe The stars are out tonight Their light will never go out I drink my cup of tea and the leaves they say something to me Let’s fly across the universe and shine our light and live right from our hearts There is no time There is no reason to be afraid There’s only this miracle of light of us

Songs for you and the New Earth (2017) Get a friend from another star We are love We put rainbows in the clouds Singing songs of peace, we’re joyfully assisting the earth All you Gaia souls – now synchronize! To the level of eternal light – ascend! Now prepare for the great return Get a friend from another star Be sure we were never far from each other We reach out with love With a friend from another star, we are surely never far away from each other We all reach out with love The wind and the sun Blow with the wind Blow out in the blue Flow with the sky that is you Stay with the sun till it sets and has gone, down to the world underground It all began with a smile on your face Our eyes met, you were the one, heaven's grace! So often these stories are made up, I know But ours is true, no doubt it is so! Now this is no story about human affairs It's cosmic – I am the wind, and you're a star I look up to you and you just keep on shining Our love is unconditional love! We are the wind and the sun!

Tio djupa andetag

(2014)

Andas djupt en stund, djupt en stund och blunda … Andas djupt en stund Du är här! Det blir bättre när du tar tio djupa andetag Väck din glädje och din dag med tio djupa andetag När du kommer hem till mig Ditt såriga hjärta, kom så ska jag läka det Ditt snåriga sinne, kom så ska jag fläta det Det tar tid att läka och bli hel Tänk bara att aldrig någonsin något varit fel När du kommer hem till mig ska jag hålla dig tills våra hjärtan slår ihop När du kommer hem till mig ska vi sitta tyst och känna in varandra Ditt helade hjärta sprider ett sånt vackert ljus Ditt samlade sinne gör att vi förenar oss

64


Jag älskar Kärleken Hon sa: ”Vem vill du ha, mig eller någon annan?” Jag sa: ”Det är inte så som min hjärna fungerar” ”För det är faktiskt så här att, du … jag älskar kärlek, älskar Kärleken!” ”Men jag är inte den som är den Jag är faktiskt en som vill vara din vän!” Bara du Längtan till verklighet Från ensamhet till gemenskapen Skingra min längtan Ge mig tro på nytt igen Ändå – vi går här hand i hand Ändå – fingrarna silar sand Bara du kan få mig hel igen Bara du kan se igenom mig Vad vill du innerst inne, får jag höra nu? The asian dream squirrel A friend comes to me in my darkest moments It’s a squirrel that helps me find myself Up in the tree it sits and look down on me It is never bothered by anything It’s so wise, it’s so beautiful! I think it’s an asian dream squirrel An asian dream squirrel it is!

Be free from the Grand Illusion Be free from the Grand Illusion Let your shackles fall Love, invade my heart! Grow a bigger heart Well you know, I’ve got the strangest feeling The way we live now, it can't go on We are still caught up in the wheel of karma When we should be ready and prepared They say a new world of light is coming It feels so right, show me the way! I love you all, but have to leave any day now A big farewell, hugs to you all! In any year, or any day soon, the New Earth is taking me from here If you stay, hard days are coming ‌ indeed! But the squirrels will guide you all on the other side Let's do it! Let your heart grow bigger Grow a bigger heart Let's embrace our Earth and make a brand new start!

Andra låttexter (i bokstavsordning) A beautiful day It's a beautiful day today My heart goes boom tiddely boom boom boom It's a beautiful day today I think I'm going out to play! Did you know the sun is shining even if it is behind the clouds? Can you see the light within you even if it seems a little dark now? A day without tree climbing is not a very good day A day without tree climbing is not a very good day To freely swing among the branches makes you strong, it makes you happy [and if you don’t do that:] You won't learn the consequences of your actions You won't know the probabilities of falling You are born to this earth to sing its song and to walk it carefully But the wind is strong, so you better watch out A storm is coming … is it heading our way?

A friendly world

(2013)

The squirrels are coming to you in the dreams tonight They teach you the mysteries of life and death; how to be friendly; to care in a careless world and how to not get stuck in a daily routine In a friendly world, we listen to our inner squirrel It tells us to be happy with what we've got We have to take care to build a friendly world In a friendly world, we care

70


An innocent heart of pure love Wake up now, my dear Because if you don't, the day won't be Be prepared to go in half an hour, to get your breakfast meal But before you go to play out there, there's one thing you should know You’d better keep this in your mind whatever you will do An innocent heart of pure love, you have, and everyone's got A beautiful heart of pure love – you'd better stick with that! And though it's pure, it sometimes lures you into all sorts of games the mind plays – to satisfy the bodily needs that's doomed to always be unfulfilled But, an innocent heart of pure love, you have, and everyone's got!

71


Anthill

(2013)

Until now, yes until now, the ants have been working on the anthill – so! Until now, on the anthill – so! But now it's gone Gone, gone, gone with the wind – so gone! The ants are gone and the needles are gone So the ants have to build their anthill up They build their anthill up again Until the wind comes again and blows all ants and needles away It is a hard and difficult job to be a worker ant!

A random act of squirrelness

(2012)

We all want perfect weather, each and every day Join the sunshine of your heart That will ease the pain No one can force you to be dull Listen to the call of the squirrel in your heart That's the best for all A random act of squirrelness will heal the earth from the mess people have made in the name of progress A world for each and every one What if I was close to you, but with a different meaning – like sharing thoughts, sharing life, with each and every breathing Life is hard to understand, and there's so much suffering To be a part of every dance creates life experience A world for each and every one We have only one earth, so show that you care and share what's been given by nature's love So life can flourish and we all live happily

Baby squirrel song Born on a lotus flower, fresh as the morning wind This little baby squirrel's journey has just begun Just one day old, but a day can be long when you’re small in an unknown world What is behind those petals I see? What is so fun with trees? Questions like these will soon arise, but now there is only peace and a lot of rest at mummy's breast for a little baby squirrel Becoming who you are Becoming, becoming, becoming who you are What is a butterfly if it never flies? Becoming, becoming, becoming who you are Listen to the silence, listen to your heart Sometimes it's hard, yet, you’d better try it Becoming, becoming, becoming who you are Tiny brittle wings easily catch the wind But how to uplift yourself? All things, known to me, are safe here on the ground From branch to branch and flower to flower Get the nectar that life provides you with! From tree to tree, from flower to flower Unlost and found at last

74


Be kind to the animals

(2014)

Be kind to the animals Be kind to them, otherwise, you will hurt yourself Be kind to the animals Kindly now, be a little wise and set them free It doesn't matter if you're a zebra or dog, a human or a little squirrel We’ve all got senses and a will of our own, to fully live life without fear Understand this: That every creature on earth, in their own way and with deep concern, now let humans know their big mistake – to take more than what's been given to them It doesn't matter if you're small like a mouse or an elephant, big as a house We’ve all got minds, and they tell us the same – to fully live like it's our last time on earth! So, be kind to the animals Be kind to them, otherwise, you will hurt yourself Be kind to the animals Remember, you are one yourself!

75


Be love, unlimited love Come on, people of the universe Feed the hungry and quench their thirst Love will conquer all angry men and stop the fightings among them Social injustice is not good for you Even the rich men suffer, yes, they do! But we can take the shovel and dig where we stand We can make humanity rise from the ground Be love, unlimited love Be love, unlimited and free! Be nature Give me the truth, I will die if you don’t give me the truth! Just be what you are Be nature! Be what you are, you are already nature It doesn’t matter how you look in your face – no! Just be kind to your fellow neighbor She is a part of you, and like you, she's a creature So come on, be what you already are: A flower of compassion, a burning star!

76

Every little squirrel on the earth, now come and unite! There is room for all of us in this paradise Have you seen a smiling squirrel face, then you know it all Tons of nuts are falling from the sky and I don't know why Bowing to beautiful emptiness We, forgotten words Who resides within me?

Diamanten håll hoppet uppe tappa inte taget om den glädje som du funnit har varför ändra på nånting som duger och kan göra att din dag blir bra ingenting blir nånsin som förut, men du är den du är allt kan plötsligen och snabbt ta slut, men du är den du är i jakten på den försvunna diamanten … är du diamanten, klarhetskonstanten, den öppna kanten emot branten där lögnerna faller av Die to yourself Die, die, die to yourself To the self that you are Don’t try to not cry Wipe away all your tears Why do you fill your life with wishful thinking and hope for the light to come? You are awake right here, in the midst of everything In what happens to us all

Djur och människor Djur och människor Människor och djur – delar samma jord, är del i samma hjord Sedan tidernas begynnelse har människan ställt sig bredvid och använt, plundrat och tagit sig an sina vänner i rum och tid Allt färre arter har blivit kvar, som kämpar i motvind och trängsel I soporna från en arts bekvämligheter skapas enfald och blir förföljelse norm Men vad du gör, gör skillnad! Vem du är, är betydande för djur och människor

81


Don't be afraid of the elephants Don't be afraid of the elephants They place their feet so gently on the ground that not even a leaf is crushed Beautiful creatures witnessing life in every corner of the world In all shapes and colors, life goes on, for no other reason than to evolve So, remember ‌ You are an animal and I am an animal We are animal friends! Don't be afraid of the animals If they yell in the night, they do so to defend themselves Don't be afraid of people They could look so mean, but inside them there's a little squirrel who wants to come out You are an animal and I am an animal We are animal friends!

82


Don't believe the world When you come from work there's a laptop on your desk. It tells you you're a nice friend, it tells you you're the best. Suddenly the screen turns black and all is gone. You’d better turn the TV on, just to not feel so alone! All your thoughts are fooling you Don't believe what they tell about you All the thoughts are fooling you Don't believe a word, don't believe the world Investigate, investigate the ”I-question” Questioning, questioning: ”Who am I?” This is my elbow – that is your knee This is a stone – that is a tree This is a caterpillar – that is a little squirrel That is this and this is that What you take for real can be like food without a meal What you take for real can be a banana peel

83


Don't go to the circus We are all animals Would you ever put yourself in a cage? To live a natural life in the wild is every creatures right – the Earth's law Don't go to the circus! They harm animals in there and make us laugh at them – so don't go there! Don't go to the circus! They treat them like slaves for their entire life, and make us think that they like what they do to them But the animals are like us – they are us! It's time for us to free our mind, to unschool They've tamed us to behave like fools To live a natural life, it's Earth's law! So now open up the cages and run for your life!

84


Don't wait for love to come your way If you're out there, looking for something But you don't even know what to look for – Don't wait for love to come your way Put it in motion! I am a human being A conscious animal The worldly show before our eyes we tend to believe is true, though it's just an illusion Can I sit here, next to you? Must say, I'm a tad alone But close to you my friend, I can feel a little love Don't wait for love to come your way So the next time you are out there, my friend And you wait and you look, then remember ‌ what you seek has been here all along!

Du bor i en annan värld, men jag bor ju i samma Brinn, hjärtats brand, när din illusion försvann blev du en flamma Vart du nu än går så ska Kärlek stå på din panna Brinn, Kärleksbrand, vi ska finna Samarkand bland allt det fallna Staden som du bor i kommer lyfta sig mot himlen och där stanna Se på ditt liv! Är det nån skillnad mot de andras? De andra är samma som vi På samma stig vandrar vi alla Vi har varandra, har varann att hålla oss vid Du bor i en annan värld, men jag bor ju i samma Brinn, hjärtats brand Tänk om allting är precis som det ska vara Alla gamla lögner ber vi snällt men bestämt flyga och fara

87


Du finns hos mig För den som letat länge finns alltid nya svar och saker att begrunda på frågan vem vi är Men den som ser på djupet förstår snart inom kort att svaret kommer till dig när frågan plockas bort Vid mitt första andetag fanns du hos mig När sista sucken kommer finns du hos mig Du finns hos mig!

Du är fjäril / You are butterfly

(2012)

Längesen jag såg dig och nu är du som förvandlad till en blåvinge som flyger över ängarna Vild i hjärtat, fäst vid jorden Blicken höjd mot stjärnorna Sköra vingar hastigt slår över ängarna Du är vacker, du är vacker du Du är fjäril, du är fjäril nu ~ Long time since I last saw you The transformation has begun into a tiny work of art, dancing the meadows, so green Small feet firmly on the ground, but she keeps the eyes towards the stars Brittle wings beat light and fast over the meadows, so lush You are beautiful, oh, so beautiful now! You are butterfly, yes, a butterfly now You are a butterfly now!

Ekorre-mors vaggvisa När en ekorre-mor nattar barnen ser hon till att de små sover tätt intill sin mor Alla faror som lurar i mörkret får ej störa vår vilas ro Våra drömmar är fyllda av frihet och en tillit att allt är precis som det ska va Inga träd är för höga och svåra Inga nötter för hårda då Lugnt sover barnen i granens bo Mamman hon vakar mot djurens rov Imorgon blir säkert ett äventyr Vi upptäcker snart, snart blir världen ny

Ekorrn satt i granen Ekorrn satt i granen, men nu har den huggits ned Ekorrn satt i granen, men nu finns den inte mer Den har blivit pappersmassa till en tidning där 93 % är elektronikreklam Resten den är kvar för att du ska bli dopad av skrämsel, snyftreportage, kändisar och sport Ekorrn satt i granen, skogarna är borta Jorden slutar andas, sen finns du inte mer En ny och modigare värld

(2015)

När ska världen börja se, öppna ögonen och le? Tänka: ”Jag är vacker än. Jag är Kärleken” För vi hoppas och tror på den, trots allt Låt oss mötas utan rädsla i en ny och brokigare värld Låt oss mötas utan rädsla för en ny och modigare värld För himlens ljus det onda är ett sandkorn på en strand Så låt dig inte följas med mot illusionens brant Nej, låt oss mötas utan rädsla för en ny och modigare värld Vi hoppas och tror den kan bli sann

Endless love Everywhere I can see, everywhere around me, there is love, there is love Everywhere around me, there is love! In the sky, in the sea, everywhere around us In the woods, in the trees, everywhere around me, there is love, there is love Everywhere around us, there is love! Endless love, endless love! Who can ever feel lonely when there's only love, only love, for everyone to tap into So, tap into it, tap into it, you, too! End the story

(2013)

End the story and begin a new life Let your sorrows be a cloud that evaporates in the sky Tell me your stories and I will listen to you Nothing is too secret – an open life is here to be born! Take your hand and put it gently in mine We’ll go for a walk and let go of what's hidden in the ground

92


Enough is enough Enough is enough I've been waiting enough, waiting for your love to come Your love was like the wind I could not catch or follow it When it vanished, for sure, nothing could cool me down The sky was like your face and all my steps they led to you But finally arriving, then the sun was gone Then, when you disappeared, a greater love appeared to me: the vast and open field of Squirrelove! This love will never die because of what you seem to be in the eyes of your beloved one

Epiphany

(2012)

Epiphany, epiphany You've got to take a closer look at what you see Epiphany, epiphany The truth of you is not the same it used to be The old paradigms will fall away and new skin will appear You will never ever feel ashamed of what you are or what you've chosen to be It's enough! It's enough! It's an epiphany! Every squirrel is Jesus

(2015)

every squirrel is Jesus every squirrel is love every squirrel is a Buddha child in sweet furry disguise every squirrel is Krishna except for the color blue flying, like Mohammed, to the sky once in a while the day when love found me well, you can't prepare for love it is the strangest mystery an extraordinary ordinary love this day I’ll come to you this day love comes back to us so rare, this love, yet everybody's got it so plain, this love, but it seems so complicated

Flame of love the flame of love of the infinite light calls together all its scattered sparks into a fire that will burn like the sun to celebrate life, forever, in the golden light return to the light and the flame of love, now! return to the source you are truly made of!

Flowers

(2013)

In this landscape, so verdant and lush, you are a very special flower A dandelion – just like the sun A tiny snowdrop – you wake me up! Like the woodlands, filled with endless anemones or a sky, painted in bluebells; but most of all you are a wild, wild flower with no name or form, but with sweet fragrance and color These flowers I give to you They are like you, just like you! They remind me of what is true, of what is true, of what is true!

95


Fly in the sky There's a fly in the sky very high and below we are very small indeed Fly in the sky just like a fly in the sky You can't deny it would be fine to be a fly in the sky Framme

(2015)

Du är en evighet, du är en ny planet vi ville drömma fram och fantisera om Vart vill du komma nu, för varje ställe är ju en del av cellerna uti din himlakropp? Vi är faktiskt framme nu! Framme i vintergatans mitt Streckade linjer lyser i vitt Ingenting saknas dig när du är framme i vintergatans mitt Du frågar, vart är hem? Jag lämnar frågan därhän och pekar ditåt där ingen riktning bär Aum … Vi är faktiskt framme nu!

96


Fri som ett litet bi Nattsvart katt går en tur i vit natur Krokodilen går en mil på vänster fil Ekorrar är till besvär för militär Nattsvart katt går en tur i vit natur Och inget av detta ger några skäl för polisen att gå in med sina resurser Och allt sker utan att det behövs en skrivelse till riksdagens talman Och ers majestät konungen behöver inte tala med prinsen i frågans ärende Och ingen i bolagets styrelse behöver ta ansvar i problemkomplexet När en nattsvart katt går på tur i vit natur Fri som ett litet bi!

Fäderneslandet

(2015)

Förvillade i drömmar om ett rike starkt likt fornstora dar En längtan bort från verklighetens mänsklighet av alla de slag Stolt och modig kan du va utan låtsasideal Tor och Oden hemma hör i sagogrottans barnrumshörn Vaggad i sin faders famn Än finns inget namn och land Styrkan kommer inifrån Så håll dig från deras lögner och hån Trygghetsrädsla föder hat och skärper gränsernas skiljande art Bröder och systrar vi alla är och fäderneslandet imaginärt Stolt och modig kan du va utan låtsasideal Kung och fana gul och blå i sagogrottans mörker kan stå

98


Förvandlingen Vinterharen har den vita pälsen kvar, men snart så ändras den, förändras den Livet är en enda väntan om man tror den snart ska hända – Förvandlingen Vet att den är här nu redan Inget nytt ska ske på fredan med Förvandlingen Känner du hur Förvandlingen sker nu, sker nu, sker nu? Haren skuttar, mörk i pälsen som mossan undertill Försvinner snart mot dungens bo för skydd till skymningen

Glädjens källa

(2014)

Kom till glädjens källa som rinner inom oss Vi går dit och dricker oss mätta i från törst! Ja, i glädjens källa som rinner inom oss ser vi regnbågs-skimret som fyller oss med skratt Nu kan jag komma till dig Det finns ingenting som stoppar oss nu Nu kan du komma till mig Det finns ingenting som stoppar oss nu Livet ger oss en ny chans, en ny vinkel att betrakta vår tillvaro på Så hoppa upp på ekorrens svans Vi beger oss till nya horisonter Kom till glädjens källa …

Go wherever there is light in your life Go wherever there is light in your life Do what you must do to fight for your right If nobody is listening, then don't be afraid There are too many of us that take the same way Gratefulness

(2012)

I'm full of gratefulness for your helpfulness and your selflessness You are so kind to me So fine for me And my inner voice tells me it's a good choice to share my thoughts with you Maybe it's your radiant face that tells me there is a lot of space for them in you Come share your dreams with the world now Spread them to everyone you know Let them know your inner secrets, so that all your wishes will be fulfilled So many thoughts, so many dreams Not many of them will come true But the gift of life is more than dreams and that will never fade away from you!

101


Great tree

(2011)

You have come so far, my friend Be just what you are In the presence of the light, darkness goes away There is nothing to attain Be just what you are In the presence of the sun, all the clouds will go away So let yourself flourish now Let your flower thrive and grow and your power heal and glow And you will become a mighty tree! The greatest tree on earth! Gröna dansande blad Vi tar en dag i taget, bara en dag i taget För vi har en viss tillförsikt till livet Vi tar ett år i taget, bara ett år i taget Kanske dyker det upp nyheter på vägen För man vet aldrig med livet Bakom nästa dörr står kanske en mur på lur Men det kan lika gärna va … … ett blommande träd med gröna dansande blad Det gröna gör mig så glad Så glad som ett träd kan va

102


Happy new year A new year is coming Such a fine year is dawning, now when I know that your smile will shine for me soon again … A new year's coming and the old times are fading Like that misty morning when I saw dew pearls on your fur A new year … Fill this time Fill it up with your love! A new year … Take this chance to make a change in your life! Fill it up with your love Begin to share Then we can all get a happy new year! Hold on to that dream Make a wish to the star for a brighter day to come That will take you far!

103


Happy to be Den Lilla Ekorren Det är inte lätt att vara människa Så jag är så glad att jag är Den Lilla Ekorren! Att göra rätt för sig är att göra fel för sig – att göra fel för sig själv Men att göra lätt för sig är att göra rätt för sig – att göra rätt för sig själv Men det är inte lätt att vara människa … Haren Haren

(2011)

Kom nu med mig Igelkott, så ska vi träffa haren Haren! Han har mycket roligt för sig ska du veta, haren Haren. Han kan göra gropar som han kommer upp från här och där. För haren Haren pysslar lite med det där som ingen vet om Haren Haren pysslar, pysslar Han pysslar, pysslar, haren Haren Haren har det bra han Haren har det bra han, haren Haren Jai, jai, jai, Haren, jai! Jai, jai, jai, Korren, jai! När vi kommer hem så är vi fyllda utav harens har-bus. Vi blir påverkade av något slags gudomligt har-rus. Dansar gör vi hela natten lång till harens ära. För haren Haren pysslar lite med det där som ingen vet om

Have you made your squirrel exercises? Have you made your squirrel exercises today? Have you made them all, and made them skillfully? 1. Do nothing at all today 2. Be careful with what you say 3. Climb a tree! 4. Do not fall! Heartbeats Find your true divinity within your heart space Listen to the beats that drag you into its maze One is never two when you meet your true face Shining like the sun, your heart is mine and my heart is yours Hi & hå vad hundan drömmer katter om på natten? vad katsingen tänker en hund på dan? dagarna de går och myran sträva men utan att för döden bäva kon på ängen där vet mer om klöver än ditt ringa intellekt förmår och när det gäller klättra högt i björken ekorren slår dig på nöten hi och hå, lien slår men gräset lika vackert snart ska stå hi och hå, lien slår naturen alltid återuppstår!

How do little squirrels die? How do little squirrels die? They run up to the top of the sky Then they become a part of everyone's mind That is how squirrels die That’s the answer I’ve found So, is this how little squirrels die? Yes, they run up to the golden sky Where they’re being right now, by the way How can they possibly be … elsewhere, you say? I tell you little squirrels don't die So believe me, little squirrels don't die! I believe in Christmas Maybe there's no Santa Claus, but I believe in Christmas Maybe Jesus didn’t exist, but I believe in Christmas All the day and all the night, I think about the day to come when Santa finally arrives from above in snowy skies I may not be like anyone else but I believe in Christmas All you find can never be lost, when you believe in Christmas Too many songs there are about this godforsaken holy day Now it’s all commercialized, Yet, I believe in Christmas!

I can send you a smile

(2013)

What is the difference between you and me? There's not much to talk about, as far as I can see Humans and animals, boys and girls, are all each other’s equals When you're remembering who you are, the stories will soon fall away The colors of the rainbow will merge and light up and wipe out the hate from your face Mountains and trees are between you and me But still, I can send you a smile! People and places rush through our lives But still, I can send you a smile! I can't get enough of music Nobody likes my music, but still I keep doing it all day long! I just can't get enough of music! I do love you I do love you! Love gonna send me right to you! I bring my love to you, you can take it or leave it I sing my songs for you They are fragile, so don't break them 'Cause the song that I sing is dedicated to you and I will spread these words to every corner of the world until you hear them: I love you from the bottom of my heart I love you, and I give my heart to you

107


I have a friend in a walnut tree

(2012)

I have a friend in the walnut tree Can you believe it, he looks like me! His nosey nose and his waken ears make me believe he is without fears Still standing in the blowing wind What can make the storm to end its rushing time Still watching for a peaceful mind to invade my heart and make it sing I have a little squirrel in my heart The day the world fell off of my head, I began to see that the show that played in my head all the time was not the true mystery What really counts and all that matters is how close I am to life I can make a fuss and bother, but at the end of the day, life is what I am I have a little squirrel that plays around in my heart I have a little squirrel in my heart That day the ground gave way beneath my feet and I began to fly

108


I have to sing this song to everyone I have to sing this song to everyone I have to be Den Lilla Ekorren to tell you this You have to save the world from cruelty, by being peace And the only way to peace, goes by your heart ‌ ‌ and in the heart you find Den Lilla Ekorren! I love you (nature)

(2013)

I love you from the bottom of my heart I love you, and I give my heart to you I love you from the bottom of my heart I love you! I love you! Nature loves without a cause What nature is, is unconditioned love Nature gives without a cause What nature takes, it carefully recreates So stop to pretend you're something else Be what you are, be nature! Be what you are, be nature's love! I do love nature, do you love nature, too? Yes, I do! I do love nature!!

Ingenting förgås

(2014)

Himlen, vattnet, jorden finns kvar när vi lämnar den Djur, människor, växter ska känna och se världen åt oss Ingenting förgås! Du kan vara säker på att din skatt kommer vara kvar Men det som verkar värdefullt nu idag, blir den last du hänger av Av allt du trodde var du, lyser stillheten nu vackert klar Som sjöstjärnan så lever du för all tid i frihetens hav Ingenting förgås! In the city In the city, animals have to fight to get a piece of the cake, that they might find in a garbage bin at night Life is a struggle, but sometimes it can be nice In the city something always happens! In the forest, animals are free We live on things that let us be strong enough to be in perfect balance with everyone around us in the tree

110


It is you that's gonna save the world It is you that’s gonna save the world No one else is gonna do it for us There’s a call in you that needs to be heard, and a flame in your heart that wants to become a huge firestorm So come and join us, everyone, ‘cause it’s the last train for a future Nothing is too small to be a part of earth’s society Every little squirrel yearns and prays for your attention Some even write silly human songs to get you out of bed to work it out But no one, perhaps even little squirrels, can be at help at this precious moment When everything depends on you, there is only one thing to do and it is to sing as loud as you can … “It is you that’s gonna save the world!” I want to sing this song to everyone When you feel that a song's coming on, then, start to sing on it and keep on singing It's your song But know that the song you are singing is not only your song, it belongs to us all I want to sing this song to everyone You have to sing your song Sing loud and proud!

111


Jag lever / I'm alive Jag lever, jag lever, jag är här och nu Jag lever, jag är i livet nu! Nötskrikan sitter i tallen och skriker Älgen älgar sig fram i skogen Myrorna bygger sitt bo med tallebarr Bina surrar om det, så mycket som de kan Fisken bubblar en bubbla i vattnet Hästen kliar sig lite på benet Myrorna bygger sitt bo med tallebarr Bina surrar om det, så mycket som de kan: ”Jag lever!” ~ Birds are singing their own little song and I am here now, I don't know where I belong But one thing I know, and that is for sure: I'm alive! Trees are swinging its branches in the wind Squirrels are running up and down in spring How can I not be happy when I know, for sure, I'm alive! I know the song I can hear it when I listen to my heartbeats and when I’m walking on the streets, I hear all voices sing along There is that little bird’s call through the wall of sound Its voice tells us one thing, over and over again: "I'm alive!"

112


Jag vill att lyckan ska komma snart Var dag är en sång, som du kan lyssna dig till Kanske är just denna dagen då lyckan slår in? Detta att inte vänta sig nåt är lättare sagt än gjort Att vilja och att vänta är skilda ting som inte passar så bra ihop Men livet har sin egen takt Att ändra den kan ingen makt När hjärtat slår följer vi med Så ge mig bara lite kraft, och få mig glömma det jag haft men tappade på vägen hit Jag vill att lyckan den ska komma snart! Kom lyckan, ge mig en bra start!

113


Julens varma famn vintern den kom snabbt, och med den kom snön – ett himla-fenomen man aldrig riktigt kan förstå mörkret det är svårt, men vi står väl ut när fönstret täcks med vitt kan vi se vårt eget ljus när vintern kommer så ger vi varann julens varma famn glädjen i att åter få ge i julens varma famn så skänk då en tanke på de som har det svårt som inte kan skönja det ljusa i det grå som kämpar mot vindar som för dem hit och dit de längtar till samma vi redan har var dag Julen är stulen

(2006)

Julen är stulen, livet är ett skämt – en illusion som gud till dig på pin och kiv har sänt Julen är stulen och kvar under din gran, finns bara en påse fluffig skumbanan Som liten så kastar de på dig nån pryl för att stänga av dig och få frid till jul Sen dränks äkta känslor i unga år av bilder av samliv såsom våld eller porr När du är 40 så får du en kris, för att du inte har barn och en riktig prins(essa) Sedan är livet kört, det blir till att glo på Macahan-repriser till den dag du dog

114


Julen är räddad, Lilla Ekorren är här! Stjärna stjärna blinka nu Julen har du fått som du ville att den skulle se ut Blinka julens stjärna nu Hur jag undrar vem du är och var är du nu? Buddhan har somnat vid sin stam, Jesus ligger i min famn och gråter ut Tomtens minnesluckor är lika öppna som kalendern på julaftonens morgon Och inget godis trillar ut … Men kvar, men kvar, en svans syns under gran! På nåt sätt har en ekorre förirrat sig till stan Den Lilla Ekorren är här! Julen är räddad! Lilla Ekorren är här!

115


Keep turning the dharma wheel Keep turning the dharma wheel Get it spinning around Keep turning the dharma wheel With great compassion and love Hold on to your dream – that every single human being may be freed from suffering So keep turning the wheel You can be free of all your heavy burdens Just be, and realize that deep inside your heart there is peace Kom sköna sommar Kom sköna sommar, kom snart igen Gör mig varm med solens sken, du sommaren Kom sköna sommar, med sol och bad Sommaren gör mig så glad! Kom sommaren! Kom sköna sommar, med gröna blad Vänta inte, gör mig glad! Kom sköna sommar, kom hit igen! Sol, var är du nu? Jag längtar bort, jag längtar hem till dig När mörkret sänker sig går mina tankar till dig Sommaren gick fort och löven föll från alla träd Snö och is är fint, men kylan tränger sig på

116


Kom till mig Kom till mig! Jag vill inget annat än att du kommer till mig Så, kom till mig! Längtar du … som jag? Väntar du … som jag? Hoppas du … som jag? Då har vi nåt gemensamt du och jag! Oj, jag tror det knackar på min dörr … Vem vill komma in och hälsa på i mitt hjärterum? Leendet som möter mig tror jag säger att nåt, vem vet vad, kommer hända ikväll! Håll om mig … Jag vill inget hellre än att du håller om mig Så håll om mig … Kom till mig …

Kramlåten / The hug song

(2013)

Jag kramar dig i väntan på att ge dig en ny kram Fötterna de kramar jorden och ansiktet vår sol Vi kramar alla ledsna, för kramar gör dig glad Jag kramar dig i väntan på att ge dig en ny kram Hej, hej! Kram kram kram! Har du fått en riktig kram idag? Nej, nej Inte det? Då får du en kram av mig! ~ I hug you while I'm waiting for to give you a new hug My feet they hug the grass and sand and my face the sun I want to hug the sad ones – a hug is happiness I hug you while I'm waiting for to give you some more hugs Hey, hey! Big, big hug! Have you got a big, big hug today? No, no Oh, not so? Then, here you get a hug from me!

118


Känn dig själv! Du väntar på att livet ska börja snart Men det verkar aldrig ta riktig fart Och vem som du än frågar svarar de samma sak – du vet bäst själv Kom hit och lägg din hand mot min kind nu när det blåser hårt från livets vind Sakta ner och stanna upp din själs iver som ser hur tiden fördriver Som du frågar får du svar – Vem är jag? – Känn dig själv!

119


Let life in!

(2012)

In the heart of the island of our soul there's a forest in danger that calls out for our help But when those who should listen are filled with greed, then there's no room or future to think of for us But the real power is in good people's hands So let us meet up and be a force that breaks us free Let life in, let life be flourishing Let a new phase begin, let life in! Let life in, let life be flourishing Let the truth win, let life in! We have the power to let life win!

120


Letter from Jesus For whom will I arise, when like nights you’ve fallen blind, down to every leafless twig on Earth So hard the ground is here, yet precious, I must say, when my feet landed on your Earth My story has been told in a thousand different ways, but every time they've failed and missed the point So, how shall I explain … the world was no mistake You are all the Chosen One, not I But after winter frost, the spring will rise again – like birds eager to leave their nests I take it all on me, I've failed to give you faith Yet, truly I believe in You! Now the time has come I give you all farewell and bring a shining gift from my home: From heavenly abodes, a star, bright and colorful, is planted in your breasts, from now on till you find it there Glorious! So perfect in its holiness and bliss!

121


Let us build a better world together

(2013)

Have you seen what a mess we've made of our world? Such a dreadful mess that we have done! Let us build a better world together Let it shine for everyone, forever Let us build a brand new world together! "There's a lot of programs on the TV now So sad that I will miss some of them I must workout to make my body fit into all the clothes I bought today There's a lot of problems in the world today I hope that someone takes care of them I'm tired of myself and everyone, so ‌ I am sorry, I'm not that one" It seems to me that the world has made a somersault and no one takes responsibility for all the faults that we have done with the planet earth But it takes courage to begin anew and to sow the seeds for future needs So if you can't see anywhere to start, then begin with yourself!

122


Let us sway! let us sway! sway away! in the tree-tops we can play all the nights and all the days let us sway! sway away! in the crowns we live like kings amongst the leafy surroundings it's so fine, our way no one bothers when we play games of love up here in the green dense canopy Lev enkelt

(2012)

Lev enkelt så att andra kan leva kvar Denna planeten är den enda vi har Svar – politikerna ger, men resultaten uteblir Så vi tar saken i egna händer Du känner väl hur frågan bränner? Lev enkelt! Vad har du ditt prylberg till? Utvecklingen står aldrig still, men … ska vi få det här livet att fungera så måste vi enas om att mindre konsumera Lev enkelt så att andra kan leva kvar!

123


Lev friheten! Ät upp världen och var dig själv Lev friheten! Lev den nu! Varför göra dig besvär – dagen har nog med bekymmer själv Varför göra andra besvär – världen har nog med bekymmer själv Lev dig fri! Ät upp världen och lev dig fri Ät upp världen och svälj … dig själv! Life, a wondrous marvel! Living life – a wondrous marvel To live is a marvelous, wonderful thing! Living lightly Living free Living like the birds up in the tree When you’re getting out of the box and into the wild, you will find your inner child!

124


Life is a beautiful dream

(2014)

I've got a thing I just can't get off my head I walk around with it until I go to bed The life, they say, is but a dream – and it's a beautiful dream But who are they to be so sure that life is this or that and less or more? The life, we say, is but a dream It is a beautiful dream! The dream of life is a dream in my life So why try to know the meaning of life, when the one that says it knows the answer is a dream itself Oh, what a beautiful dream it would be, the one with you and me! Life of a bird You can have the whole of me! You can have it all for free! Everything is seamless light Nothing to defend or fight for So beautiful, so beautiful is life, naked, without shields So beautiful, so beautiful is life, clear from all the who's and why's Life of a bird – flying, then dying Life of a bird – a burning desire

125


Life is like a pine cone

(2015)

Life is like a pine cone, rough but neat Loaded with some stuff that's good to eat, for a handsome squirrel like me Life is never dull for a little squirrel Walk and jump around on higher ground It feels very natural and sound for a handsome squirrel like me, thinking life is very short but funny Oh, what a day! I think I should stay up here all day I have nothing special to do, I just hang around and am with you, little squirrel Welcome to my little den It's quite small, but big enough for me and my friend It is built of straw and grass Oh, what a gas we'll have in our tiny den!

126


Listen to your heart (Ein Eichhörnchen ich bin) walking in the park, you will meet a friend a curious look … is that food in my hand? ein Eichhörnchen, ein Eichhörnchen, ich bin! living in a tree, I think that's something for me! I can see there's shelter and food for free living in a tree, how is it possible, gee! what can I do to make this dream come true? “listen to your heart! just listen to your heart, my dear!” when I walk from the park I’ve got that feeling again something extraordinary happened and I don't know what it was Like an eagle in the sky Like an eagle in the sky, flying high above the clouds – are you, free from any doubts and troubles in your mind Crystal clear Going nowhere You will always find me wherever and whenever I’ll go I’m an eagle in the sky, flying high above the clouds Miracles happen, and today is Miracle Day Miracles will happen today!

127


Little bird Hey little bird, where are you flying when there’s sky everywhere, wherever you go? Hey little fish, where are you swimming when there is water, wherever you go? Nowhere to hide Nothing to find Nothing you don’t already know So there is no place left to go – but to your heart Little mommy

(2013)

little mommy – she takes good care of her own but is so afraid to be alone and see herself little mommy little mommy – what if your deepest darkest fears are something you don't have to hide for yourself? come to me now and cry out in my arms life has been hard for you, but you should know that we care about our mommy, our little mommy crying mothers around the world come together now and celebrate that the love that's been given away now comes back to you

128


Little squirrels Which are the ones that always make me smile? Little squirrels! Who makes the day come bright and alive? Little squirrel! I count the days we have spent apart I followed you from the start, on your leap from a branch to a twig You’re so unconcerned of the chances you take Live and prosper Peace and happiness for each and every one A place to live, some food and lots of fun Peace to everyone! Peace to everyone! Live and prosper This life is yours You were born to fly and in the ocean deeply dive Not a single obstacle can stop you anyhow Why be so concerned about the foolishness of this world You alone can free your mind and live a life of truth Welcome to the world, my son When you grow up to be a man, don't forget this song!

129


Livet Livet kanske inte är helt lätt att förstå, men efter ett tag eller så kan vi vända det grå! Flyg fågel flyg till ditt bo, där du kan få ditt hjärtas ro Living in the cosmic tree A squirrel is a mysterious being It embodies the essence of love Ask a squirrel a silly question – it will just stare at you and don't say a thing! But if you open your heart for nature, a recognition will soon take form In that eye, you will see cosmos and yourself being a part of the whole Being cosmos – a cosmic being Being cosmos Living in the cosmic tree

130


Livets sång jag låtsas som det regnar men solen bränner mot mitt skinn och jag blir ganska hudlös när alla intryck väller in men så snart vi ser varandra faller bitarna på plats jag var aldrig ensam i oron som jag känt vi lyssnar till nåt annat än vad andra bryr sig om nåt finare och enkelt det är livets egna sång och den sjunger inom oss dagarna blir längre jag väntar på nåt stort och vackert som ska hända med allas vårat klot ett samförstånd så ömsint att ingenting kan störa den, med rötter som förenar och som sjunger livets sång den sjunger inom oss

131


Ljuset / Infinite Light I gläntan i skogen kommer ljuset fram och ger oss liv på jorden Groddar och blad kommer plötsligt upp och vänder sig mot solen Tack oändliga ljus, tack oändliga ljus Tack så mycket för att du finns Tack så mycket för du finns! Med ljuset kommer värmen fram och viljan att åter blomma Grönt, grönt, grönt, förunderligt grönt blir livet när det ljusnar ~ In a glade in the forest, the light comes forth Life on earth is returning Sprouts and leaves soon grow up They all turn towards the sunlight Thank you, Infinite Light, Thank you, Infinite Light! Thank you for being here Thank you for being here! The sunlight brings us heat and joy and the will to bloom and blossom Green, green, green, wondrous green, life becomes when it's brighter!

132


Look and you will see

(2012)

You will never learn anything from any religion Only the blackbird in the tree will set you free You will never know of life and its secrets from the science Only the squirrels in the tree will let you see Just look and you will find what seems to be hidden in the ground Under the layers of you and me Just look and you will see what is hidden in the tree Among the branches of you and me Love is all around Love is all around Love of all kinds will prevail … whatever they say! Love is a squirrel love is a squirrel, catching a branch of a fir dancing among the needles, it makes a great leap of faith to deal with the chores in everyday life is no joke though we laugh and we laugh till the night wraps us into its clothes love is a squirrel, catching a branch of a fir love is a squirrel – you know when you see one love is a squirrel – it sees that you're no one

133


Love come back to me (2013) Love, come back to me Love, come back to me I'm gonna cry until you come to me Life, come back to me Life, come back to me I'm gonna try in every possible way to be free Life is all I got, and all I have is you, my love That's for real, well, that is real for me Life is all I’ve got, and all I have is you, my love It's a precious life, a precious love, indeed! Life is a mystery, my friend Without beginning, without an end It just goes on for the sake of joy, to dance around the tree of life and play Like a kid, you feel the body move In this dance, I know you hear the groove Don't take your life too serious my friend It's without beginning, without an end

134


Love is in the air Love is the answer to every question you can have Whatever you may think it is, love is here and everywhere Together we can make the world a better place for us Love is the answer to every question you may ask Is there really any reason for you to not feel free? Spring is love in green – love in green, love in green Summer is the loving sun – the love from the warming sun In the fall we fall in love – fall in love, fall in love And the rest of the year, we know it's there: Love is in the air! All around the year, we know it's there: Love is in the air! Luftballong

(2007)

Kom och bo uti min luftballong Här finns allting man kan behöva för att kunna leva riktigt bra minsann! Kom och bo uti en fjärilskokong Här finns allting man kan behöva för att kunna leva riktigt bra minsann!

Love is the flower Love is the flower You got to let it grow Strong enough to take the hardest wind More precious than a gold- or diamond ring More colorful than any painting ever made is this little flower of love Magical squirrel A magic squirrel deep in the woods, I met, and then I understood the meaning of existence It didn't have to say a word, just simply to be a squirrel and that was what I noticed By cutting off the ties and bonds that’s holding us from all the fun, we free the mind from clinging – on how to have success in life and where to find a lovely wife among so many creatures Why making up so many plans? Life's too good to follow signs … oh, suddenly it vanished! A magic squirrel indeed it was It didn't say a thing, but was the very best of teachers! Oh, what a magical squirrel!

Miracle of light Woke up this morning and the world was all white Oh my! Why do we have to fight? What was, yesterday, wrong now seems to be just right Oh my! Why do we have to fight? Outside people walk around loaded with bags of pain Oh my! Why do we have to fight? No one seems to be satisfied with what they have Oh my! Why do we have to fight? Look, a change is on its way! It's just hard to see it now And the world we know of will be the same as the always known But behind all knowledge breaks a light through walls of pain It is grace beyond all words You can feel it right away! Open your eyes It's a miracle of light

Moder Jord / Dear sun Varje dag går solen upp och skänker ljus, skänker ljus, skänker ljus Även om den inte syns så finns den där Den skänker ljus, skänker ljus Luft det finns det överallt som ger oss liv, ger oss liv, ger oss liv Även om den inte syns så finns den där Den ger oss liv, ger oss liv Moder Jord, du håller om oss När allt går runt, så håller du om oss! Mamma Pappa, Mamma Pappa Solen Pappa Mamma, Pappa Mamma Jorden ~ Morning, once again … the sun is rising So we can live on and shine like you do We can not always see it, but it's there all the time – the shining light from the sun Life, it is dependent on the atmosphere Without this space, there were no faces We can not even see it, but it's there all the time We breathe air, we breathe life Oh dear sun, your fire keeps us warm When everything goes around, you hold us in your arms

Mot stjärnorna vi rymmer Innan du var född var du en stjärna som blicka ner på jordens rund Du såg allt som skedde och du kände att du ville komma dit nån gång Så fanns det plötsligt plats för dig att flyttas på ett ögonblick i tid och rum Du vaknade med ljus och leenden omkring dig, men med smärta i din själ När dagens ljus det skymmer, mot stjärnorna vi rymmer Ögat ditt det skimrar så, när stjärnorna de glimrar på My land is not my land anymore

(2014)

I have my land upon my shoulders It weighs me down … what has it done to us? Certain people, it says, are foreigners We protect what should belong to us all My land is not my land anymore The Earth begs us: ”Be part of a boundless world!” My land is not my land anymore Oh, Earth, let me be yours! So what can we do to break the spell that enchants everyone? And what should be done with all the barriers we crumbled down to dust?

140


My life begins with you My life begins with you One is not the same as two We hold the seed of love in our hands and bring it to a tree My life begins with you One is not the same as two We hold the seeds of love in our hearts and grow them into trees My nose ThĂ­ch Nhat Hanh had a small nose, Nisargadatta had a big, and mine is somewhere in between those wisdom-keepers snouts My nose is somewhat runny I sneeze when I come home It's itchy and the tip of it has the color red Oh, my nose, oh my nose has the color of a rose and now I give this flower to you They will match, 'cause yours is blue Yet, perhaps I'll keep mine only for myself It can sniff a yummy walnut inside the hardest of shells So if you don't mind, I have to leave you now Love is nice, but food is even better for my soul

Mystics

(2011)

This is the end of duality and the start of a new beginning You have never been away, never left the building There is no story to tell at all Just unfold and let it fall ‌ into the mystics state where you are endless, endless being Into the mystics state where you are endless, endless seeing This is the end of duality and the start of a new beginning You have never been away, never left the building It is your birthright to dwell in this still and perfect consciousness The mystics state where you are endless, endless being Naked eye stop and let be be in clarity stop strategies no one to see in this naked eye everything's freed

Nature's love Nature's love You and I are nature's love Nature's love Everyone is nature's love Bumblebees and humble trees are friends of the earth, here to set us free! Nature's love Everyone is nature's love Happy me! I'm here to be a friend of the earth Here to set us free! Nature's love Everyone is nature's love Near the oak tree In the forest, near an oak tree, a small lake opens up the view I like to be there, near the tree and lean my head against it carefully Free from stories Free from symbols and descriptions Free to enter the mystery In the stillness, something is waken Happy Wisdom is flowering I never lose it It's here forever In compassion, I give it to you

143


Not the end Every little human in the universe, now come and listen You may think you're special but that's just a mirage that you've mistaken to be One and every creature has a role to play, in this dance of life So even if you fall out – it's impossible! You are always at home This is not the end Little squirrels will save the world This is not the end So be a squirrel for the world! This is not the end It's just yet another ending Often the sea is much deeper than you thought But it's only water Peel the thoughts from Truth and all your problems are gone Just look and you will see Now the world has come to the point of no return Well, that is what you think So read what I've just said again, my friend and start to see who you really are

144


Not knowing blues We are great men and women, yet we are unknown We've never proclaimed the rights for the show that is shown No one can say where we came from and where we are going The ultimate choice is to be and to live the not knowing Nu kommer julen Nu kommer julen Den är kul den och vi sjunger tra la la Alla tomtarna är så roliga så vi skrattar ha ha ha Allt elände, utan ände som vi hört om varje dag hela året … Men nu får det väl för fanken vara nog! Men ute i kylan sitter tiggaren med ledsna, ledsna ögonbryn Då kommer det fram en liten ekorre och ger med ett leende en peng

När hjärtat styr Sikta mot månen och nå nästan dit Sikta mot hjärtat och du får det du vill Enkelt är livet när hjärtat styr Du är i mitt hjärta fast det verkar stå helt still Säg vad jag ska göra och jag följer dit du vill Sikta ingenstans och du når allting Sikta inte alls och du får vänta lite till Enkelt är livet när hjärtat styr! Omsorg Omsorg byggde denna världen I omsorg lämnar vi den Med omsorg lämnar vi den Växterna skyddar sig mot mörkret De vecklar in sina blad Tankarna är som frön i vinden De tar oss långt härifrån Bevara dig i från kölden som getts med människans namn Snart är du i hamn Allt kan bli en sång Vi ska sjunga den en gång med framtidens melodi: Omsorg byggde denna världen I omsorg lämnar vi den Med omsorg lämnar vi den

One deep breath In the midst of the deep winter sleep – memories of a sweet summer breeze When it's cold, death is near, friends are gone Squirrel knows: no "you" was ever there Spring is coming soon Life comes back to us It was never really gone It was only taking one deep breath Only this moment Only this moment, we have It is sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake in the sun Only this moment, we have! Don't look down on yourself You and I were no mistakes! I will try the best I can to fight the demons of my mind, that tells me you're not the only one and that you're not the one for me Never look down on yourself!

Ovan regnbågen ekorrar svävar fritt Ovan regnbågen ekorrar svävar fritt Varför skulle ej jag en dag kunna komma dit? Jag ville önska till en stjärna att jag vore bortom mörka skyar Där sorger inte finns Dit skorstensröken ej kan nå Där lyckan sig förnyar Peace is the way When your heart is at peace it is hard to see some enemies Behind the masks friendly faces say: “what can I do for you to feel more at ease?” You are not alone with your yearning wish to see an end of all the wars What made the hatred begin was just a dream that seems to have made you blind Peace is the way, but it is not one way With every mindful step you take we make the world more peacefully Love is the way, but it is not one way With every caring step you take we make the world a better place Walk with me, friends on earth! Take my hand and sing a song for peace Peace with my friends on earth Show me now what is peace Show me now and sing a song for peace

148


People are people People are people like you and me You and I are humans in humanity Animals are animals like you and me You, too, are an animal like you and me Lay off your old face like a hat and meet me, soon, at the golden tree Hand in hand we take a step from the dark and unknown into the light Peace on earth, is it possible? We join groups to feel some security inside But soon people outside seem to threaten our rights A suspicious mind is ready to attack on any sign It disregards beliefs we don't hold as our own Peace on earth, is it possible? Peace on earth, peace on earth Only when peace is possessing you Only then, only then ‌

Precious presence when I wake up in the morning when I feel happy or blue when in deepest sleep or dreaming when I have a talk with you the precious presence is always present Probelm Jag är Den Lilla Ekorren Jag ser alla era problem Krig, död, ensamhet … säg vad ni vill Men jag vet att det är något ni har glömt bort Nånting friskt inne i er sjuka kropp Ljus, kärlek … säg vad ni vill! Punk-korrens sång Ekorren har inget hem någonstans Han hoppar från gren till gren med otrolig elegans Men glimten i ögat säger någonting Ekollon faller tyst i oländig terräng Naturen kommer hem till dig Den knackar på dörren och säger hej Säg, har du glömt bort en gammal vän? Så ge mig nu en kram igen!

River, find me When will the tears begin to fall? When will they wet this dry and empty ground? When will the leaves begin to fall and gently cover these grains of love? In my heart, there is a river, that carries me back home In a stream that flows around me, I see all things break down River, find me Carry me back home Run away Where have you gone, my inner child? Where is the innocence, free and wild? This body of mine is an old man now I wanna run away, run on the fields again Where did it go, the mystery? I know, I'm every age I've ever been All the same, now put me back So I can run, run freely on the fields again I wanna run, run away Run, run away Run, run, far away

Sanningens trädgård

(2012)

I sanningens trädgård vandrar jag omkring Vart jag mig än vänder, händer ingenting Det kan verka tråkigt, men det är helt ok Världen är så bråkig och det passar inte mig Vandrare vägar i cirklar får I sanningens trädgård är det stigen som går Sanningens trädgård – här och nu! Seen love Have you ever seen a child meet your eyes with a great big smile? A beautiful smile for nothing, it just trains its facial muscles Then you have seen love! Have you ever seen a flower, reaching up to the great great sun? Without effort in any way There's just presence, love and play Then you have seen love! Love is the glue that keeps the universe together It is both the source and the goal for us

152


Shine If you burn the candle at both ends, then you won't see the darkness, the stars and yourself Glow with the light from within … and shine! There’s a spark in your eyes, I can see it so clear I know this love is everywhere There is gold in us … and it shines! Fire, fire! Put your hands to the sky and pray that love will shine on everyone today Fire, fire! Put your hands to the sky and pray that love will shine for everyone Show a little kindness, put sunshine into someone's day! Rush through the day, coming home, go to bed … then start a new day But who knows what you might stumble upon with a slight change of direction? A quick glance at the world reveals that sadness is a common situation So let's be the ones that make a happy day for some who weren't expecting it Show a little kindness and smile to one you'll meet today Try a little kindness, put sunshine into someone's day What if kindness will save the world What if kindness will save someone's day!

Skogens ande / The Spirit of the forest Alla våra vänner i skogens djup är inte alltid lätta att finna Igelkotten gömmer sig under en gren Huggormen kryper snabbt under en sten Men alla så delar vi samma skog och vi är skogens ande! Ändå så hittar jag snart till min vän Det finns något som för oss samman Igelkott kryper fram och säger hej Ormen ser nyfiket på dig och mig För alla så delar vi samma skog Och vi är skogens ande! ~ All our friends in the neighborwoods, it ain't always easy to find them! Hedgehog is lurking behind leaves and sticks My friend Viper sleeps until noon, like the Greeks Tiny or big, we all share the same woods, and we are the Spirit of the forest Finally, I use to find them, I'm blessed There's something that brings us together Hedgehog rises his nose and says hello! And who comes to meet us if not Viper, too! So happy to be with my friends in the woods Yes, we are the Spirit of the forest

Släpp fantasin fri!

(2015)

Släpp fantasin fri, hon är fin! Släpp fantasin fri, hon är din! Nu börjar en ny dag och allting börjar om Nyvakna vi ser oss omkring på världens alla ting Låt denna vackra dag få ha sin skönhet kvar, och leda dig till klarhet – den finns där inom dig Fånga din dag i sitt språng i en bild eller i en sång Visa din värld för mig nu Jag vill veta och känna som du! Varje gång du ser på världen blir den ny Ingenting är fult eller fel, när du vet att du är hel Nu börjar en ny dag och allting börjar om Om inte denna sång fanns, fanns nog ingenting alls!

Snowman, where are you now? I'm longing to see you! No man is out in this pouring rain Snowman, where are you now? I'm longing to see you! Not more than a hat and a stick is left He has gone to faraway land! Why has he gone to faraway land? He has left for the land of ice and snow to heal his wounds, to heal his wounds! He needs a lot of ice and snow to heal his wounds, to heal his wounds! He makes a big ball on the ground and puts a small upon that one Then he makes a smaller ball to put upon the middle one Snowman! Now are you here, I'm so glad to see you! Snowman! So happy you're back again!

Himlen öppnar upp och solen tittar fram, på dig och mig som håller varandra i famn Fåglarna de sjunger som i änglakör och allting utanför oss händer också innanför Livet står framför oss, men inte som en mur Vad säger alla träden och vad gör väl alla djur? Inga tankar stör oss denna ljusa dag Låt denna dag få vara för evigt, evigt klar Solen titta in, in innanför mitt skinn Strålar, värm mig! Hjärta, brinn!

Spread your heart around

(2012)

Spread your heart around Don't let your burdens weigh you down Fill your heart with what you love A brimful cup of love you'll get Share it until not even one drop is left Then the story starts again, with an endless cup of endless love Spread your wings Spread your wings, spread your pink, yellow wings Spread them out, out in the wind Let them take you through storms and hard times and dark gloomy skies to the sun You should know the darkness is there to protect you and not to make you afraid What is light without shadows and where were we heading with no light to guide our way?

Squirrel Garden – Where are the squirrels now? I don't see them anywhere … – They are up in the trees, planning to save the world – Is it really so? How could you possibly know that they are up there, planning to save the world? Ha, ha, ha, is it true? – Aha! It is true!

We'll pay them a visit now and then we'll follow the guidance we've got To Squirrel Garden! Come with me, we're going there now! Squirrel is a place in your heart squirrel is a place in your heart the center from which all things start so if you no longer feel your toes or nose, then you know that the help is very close but despite this miracle, there is an inner critic's voice that is blaming you for all made faults and the disturbing craziness of every day's experiences can put you in great distress then, remember … squirrel is a place in your heart

161


Squirrelove There are no winners and no losers There are no choices, no one chooses No one can ever come closer to what you already are: SQUIRREL LOVE! There are no men, there are no women There are no persons and no timeline No one can ever come closer to what you already are: SQUIRREL LOVE! So come and follow me … into the mystic and the place to be: Into SQUIRRELOVE!! Squirrel mind You may think space is infinite, but it's not It's only in the mind, enclosed by a thought But before that thought, there is the real openness It's the squirrel mind, old as acorns from thousand-years oaks – We are so far out now, so far away … We are so far out now … are we going home? – We’re going by the speed of life!

162


Squirrel peace Every little squirrel is a messenger of peace They bring love to earth with their joyfulness and ease They don't wait for love to come, they just have it anyway, and what they have to say with their way is that you maybe are the same as they What a miracle it is to have this peace, when other things they fall apart What a miracle it is, this squirrel peace! Squirrel poo The world is made of squirrel poo That's the place for me and for you Though, when I see your eyes so blue, it's hard to believe that is true From a nut, through the belly, to the ground A tree grows up and makes the world go around So without the droppings of the squirrels, I wouldn't see you, sweet girl Squirrel poo, poo, poo!

163


Squirrels are the saviors of the universe Long before the earth was born the squirrels ruled the cosmos So perfect in their holiness, serenity and bliss Now the world has gone astray in a forest deep and dark But guided by the rodent stars we wake up to the sunlight Squirrels are the saviors of the universe Squirrel song Squirrel song, I'm a squirrel in a squirrel song! The squirrel in the tree is free The squirrel in the tree is me Head in the sky and tail to the ground You’ve got to be a squirrel if you wanna have fun Whatever you feel about the critters in your yard, you should be aware they offer you a priceless reward. They send love in abundance to each and every one, that recognize the pure and happy nature of the mind! Squirrel song, I'm a squirrel in a squirrel song!

Strange patterns of human behavior

(2019)

I’ve tried to hide, but stopped and looked in the mirror Now, I face the truth and want to become another On a daily basis – my actions, they were oddly crazy Please take my hand, I beg you: This ain’t gonna happen no more It ain’t gonna happen no more Strange patterns of human behavior keep torment me, despite my earnest and deepest regrets Strange patterns of human behavior keep torment me, year after year after year How can I make up for this? What is a human but a bipedal with a reptile’s brain? What makes a human more special, than any other thing? Don’t gonna hide it anymore! What is a human but a changing cloud on an infinite sky? What makes humans believe they are the king and the crown? Don’t gonna hide it anymore!

166


Stråla stjärna Stråla stjärna, stråla gärna för mig Du leder mig hem igen Stråla stjärna, stråla gärna för mig! Titta upp mot evigheten Kom så tar vi rymdraketen Allting svävar här Allting svävar här S:t Thomas This squirrel will never find itself at home in that lonesome village called S:t Thomas We climb and we climb but we never reach the top We are possessed by our stories But in the city of the Golden Sun we cross the bridge between the love and faith and we run freely on the open fields with no one chasing our tails or furs “Hey you, yes you – you are with us!”

167


Sverige finns inte till Sverige finns inte till Det är en konstruktion som nå' konstiga typer hittat på Men nu tar vi farväl utav allt som är strunt och tillsammans på Jorden vi bo Från rymden syns det inga gränser alls på vår planet De skapades när vissa såg att plånboken blev fet Men vi genomskådar bluffen och vi tar varann i hand och spatserar glada över hav & land Sverige finns inte till! Sweet little being

(2013)

hey little squirrel you are like a pearl in the river of change you're so still and free oh, what a gift you are for me what a dazzling display you let me see sweet being you're like honey for my eyes, sweet being you're like honey for my eyes, sweet friend

Så bra som vi har det ändå

(2013)

Innan vi stänger så vill vi gärna passa på att säga er att vi älskar er! Summan spenderad på artiklar idag har renderat oss en skälig vinst Merparten går till vår VD:s tilltagna villa på Lidingö, men 5 öre gick trots allt till leverantörerna i Sydostasien, där kadmiumhalten har ökat dramatiskt i grundvattentäkterna Så bra som vi har det ändå! Så bra som vi har det ändå! Men det kommer inte fortsätta gå Det måste vi snart förstå Nu ska jag bli en minimalist och äga bara hundra saker En dator och iPhone jag måste skaffa mig när jag flyger över jordklotet Under mig hundratals byar jag ser som kämpar i vattenmassorna Det blir en bra sak att skriva in på Facebook-statusen … eller förresten, jag tar bilden med fåglarna som flyger i hjärtformation Så bra som vi har det ändå! Så bra som vi har det ändå! Men det kommer inte fortsätta gå Det måste vi snart förstå

169


Så fri! Så öppen! hej lilla fågel i skyn led mig till dit hjärtan styr flyg lilla fågel visa mig vart jag ska gå vill du följa med på en resa tillbaks från var vi kommer, till hjärtats innersta frö? ditt inre leende är solen som ska göra dig fri! ditt inre leende är solen som gör dig … så fri, så fri, så fri! så öppen, så öppen, så öppen!

Så klart är du så klar nu en liten ekorre satt uppå en gren han ville skala kottar, men han hade inga ben han hade ingen kropp, ingen svans vad hade hänt, var var hans sans? det enda han visste var att han fanns … en ekorre i rymden är en väldigt liten typ som ändå kan nå bergets topp och havets mörka djup nu har jag blivit rymden runt min själ och själen fanns förstås däri … den var aldrig två såklart är du så klar nu såklart är du min vän! såklart är du så klar nu såklart du hittat hem! du var aldrig borta, min vän! i dagens Ekorrbladet fanns en liten notis man hade funnit spår utav en korre, fast i is i tretton långa dar man högg och slet men när man nådde fram fanns där bara tomhet, och en lapp med en inskrift som sa … såklart är du så klar nu

171


Tail in your mind when you lift your eyes to the blue sky the mind gets open and wide when you feel that anger is rising everything gets closed to the mind but behind all those sudden feelings, that show up on the screen of mind, a realm of undisturbed wakefulness always waits for you to be found you got a tail in your mind a tail in your mind that helps you back to find your inner ground you got a tail in your mind a tail in your mind that is a fact, so show me what you’ve found!

172

Tend and befriend, love is gonna send the peace the world is waiting for Tend and befriend, love is gonna mend the hearts in everyone … so, tend and befriend! The best song in the world This song is the best song in the world But even if the best song is sung, the song will never sing if nobody’s listening The bird is you – When there is peace there is love in abundance, so enjoy the freedom of letting be No one has ever told you a thing … There was only this Presence, all the way from the first yell to the last sigh – How will I travel this unfolding now? – There is just one answer. Your journey never happened in the first place. You were always at home, practicing this wondrous adventure of freely flying as a bird, high up, up in the sky … Never mind the thoughts, the bird is you and lovingkindness is always here for you to discover

173


The eyes of the world We are the eyes of the world What does it really say, this song? Just look at what you are right now You are the witness of the Love we are made of ‌ everyone! We are the eyes of the world! Well, you should know it off by heart by now So then sing it to someone you love The waves will spread out, day and night You feel it, even though it's out of sight We are the eyes of the world The human experience to ask for more when you have everything you need, shake off those things from you, live wild and free! to seek love and awareness, although you've always been in the Heart of the Now such a human folly, what a waste of words! nowhere to be found is human sin it's just a misunderstanding of who is doing the things strange behavior is a social madness you're not the cause, it's due to society itself I am, and you are, having a human experience come on, let's have the time of our lives! and remember, people, take care of your life!

The Little Squirrel Sitting on a branch Chewing up a pine cone The ocean and the wave Watch the world grow into one community Watch yourself grow into whole of humanity Watch your vision grow until you see the earth as one Watch your heart grow along with your mind again Watch our future grow No more dead ends! We walk the path of love and dance until we glow Time is short, so let it be a miracle that breaks us free from all delusions that have been put upon us throughout our history So let your mind be friends with your heart That’s what it takes to make a fresh start The world begins to smile again when the ocean and the wave are seen as the same

175


The only way to follow is the way of the heart Watch to the left, there is a signpost that tells you: “Keep on going!” Watch to the right, there is a signpost that tells you: “Stop all your actions!” Which one to go for seems to be a problem But for me, there is only one option, only one way to go: The only way to follow is the way of the heart! Don't you ever forget where you got this from – a little squirrel! The skylark

(2019)

Listen when the skylark sings its morning song for us A new day comes along A chance to try again Its song enchants my heart with love The reason why I worried vaporized The morning bird invited me to rest Now its voice rings inside of me Hear the skylark sing It will always have the final say Listen to what it has to say It will make your day Come rise and shine!

176


The Question Have you asked yourself the Question? Why not be a squirrel for the rest of your life? Break with your past! It never lasts Make it fast! It doesn't get better if you think about it It doesn't get better if you think Just do it! The secret language of love

(2011)

High up in the trees, we live in happiness and peace We are the secret language of love! What do the squirrels say, when they frolic and play … I want to know! How do the squirrels talk, I want to do their walk … please let me know it! Down on the ground, we are bound to find and desperately seek our roots Grannies and daddies and mothers and aunts have the keys to unlock our souls But all these things are indifferent to me … why do I have to dig in the past? When all I want is to be here with you and see things happen out of the blue

The song of the Earth The song of the Earth Its sounds unfurl and spread over us The gate breaks open and freedom comes Yet, it is kind to our hearts and sublimely still The earth vibrates of love, but will you hear it? It is there for you to find This is the song of the Earth The wind tells us of a new birth The Squirrelation Army So now the Squirrelation Army comes on every front! Like a roaring fire, lightning flames of love in hearts With truth as the weapon and peacefulness in mind The squirrels will now gently lead you to your inner core With blood and with fire we conquer the world In search of the souls for which it not occurred that life is a story, told by ourselves and that love is the background screen on which the movie is seen An army of truth for a borderless world! An army of love for a friend of each kind! An army of squirrels cuts the ropes off your heart! An army of squirrels unties all hearts!

The Sound If the eyes of cosmos, the stars, don't see a difference, how could your eyes, pointing at me, tell me I'm significant? Because I'm a seed of light and you're the same thing I am a seed of light, and you are one, too … We have had billions of years of staring at each other In the great galactic tree, the colors of the leaves now rapidly change… They are lifted up by a wind so strong If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound … the Sound … The Tree of Life Oh, you little human things … have you ever seen a squirrel running up the tree? Running up the tree … It is soo special! Branches reach high up in the sky Roots crawl into the earth In the Life-Tree, in the Tree of Life In the Life-Tree, in the Tree of Life Oh, you little human things How do you treat the earth? It is so broken!

This is not a song about love

(2012)

This is not a song about love So I'm not gonna sing about love This is not a song about squirrels, having fun in the trees This is not a song about love Because the song I am singing is love The water song I wrote a song about water Simple, running water Ordinary water Nothing but water! Running water Simply running water Clear, cool water All we need is water But when I tried to write some more, I realized, I did it wrong What water is, I can not know So to describe it, what a silly thought! About life, well, there we have the same ‌ Nothing to catch in words or tame So you could say it’s all in vain But who really cares, I sing my refrain: Here is the water song I sing a little song about water

Tickle Day song

(2015)

I tickle you, my friend and you don’t want it to end I tickle you and you laugh the whole day through I scratch you on the back You like it very much I tickle a little more and you laugh a little more I cannot explain the reason for your odd behavior And when we have begun, my fingers run and run We are a perfect match! We’re doing this all day It’s "The Tickling Way" We’re doing this all day, ’cause each and every day is Tickling Day

Tigris, lady of the forest

(2019)

Something is hiding in the thick green grass Is it a cat or a scary beast? A furry head with green-yellow eyes It’s my friend She jumps up to my lap Tigris, lady of the forest Tigris, lady of the woods Tigris, lady of the forest Now she sleeps in my lap Now she sleeps in my lap Tigris is my friend – now and forever She’s a cat What else? A TIGER! Gently I strike her golden hair Black and brown, striped tiger fur Tigris, lady of the forest Tigris, lady of the woods Tigris, lady of the forest Now she sleeps in my lap Now she sleeps in my lap

Tread lightly on the earth, my friend

(2014)

It may look dark outside and rain all day, but inside you, there is a sun Now, let it shine for everyone you meet Let gloom and darkness pass away Now, tread lightly on the earth, my friend Tread lightly as you go Yes, tread lightly on the earth, my friend Tread lightly as you go The seed grows up and it becomes a plant The plant grows up to be a tree The tree will end its days in one big storm and then give life to many more Now, tread lightly on the earth, my friend Tread lightly as you go Yes, tread lightly on the earth my friend Tread lightly as you go So, next time when you walk along the lane and meet a fellow human Friend, look up and meet her face with one big smile It will come back to you some day Now, tread lightly on the earth, my friend Tread lightly as you go Yes, tread lightly on the earth, my friend Tread lightly as you go

Trollen I den bästa utav världar lever vi, där lever vi nu … förblindade Trollen trollas bort, trollar bort allt grått! Grönt, omkring oss i en cirkus av färg gör du sandkorn till berg Gul, solen ler och tackar för maten i form av ett glas vatten Blå, kul att ha under kudden på dan, frågan är vad den är bra för Vit snö på marken, men en dam kommer tillbaks och plockar hallon i parken Underbar dag / A wonderful day Vem kunde vänta sig en dag som den här? Vem kunde tro den skulle bli så bra? En dag när allt man gör fungerar och blir precis som man har tänkt En dag när både livet och solen ler mot mig från alla håll Å, en sån underbar dag! ~ What a treat, to face a day like this! Who would have thought it would be, oh, so good? A day when things they were completed and worked out the way we had planned A day when life and the sun sent cheerful smiles at us from all sides Oh, what a wonderful day it is today!

185


Vakendröm kom nu med min vän och ta min tass varje steg vi tar är nytt där vi går så tittar grönska fram solen ler igen mot oss tänk att dagarna blir längre nu och mellanrummen suddas ut av skymningsljus tänk hur jorden doftar ny och blöt som nosen på en kattunge som spinner sött i en dagdrömmares värld färger lyser klara solen den går aldrig ned i dagdrömmarens värld kalla mig vadhelst du vill – en vakendröm jag är

Var en liten ekorre för världen / Be a little squirrel for the world Var en liten ekorre för världen och världen kommer öppna sig för dig Väck den sida hos dig som blivit tillsagd att vara något annat än den är Snart kommer det att röra sig bland bladen Ett välkänt ansikte vi återser Hur kunde vi den sidan en gång glömma Nu vaknar hjärtat till en nyfödd sång: Vårt stora ljus som lyser upp den väg till Kärleken som vi glömt bort fanns inom oss ~ Be a little squirrel for the world now and the world will open up to you Wake that part of you which has been told to be some other thing than what it is Now, see how it moves among the green leaves! A sweet familiar face we meet again How could it be, we one time just forgot it Now the heart begins to sing its song: Infinite Light Your truth lights up the path of love we had forgotten is within us all

Vem äger skogarna? Vi!

(2013)

Jag sitter högt upp uppe i ett träd, är trött på allt, vill inte längre vara med En massa ansikten och munnen glappar på dem Inget vettigt hörs, det är värsta mardröms-sången Så illa är det nu, bara ett träd är kvar I det håller jag när världen gått över styr Framgångssagan som vi alla trodde på luktar skämt, fast de städar och gnor på Skogarna, vem äger skogarna? Vi! Skogens djur! Ja, det gör skogens djur! Ett böjt träd är inte längre lönsamt alls Rakt ska det va, i en fyrkantsvärld i trans Nä, hellre bor jag då under en sten, än med de genmanipulerade … skogarna, vem äger skogarna? Vi! Skogens djur! Ja, det gör skogens djur! Kom och hälsa på mig här uppe i mitt träd Vi kan kasta kottar på dem där nedanför Vi ber dem att plantera fröna i en grop Snart så blir vi flera som hjälper våran skog

Vila Lugn, när mörkret sänker sig Vila, liv lilla, vila Lugn, när stillheten vandrar in Vila, liv lilla, vila Stilla vila Vila, liv lilla, vila Vilsam vila Vila, liv lilla, vila Det finns inget att grunna på Inget att förklara Det finns inga skäl för det, när du öppnar ditt hjärta för rymden inom dig

Vintern När natten börjar bli kall och löven har haft sitt fall samlar vi nötter i skafferiet … och annat gott att lägga dit Nu kommer vintern Pälsen börjar bli grå, helt klart är det visst så och alla djuren drar sig inåt och kurar och klurar på hur klara vintern Allt är stilla Allt tycks stå still När frosten kommer växer pälsen till På livets vinter lyser stjärnorna klart Det finns en värme i luften fast det är minus så klart Nu kommer vintern Wake up Every Christian (Muslim/Hindu/Buddhist) Every other human being Put down your weapons on the ground and wake up, wake up to the sun!

Wake up from the dream of reality You're not the person you imagine yourself to be Not the body Not the obsessed and worried mind, but unlimited space, unconditional presence, the essence and spirit at the heart of life itself So wake up! Wake up and realize it! Wake up from the dream of reality! Wake up leaf bud, be a leaf! (Ballad of a spring tree) wake up leaf bud, be a leaf! wake up to the great relief that spring is here again the sun comes closer to us all the light brings life and calls the scenery to bloom now you realize, behind the clouds there was a sunny blue sky and the trees that looked so dead now begin to tell their hidden secrets singing trees magnificent trees reach to the sky with their feet deep in the ground

191


We are Nature's creatures we are Nature's creatures wandering around in the world most of us have never heard what we are here for to do why listening to the teachers and the preachers they don't really know a thing everything that happens is in your mind and you are the creator of your mind We are one (two, three) take my hand and feel the power double imagine what a chain can do! connect the dots to form a bigger picture that is what we can do, it's simple as one, two, three! we are one … we are one, two, three! what is the message we're carrying? which are the seeds we sow? the truth told by yesterday's voices – have we listened? will someone listen to us? Welcome to the world Welcome to the world – it’s your birthday We’ll take care of you Welcome to the world! Never worry about a thing It’s your birthright to dwell in peace

192


What a relief! What a relief! I'm not my story Not my beliefs Not my thoughts Not my face What a relief! I have no boundaries I'm not my land There is no difference between us all Let it sink into your mind for a while that you're not the one in control Step back and let it be as it is and watch the flow When you get closer to life life will come to you It will give itself to you Just receive and keep what's true! White as snow your true nature white as snow in one tiny flake all the colors of the rainbow dance on a ray of light

Where are you now, my friend? where are you now my friend what do you do ‌ now? where are those tender hands that touched my soul and woke my heart? you are the lamp that lights in my darkest moments Wherever you go there is a little squirrel watching over you (2014) wherever you go there is a little squirrel watching over you wherever you go there is a little squirrel we are even in Australia and on the southern and northern pole and if you not have seen us there then you haven't watched closely enough come and dance the little squirrel's dance now dance around the tree

194


Whole and complete What a relief I am whole and complete No reason to fight for something or to compete Whatever I feel or whatever I see is a perfect expression of reality Wild life Wild life, it's a wild life Life is such a wild life for me The dance of life dances around me But here is so quiet in the eye of the storm Help me, I'm lost in this sad and lonely place Maybe it's wrong, but that's how it feels People around me ‌ so happy and alive! But I just can't find any reason to smile at all

195


Wings to fly / Du ger mig vingarna you give me wings to fly high up in the sky when everything looks so dark and cold in life, then you give me strength enough to lift from the ground for a new and brighter view sun is shining smiling stars heart is singing eye is clear you give me wings to fly high up in the sky ~ du ger mig vingarna som för mig fram du ger mig vingarna som för mig hem när allting känns så kallt och mörkt överallt ger du mig mod och kraft att lyfta mot skyn till en helt annan syn glädje strålar, stjärnan ler, hjärtat sjunger, ögat ser du ger mig vingarna …

You are furfect as you are when you see a little squirrel then look deep into its eyes it will dingidingidingdong dingdong all your belief systems they will all soon fall apart to the sound of dingedingedingdong ding dong bells they are ringing, lights they are spinning and a little squirrel will soon take command over your world that has fallen apart to the sound of dingidingidingdong dingdong you are furfect as you are nothing to add or fix my dear just relax and squirrel down and wear that tail just like a crown You are in my heart when the world is upside down, you turn it right just by being your own guide in a world full of traps of all kinds, you keep yourself steady as a rock, and ‌ you are in my heart, now and forever when I look down in deep despair, you tell me there is nothing to fear and when the sun feels like it is dark in daylight, you show me where I have the power to fight on you are in my heart, now and forever

You are my very furry, very best friend you are my friend my very furry, very best friend to be with you is happiness I long to see your happy face again you are the sun I'm orbiting you are the moon, the sky, and everything Your love shakes my heart

(2013)

Your love shakes my heart The essence in me felt the essence in you They went along and followed each other in a play of hearts Your love shakes my heart In song after song we looked for the highest notes until we heard nothing, and then stayed there Your love shakes my heart Inside of me is only you, but what is left of me in you is just an echo of my heart Your love shakes my heart
