She was troubled.

Already gray, but only a decade old.

For a long time her mind was searching,

wishing for happiness and hope.

Always more or less lonely,

wandering from place to place.

Beautiful, loved and in peoples thoughts.

Even though she just did not know it.

A soul longing for life,

trapped in a body, with a mind fixed on darkness.

Thinking it is not worth it.

A soul bursting with colours,

painting rainbows on the walls.

People that were wondering,

hoping, wholeheartedly praying for her to be fine.

Someone, finally sighing with relief.

Knowing she is still out there.

Better now.

Fine, even though her mind sometimes still haunts her.

A girl growing up to be a strong woman.

With hope in her eyes,

a future within sight.

She has plans in the making.

And people out there know,

yes they know that she is just like a lioness,

strong, kind, loving and fierce.

A fighter out there.

Reaching her goals,

one after another.

The pain inside me is unbearable
Tempting me both night and day
I’m breathing these careful whispers
Wishing you’d be coming for me

I want to do what is just not allowed
Break the rules and throw open the doors
Cause I’m not as free as you’d think
And maybe my soul’s not as safe as yours

My friend, my lost one, I don’t know
Is your heart as shattered as mine?
Our plan A would hurt less
I don’t know where I have you and if you’re fine

I’m here when you need me
It’s a pain so strong
When you want me I’ll be free
Cause I just can’t tell you you’re wrong

.

– The one who is always waiting

–

Why is your heart so closed?

Why won’t you share your troubles?

Living by music someone else composed

All alone with your struggles

–

Tell me boy, where can I find the key?

Show me how I can open the door

Cause sharing could really set your heart free

Bring your ship into shore

–

I know what it’s like to be frightened

What it’s like to put your doubts first

Feeling like you always have to be right and

drinking the wrong things to get rid of your thirst

–

Boy, I really don’t have all the answers

But please try to open up to me

And we could both be like dancers

Dancing in front of the sea

– Lena

Without knowing the truth

I miss you

I do not know what’s right

But I miss you

I am waiting right here

Staying in the same spot

I am waiting for you to appear

We’ve probably both been through a lot

Waiting for you

But what if you’re waiting for me?

I am following a plan

But it’s a plan I can’t see

I am asking the Lord

“Please show me your way”

Because the pain that I feel

It grows stronger every day

– Lena

You’ve been telling me

you have never had a friend

who you could trust to never leave

stay with you til the end

–

You tell me I am special

Someone who you love

A friend who understands

Someone you can be proud of

–

Now I am telling you

My friend, it is an honor

You’re a star in a dark night

Green grass after drought

–

You keep telling me

How perfect you think I am

But girl, just look at you

Yes, honoured. That’s what I am

–

– Lena

I hope you will love me

Despite my flaws

They are many

–

I hope you will

Even though I am a mess

Almost every day

–

Please say you’ll love me

Even when I’m crazy

Just being me

–

Love me

When I’m scared of letting go

And of loving you

–

Tell me you’ll love me

Despite my scars

And my unlucky stars

–

Yes, I am afraid

Because I am me

And not like them

–

I hope you will love me

Even if I don’t

I need you to

–

– Lena

In a car heading nowhere

All I know is we’re heading south

I don’t know what we will see there

What words will come out my mouth

In a car heading far away

Just you, me and infinity

Leaving a place where we didn’t want to stay

Just you, me and holy trinity

You and I we’ve been fighting so hard

Trying to win every battle

Trying to choose every card

But now, we’re away from all the rattle

In a car going anywhere

You and I will find things we miss

But going away, out in the fresh air

We’re heading for greater opportunities
