CHORUS
Bm D
These people we meet along the way
Bm D
These people we meet and their impact just doesn’t go away
1
F#m
We meet them half an hour maybe half a day
F#m A7
But we’ll never forget, what they had to say
2
They’re so inspiring in their ideas and how they conceive
the world, our feelings and what they believe
3
O, we wonder, do they know how much they matter
to our hearts and our desperate souls
BRIDGE
Bm F#m D A
Soulmates – Along the way
Bm F#m D A
This strong bond – goes all along

Em Hm D Am
What are you thinking, I don’t know
Em Hm D Am
What are you feeling, please let it show
Em Hm D Am
At times it feels so good, just the way it should be
Em Hm D Am Em Am Em
But then again there’s such a distance between you and me
2
One look in your eyes, how can this be
I feel lost immediately
It’s so intense, this sensation
Have never felt it before, want it to go on and on
REFRAIN
C G D Em C
Now you will leave and I will feel deceived by fate
C G D D7 C
Letting me meet and then take away my soulmate
C G D Em
I know it will crave, my soul
C G D D7
You are way too good
Em
Too good to go
3
I wonder, how would this go
If we’d have time, to let flow
All of our feelings, without the thoughts
Of the time, that is way, way too short
4
Now that you’ve left, I feel so alone
I realize this has to go on
I desperately have the need to tell you
That you and me, I want it to become true

Em Am
I’m lying in my bed and I feel lonely
Am Em
I really feel the need to be at home
Em Am
There are a lot of nice people around me
Am Em H7
But still I feel like I am all alone
REFRAIN
II: Em G Am Am/H C D :II
Oh, I’m a traveler! Oh, a lonesome traveler!
And despite the great experience, sometimes I feel alone
Oh, I’m a traveler! Oh, a lonesome traveler!
A journey abroad can let you sense, how great it is at home
2
It’s amazing to be on this great adventure
To see the world, to be completely free
To be alone makes this trip so much more pure
But sometimes all I need is familiarity
3
I learn a lot about myself by comparing what I see
To all the things at home and to what I believe
The one thing that I miss though is the long lasting bond
Connecting me to friends that I’ve known all along

Gm Fm
I’m sitting on a bench in the woods
Gm Fm
hoping to feel good
Gm Fm
I haven’t seen the sun in a while
Gm Fm
but I could use it for a smile
Gm Fm
I’m in a bad mood
2
Gm Fm Gm
Autumn seems so gray in its first days
Fm
can you feel the light change? Uuuh
Gm Fm
Days fade away way too short
Gm Fm
skies grow windy and cold
Gm Fm
weighs heavy on your soul
REFRAIN
Bbm Dm
I’m craving for the sun aaah
Bbm Dm
I sense that I am done aaah
Bbm Dm
Want to feel it on my face aaah
Bbm Dm D
Am hoping for some better days

Would You?

1
Am C Em Am
Would you shoot an unknown person who is like you and me?
Am C Em
Would you invent a bomb to kill hundreds randomly?
Am C Em Am
Would you give the order of attack although you know
Am C Em
That ten thousand people will suffer from the blow?
CHORUS
F G C Am
The evils of war, they make my heart sore
F D G G7
Because they’re not human anymore
C Dm G
Can you imagine what makes a person do all these things?
C Dm G
I do not feel the empathy to grasp any of this
F G C Am
What does a man feel when he commits such evil?
Dm G C
Does it hurt or does he feel some pleasure?
F G C Am
The threat of your own life, the will to survive
F G C
Does that justify any of these actions?
2
Would you force a mother to kill a child of her own blood?
Would you attack a person trying to save a comrade in the mud?
Would you help in systematic cleansing of minorities
Ending lives of innocent humans permanently?
3
Would you smack a child against a tree until it dies?
Would you throw a bomb to wipe out hundreds of lives?
Would you cause excruciating pain just to prove
Someone’s guilty of a crime he didn’t do?

Rise & Fall
05:51

II: Am C Em :II
CHORUS
Rise and Fall x3
Feel your breath as it comes and goes
Everything is in a flow
1
In spring the flowers bloom
In autumn they wither
In the morning sun rises, in the evening it sets
To make way for the moon
A life is born, it grows
Grows old and finally dies
Hunger and thirst arise
And fall silent again
2
A melody will sound
Only to fade away again
And so will the deep bond
To a long forgotten friend
Even the greatest empire will one day crumble
To make way for something new
Even the tallest, most eternal seeming mountain
One day returns to be sand in the blue
3
Hatred and war, they come to be
To be followed by times of love and peace
Nothing exists eternally
Is it not this impermanence
That gives us hope in times of darkness?
Is it not this cycle of life
That makes everything more beautiful
That lets life be more worthwhile?
There must not be sorrow or suffering
Be conscious
Be mindful
Be at peace

Two Souls
04:35

1
Em Bm C
Do you know the feeling that you
Em Bm C
Are not only one but rather two?
Em Bm C
One of you loves calm and loves peace
G H7 Em
But number two is opposite of this
No matter how often you try
To unite and satisfy
The needs of the two, you rarely feel
The joining of your souls coming to be
CHORUS
Bm C G
Two souls, I feel like I have
Bm C G
Two souls inside myself
D C Am G G/F# Em H7
Who knows, how do I bring them together?
2
I feel like I want to be alone
To think about life and turn of my phone
This time for myself is so precious to me
To reflect my thoughts and gather energy
On the other hand I often long
To be with friends and build strong bonds
I show off my skills, am looking for love
Feel like I am always on the move
3
Maybe it helps to change my view
To look at it in some way new
The sun and the moon, they take their turn
It rarely happens that you see them join
Nevertheless they both are free
To shine their light on us daily
Although they always fluctuate
They are balanced almost every single day
CHORUS II
Two souls, like sun and the moon
Who knows, they might always be two
But now I feel like I can embrace that
BRDIGE
C D Em
The sun and the moon
C D Em
If you can do start soon
C D Am Bm
To set your souls free
C F# H7
For balance is the key
4
So take this opportunity
To feel that balance is the key
If you give both souls their very own time
The calmness of you mind will be sublime

Cm Gm
I go through the day, it’s beautiful
Gm Cm
But I don’t see because my mind is full
Cm Gm
I’m in a bad mood, just had a fight
Gm Cm
Asking myself how to make it right
C# G#
Eventually I meet this guy
Cm G
He says “Hello, a buddhist Lama am I
C# G#
Let me tell you, as you look stressed
G G7
A little secret about happiness:”
CHORUS
Cm Gm
“Chinta Nalinos!”, the wise man says
Gm Cm
“No snowflake ever falls in the wrong place!
Cm Gm
So worry not and trust in life
Fm Gm Cm Gm Cm Fm Gm Cm Gm Cm
and finally you will be in peace at mind.”
2
I’m with my friends, having fun
Still I feel like I am on the run
My heart is full of random worries
I say to myself “Let me be in peace!”
Suddenly I hear my friends
Talking about a religion called Zen
I remember this wonderful phrase
That had impressed me in its very own ways:

Shepherd's Shelter

1
Am Em G Am
The shepherd is an exceptional man with many hidden talents
Am Em G Am
He’s seen the world, knows many things of peace and of balance
Am Em G Am
Takes care of his sheep, knows all their names, their needs and their desires
Am Em G Em Am
He leads them all across the land through storm and wind to the shire
BRIDGE
F C G Am
But/For even he who takes care of others, who seems so invulnerable and strong
F G Em Am G Em Am
Every now and then needs a place to feel at home
CHORUS
Am Em Am
II: Shepherds Shelter :II
C G Am Em Am G Em Am
Even he needs his own safe space
2
You’d think this shepherd calm and wise is happy by himself
Shows care and love to everyone, would never ask for help
But don’t be fooled by this disguise, don’t think that he never cries
This man, he also has some times when he needs a shelter
3
If you have a shepherd in your life who’s always there for you
Don’t forget he has his needs, be caring for him too
For a shelter doesn’t have to be a place necessarily
It’s also friends or family, where he can be free

CHORUS
II: Fmaj7 Cmaj7 :II
It’s time to go back home
No further the world to roam
It’s time to let things go
And give life a grateful bow
1
Fmaj7
To end this great experience
Cmaj7
To be with your old friends
Fmaj7
To relax your thoughtful mind
Dm Fmaj7 Cmaj7
And leave these days behind
2
To be thankful for the times you’ve had
To accept the feel of being sad
To reflect the special days that passed
And enjoy them to the last
3
To go back to a peaceful life
To stop to always strive
To give yourself your own space
And be in a homely place
