Solen sakta dalar över ängen där du går
Annabelle med blommor i ditt hår
Pilen i mitt hjärta svider när jag ser
Annabelle en dröm men inget mer
fast möjligheten finns att du är kär
Annabelle, Annabella
Du ger mig ingen chans
Du låtsas om som om jag inte fanns
Och även om du inte känner någonting för mig
Annabelle jag känner nåt för dig
och möjligheten finns att du är kär
Annabelle, Annabella
Du ger mig ingen chans
Du låtsas om som om jag inte fanns
Annabelle, Annabella
Jag kommer ingen stans
Du låtsas om som om jag inte fanns
Annabelle, Annabelle
Månen sakta stiger över havets horizont
i vinden över ängen hörs ditt namn
Annabelle, Annabella
Du ger mig ingen chans
Du låtsas om som om jag inte fanns
Annabelle, Annabella
Jag kommer ingen stans
Du låtsas om som om jag inte fanns
Annabelle, Annabelle

A Thing Called A Feeling © 1985, Uppsala, Antiparos, Greece. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
a thing called a feeling I have within
a thing called a feeling let it begin now
the song of the heart life has lost it's wing
let this thing called a feeling begin
and everybody's talking a game of words
but really what we're doing is taking turns
to give and take that feeling the one that yearns
yes it's this that is everyone's concern
yes it's this that is everyone's concern
you tell me not to say a word, you beg me not to ask
just believe come with me into my world at last
so many moments close to you but I just look away
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid
of this thing
and this thing called a feeling I have today
and all I want to do with it is give it away
I do not want to turn my back and be afraid
of this thing called a feeling here today
of this thing called a feeling here today
you tell me not to say a word, you beg me not to ask
just believe come with me into my world at last
so many moments close to you but I just look away
I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'm afraid
of this thing
and this thing called a feeling I want with you
we'll find a higher meaning when we are two
so let us stop this dreaming, let's make it true
let this thing called a feeling come alive
let this thing called a feeling come outside
let this thing called a feeling...
begin
Bending my Mind © 1996, White Horse, Canada. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
Bending my mind
One day at a time
The people that I meet along the way
They all play a part
In opening my heart
To the world where I live
I’m learning how to give
‘Cause everybody’s teaching me
And this I have to say
Bending my mind
One day at a time
Bend it to the shape of a heart
Bend it, bend it to a heart
Now I can see
Just what you mean to me
Your eyes tell me much more than you will say
And I have been a fool
For following such rules
Like the ones that were taught
By those who have been caught
In that ancient web of lies
Where the heart life slowly dies
Bending my mind
I’m leaving that behind
Bend it to the shape of a heart
Bend it, bend it to a heart
Hey hey hey
Yaah yaah yaah
Bending my mind
One day at a time
Bending my mind to a heart
Bend it, bend it to a heart
Bend it, bend it to a
Bend it, bend it to a
Bend it, bend it to a
Heart ...
Bird in a Cage © 1997, Victoria, Canada. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
the darkness of words has enslaved me for worse
as you smile at the bird in the cage
you pointed and said "that’s your hand that’s your head"
and you wrote down these words on the page
and because of your smile and the warmth in your breast
I was fooled to believe you knew best
now the language I use has got me confused
I am trapped in an act on a stage
all the castles of sand will all lose their command
see the tide breathing out on the shore
and the world that you build has been patched has been filled
there are cracks in the walls and the floor
but the wind in the fields have no words to obey
brother sun, sister moon, night and day
why you torture your mind with beliefs of some kind
that prevent you from opening the door
what is false what is true
what is me what is you
what are words do they mean anything
and this world so mundane
walking blind with a cane
up the stairs down the halls made of words
in acceptance of what i have heard
the darkness of words has enslaved me for worse
foolish bird with two wings in a cage
fly away little bird from your cage
Bleeding Red © 1998, Victoria, Canada. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
I'm waiting in the desert rain
every second every grain of sand
every heart beat's written in your name
I'm waiting in a desert land
I'm waiting for you
just waiting
I'm waiting for you to come home
oh my love, there's flowers in your room
I've written both our names in stone
on the rock that fell from the moon
I'm waiting for you
just waiting
my heart is beating faster every time I hear a sound
I think it's you but... then... I know you're not around
I'm looking through my window the leaves are falling down
I'm bleeding red
I'm longing just to hear your voice
just to walk with you across the fields
well I guess you felt you had no choice
just remember that my heart is sealed
I'm waiting for you
just waiting
I've read your note a hundred times I'm starring at the wall
I'm looking at the street below, don't wanna fall
I'm hanging on to you but I'm not sure you care at all
I'm bleeding red
my heart is beating faster every time I hear a sound
I think it's you but... then... I know you're not around
I'm looking through my window the leaves are falling down
I'm bleeding red

Tunnelbannan går ner på raka spår
Människor strömmar in se upp för dörrarna
Bilar i en kö,ingen kul miljö
Alla ska till jobbet det är måndag
som en flock av får ner på raka spår
men du undrar vad du kan bli
Du kan leva i en dröm
Du kan vakna från din sömn
Du kan välja vad du vill vad du vill va
Du kan ta ett första steg
Du kan sluta vara feg
om Du vill Bli Fri
Jag åker utomlands söderut nånstans
sen kommer jag hem till Sverige
men nånting här är fel jag känner mig så stel
nallen ger mig ingen värme
men nu vänder jag ett blad nu hör jag en parad
“Sverige kom loss – va Fri !"
Du kan leva i en dröm
Du kan vakna från din sömn
Du kan välja vad du vill vad du vill va
Du kan ta ett andra steg
Du kan sluta vara feg
om Du vill Bli Fri
Du kan välja dina ord
Du kan sluta på att tro
Du kan stänga av din TV och gå ut
Du kan lyssna på dig själv
Du kan gå din egen väg
om Du vill Bli Fri
Titta upp så får du se
Solen gul och Himmlen blå
Du kan leva i en dröm
Du kan vakna från din sömn
Du kan välja vad du vill vad du vill va
Du kan ta ett tredje steg
Du kan inte vara feg
om Du vill bli Fri
Du får inte vara feg
om Du vill Bli Fri
Blowing in my sail © 1998, Victoria, Sweden. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
The wind is blowing in my sail
in my sail
in my sail
I'm bound across the open sea
op en sea
open sea
the ocean waves are rollin'
the rhythm of the sea
and you and I and everyone
in the ocean waves
in every country 'round the world
'round the world
'round the world
I see the sunlight in their eyes
in their eyes
in their eyes
and every heart is blooming
opening to the sun
and you and I and everyone
in the ocean waves
on the horizon I see land
I see land
I see land
and from my boat I swim ashore
swim ashore
swim ashore
and there is music in the air
of people singing songs
and you and I and every star
in a melody
and you and I and everyone
in the ocean waves
of love
Blowin’ in the Heart © 2007, Uppsala, Sweden. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
How many points must a man listen to before it will change his mind?
And how many times can a man look away until he admits he’s been blind?
And how many lies can a man swallow down before he will see what’s behind?
The answer my friend is in the heart of man
The answer is in the heart of man
How many times must man defend his beliefs that he claims to be true?
And how many times can the media get away with pulling the wool over you?
And how many experts do you believe without doubt before you can see right
through?
The answer my friend is in the heart of man
The answer is in the heart of man
How many truths do we adopt from elsewhere thinking that they are our own?
How many words have entered our ears and made themselves feel right at home?
How many days are left for this dream until it’s been utterly blown?
The answer my friend is in the heart of man
The answer is in the heart of man
How many deaths does a child have to see on TV to know it is wrong?
These programs are teaching our children to fear ‘cause violence is shown all
day long
Till it’s been accepted no longer rejected till voices will rise with Superman
and King Kong
The answer my friend is in the heart of man
The answer is in the heart of man
By The Seashore © 1986, Uppsala and Playa Santiago, Sweden. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
We walked along by the seashore
I felt the waves rolling in
to see the universe dancing
while every moment begins
the sky is screaming "forever"
you don't need anything
the naked mountains in heaven
the distant memory it brings
and in the mystical moment
I'm flying home with the wind
and all my inner desires
I give them back to the wind
I want to die, I want to give away
all the things that I am
and all the millions of voices
I hear them say the same thing
And in the wonderful moment
I'm lying down by your side
and all the joy I am feeling
to know you're here by my side
but I will leave and go away
and I have left you behind
so now I'm left with a memory
of how we touched deep inside
Can't Find You © 1997, Salt Spring Island, Canada. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.

Traveled round the world
sailed the seven seas
met princesses and prostitutes
but none of them could please
I can't find you
can't find you
my heart is blue
in the streets of Casablanca
I went searching for your face
in the shadow of the alley
went through all of the cafes
I can't find you
can't find you
my heart is blue
I found the holy grail
I found eternity
found the answer to the riddle
of life's mystery
but I can't find you
can't find you
my heart is blue
I was searching in the stars
for a message in the sky
I was praying to the moon
is there any reason why
I can't find you
cannot find you
my heart is blue
I found the hidden door
to the alter in the sky
I found eternal life
I'm never going to die
I found the holy grail
I found eternity
found the answer to the riddle
of life's mystery
but I can't find you
can't find you
my heart is blue
Children's World © 1997, Toronto, Canada. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
Born as a child I had no ideas
no morals no rules in my mind
glorious was then the sight of the trees
dancing in bliss with the wind
the clouds in the sky
they were speaking so clearly
about the kingdom that I'd been born
the mountains were mighty revealing the power
of something not quite understood
but as I grew older
they taught me the morals
of how things are to be seen
it filtered my vision
created division
it distorted the world of my dream
I was free as the wind I was fresh like the sea
I was dancing in grace like the bird
I knew nothing of fear and knew nothing of hate
it had no existence for me
now my souls is in pain and my mind is confused
a state which we seem to be in
oh but tell me my friend can we get back again
to the land where the freedom reign?
and now I'm much older they taught me the morals
of how things are to be seen
it's filtered my vision
created division
it distorted the world of my dream
Yes I was born as a child I had no ideas
no morals no rules in my mind
glorious was then the sight of the trees
dancing in bliss with the wind
the clouds in the sky
they were speaking so clearly
about the kingdom that I'd been born
the mountains were mighty revealing the power
of something not quite understood
but as I grew older
they taught me the morals
of how things are to be seen
it filtered my vision
created division
it distorted the world of my dream
and now I'm much older they taught me the morals
of how things are to be seen
it's filtered my vision
created division
so now I'm in search of my dream

The pounding in my heart goes boom boom boom
every time you walk into this room
an arrow in my heart
I don't know just where to start
I'm confused and I am terrified of doom doom doom
I'm standing down below your balcony
I look at you when you don't look at me
I'm really rather shy
I'm an introverted guy
I live inside a lonely melody
I've got you in the corner of my eye
I've got you in the corner of my eye
no need to say a word
you are positively heard
'cause I've got you in the corner of my eye
you're talking and you're laughing with your friends
I'm suspicious, I believe you just pretend
well I know the stakes are high
we could love or we could die
there's no telling what is coming 'round the bend bend bend
I've got you in the corner of my eye
I've got you in the corner of my eye
no need to say a word
you are positively heard
'cause I've got you in the corner of my eye
Dream Land © 1985 Antiparos, Greece. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
Dream land, dream land
Dream land, dream land
Let me show you the dream in my heart
Let me try to explain
I know there's love but when will it start
Please put an end to my pain
I want the
Dream land, dream land
Dream land, dream land
Just let it go and follow the flow
Just try to relax
The mind is only a thinking machine
There are no facts
There's only
Dream land, dream land
Dream land, dream land
I'm always thinking there's something out there
somewhere far away
But then I hear this voice in the air
You're life is here today.
You're in the
Dream land, dream land
Dream land, dream land
Dreams © 1986, La Gomera, Canarie Islands. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
Melody was written
in the morning in a cave in Playa Santiago, La Gomera.
Dreams all my lovely dreams
where have they all gone
I'm losing one by one
all my dreams all my dreams
don't leave me
Dreams when will I believe
why I let them go
the world has told me so
now I want to believe
in my dreams
Dreams till the end of time
Dreams till we've crossed the sky
all I want all I feel
and I know I'll make it real
Dreams have been born in me
Dreams make reality
I need you
I have to come through
and we'll live in each others dream
Dreams visions of my world
how I long to see
a world where love is free
there's no fear we are near
that's my Dream
Dreams till the end of time
Dreams till we've crossed the sky
all I want all I feel
and I know I'll make it real
Dreams have been born in me
Dreams make reality
I need you
I have to come through
and we'll live in each others dream
Dreams till the end of time...
ett ögonblick © 2000, Uppsala, Sweden. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
Natten kom dagen gick
i ögonen en ensam blick
du väntade på killen din
i ögonen en ensam blick
hjärtat slår inom mig
jag vågar aldrig gå till dig
den enda kärleken jag fick
var den du gav i din blick
den enda kärleken jag fick
i ögonen ett ögonblick
Du for iväg med killen din
nej aldrig blir du flickan min
ja ensamheten är min vän
men minnet av dig lever än
med långt ljust hår och gyllene mun
du kysser mig i min dröm
den enda kärleken jag fick
var den du gav i din blick
den enda kärleken jag fick i ögonen ett ögonblick
jag älskar dig, je t’aime, I love you
håll om mig that’s all I want to do
Nu väntar jag på gryningen
för solen varm är kärleken
dagen kom, natten går
men minnet av dig i hjärtat slår
vem var du vem var jag
när ögonen sa 'ja'?
den enda kärleken jag fick
var den du gav i din blick
den enda kärleken jag fick
i ögonen ett ögonblick
i ögonen ett ögonblick
Find the Sky © 1984, Uppsala, Sweden. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
find the sky look outside
and you'll know you're alive
high up there, a bird in the air
and you know he's alive
the wind is rushing over the hills
singing I am alive
but where is man, he's looking down
down, down to the ground
yes where is man, he's looking down
down, down to the ground
I need to be a naked man
I want to show who I am
I want to give, I really need to live
I want to be who I am
we need to show ourselves again
we've got to take off our clothes
and run through the fields
and run through the land
and leave the city behind - yeah
and run through the fields
and run through the land
and leave the city behind
The moon at night, a mystical sight
I feel that this is forever.
The stars are here, you know it is real
I feel like singing forever
I wonder where we'll live in the end
I wonder where we will be
when we have left this crazy world
will we know what we are?
when we have left this crazy world
will we know what we are??
Follow My Dream © 1986, Geneva. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
Follow my dream
No guarantee
No security
Still I'll follow my dream
There's gotta be more
There's gotta be more
There's got to be... more
So I'll follow my dream
So I'll follow my dream
The wind in the air
The sun in the sky
Now I feel alive
So I'll follow my dream
Follow my dream
There's no guarantee
And no security
Still I'll follow my dream
Still I'll follow my dream
Free as a Bird © 2015, Uppsala, Sweden. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
She said "Come to my world I will show you love"
I said "Why have you chosen me?"
She said "You are from the sky above"
I said "Yes that's true I am free"
I'm free as a bird just as long as I don't fall in love with you
I'm free as a bird when I'm living the life that I'm dreaming of
these shackles of love are not worth it if freedom is what I loose
I'm free as a bird when I'm single and I'm not in love
not in love with you
not in love
She said "Come here lay down I will make you warm"
I said "Tell me true what do you want from me?"
She said "Stay with me for nine months till our baby's born"
I said "Wait a minute! I don't want no family"
I'm free as a bird just as long as I don't fall in love with you
I'm free as a bird when I'm living the life that I'm dreaming of
these shackles of love are not worth it if freedom is what I loose
I'm free as a bird when I'm single and I'm not in love
not in love with you
not in love
I don't wanna fall
into schackles of love
I need to be free
I'm be free as a bird just as long as I don't fall in love with you
I'm free as a bird when it's not only you that I'm thinking of
this prison of love is not worth it if freedom is what I loose
I'm free as a bird when I'm single and I'm not in love
not in love with you
I'm free as a bird when I'm single and I'm not in love
Gamla stan © 2005, Uppsala, Sweden. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
Jag ställer ut mina tavlor i Gamla stan
Du tittar in genom fönstret och möter min blick
Jag plocker upp min gitarr i Gamla stan
Du står där i dörren och lyssnar med solsken i blick
Sen sa det klick
En känsla jag fick
I gamla stan härom dan
I mitt lilla galleri
Du klev in du blev min
Men stunden flög förbi
Och nu tänker jag på dig
När jag står vid mitt staffli
I Gamla stan
I Gamla stan
I Gamla stan
Jag skriver dig ett epost på T-centralen
Jag hoppas på att få ett svar från dig
Bara hej
Va med mig
I gamla stan härom dan
I mitt lilla galleri
Du klev in du blev min
Men stunden flög förbi
Och nu tänker jag på dig
När jag står vid mitt staffli
I Gamla stan
I Gamla stan
I Gamla stan
Garderob © 2016, Uppsala, Sweden. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
sanningen om politik i en garderob
fattig själ med klen logik, ett plus noll blir två
manlig makt, visst har nån sagt
att i gardroben finns ett lik
som e dinglar från en rostig spik
med en lögn i retorik
sanningen, en annan lögn, fast det vet du knappast om
och alla ord du läst i tidningen du borde tatt dom med en tång
för denna skrift ett farligt gift med en daglig dos är man på drift
på ett hav utan en horisont i en ankdamm trist och trång, kvack kvack
känner oro i min kropp för vårt fega fosterland
det finns ont om hopp, den rinner bort som sand
ja du vet den barnslighet när det fuskas i all hemlighet
där på skatteparadisets strand med en martini i sin hand
vetenskap en religion med forskning och bevis
den moderna nya barnatron fast den är tunn och hal som is
nog är den rik med statistik fast den bryter lagen om etik
du minns väl garderobens lik som åt av arsenik
att styra tankarna med ord, mera lätt än svårt
soldaten som begick ett mord, minnet blir för hårt
flock av får lydigt går ner på traditionens djupa spår
som vi repeterar varje år idag som igår
ja garderoben står på glänt, vill du titta in?
in och se vad som har hänt, sluta vara blind
sanningen är ju den att vi varit slavar - kom igen
vi vill alla ha friheten under blåa himmelen
sanningen är ju den när vi känner själva meningen
med livet här på planeten...
under blåa himmelen
under blåa himmelen
mm mm mmm
under blåa himmelen
för tankarna är tvättade genom allt det där du läst och hört
och inte blir det något lättare när du tror att det är kört
om du vill ut då håll din trut kom och lyssna nu på sagans slut
sen så kan du vila här i en salig atmosfär
sanningen att vår frekvens är ej i harmoni
med hela rymdens referens kalendern e bara shit
ja minnsann, ett robotland, fast det finns alltid hopp, jag tror vi kan
va en människa igen, ja livet börjar sen
ja minsann, hon och han, och många andra här på vår strand
sen simmar vi i hav igen... under blåa himmelen
ja friheten är ju den när vi lever ett med sanningen
då öppnas evigheten... upp i blåa himmelen
i den blåa himmelen
Ghost in my House © 1998, Victoria. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
there's ghost in my house
I don't think it's a mouse
'cause when the clock strikes twelve
booo... oo... ooo
I curl up in my bed
did you hear what I just said?
there's a ghost in my house
booo... oo... ooo
I hear foot steps in the attic
now they're coming down the stairs
this is too dramatic
and so say all my hairs... brrr
my heart goes boom boom boom
oh please not in my room...
there's a ghost in my house
I know it's not a mouse
booo...oo... ooo

Love is a wind that blows in the trees
the sound of a thousand shivering leaves
and she's gone, gone away
why did she go, she wouldn't say
she wouldn't tell me, don't care anyway
now she's gone, gone away
Now I am praying to heaven above
but heaven don't care 'bout my feelings of love
why do I care I couldn't care less
loneliness has been my friend
It'll be that way down to the end
this letter to you I will send
the ocean is wild, I swim in the waves
I run through the woods I'm sleeping in caves
all alone she's gone away
she put on her dress she got in her car
she drove to the city so very far
away gone away
Now I am praying to heaven above
but heaven don't care 'bout my feelings of love
why do I care I couldn't care less
loneliness has been my friend
It'll be that way down to the end
this letter to you I will send
Yes I'm sending this letter, but before I do
I'll slip in the sketch, the one of you
now you're gone, gone away
And when you receive it wherever you are
you'll find the same message up in the stars
oh my love you've gone away
Now I am praying to heaven above
but heaven don't care 'bout my feelings of love
why do I care I couldn't care less
loneliness has been my friend
It'll be that way down to the end
this letter to you I will send
Good Galaxy © 2010, Alvor and Silves, Portugal. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
there's a galaxy
where everyone is free
no government can rule 'em
impossible to fool 'em
'cause they know who they are
and they don't have a scar
from the mem'ry of their childhood
cause love is understood
love is understood
this galaxy is good
and sometimes they will travel all the way to planet earth
or they might wanna to mingle by choosing their own birth
they are all messiahs and they know that we are too
that's why they're here to guide us to
see the real you
now this planet is in peril
this planet is our home
now she's being used for profit
now she's sinking like a stone
we need a revolution
i'm happy you agree
we need a real solution
something we can see
that'll really set us free
from a distant galaxy
and sometimes they will travel all the way to planet earth
or they might wanna to mingle by choosing their own birth
they are all messiahs and they know that we are too
that's why they're here to guide us
to see the real you
love is understood this galaxy is good
and sometimes they will take you to their galaxy above
the frequency of liberty in resonance with love
your inner most emotions will be finally coming through
and everybody there
can see the real you
can see the real you
to see the real you
to see the real you

hold your breath for nothing less than the warm guitar
now you’re here the choice is clear taste it while you can

move me closer move me high hold you warm and strong

Gypsy Queen with long black hair
and diamonds in her eyes
her voice is in the evening wind
as she sings her lullaby
she sings her lullaby
now the evening’s growing deep and dark
with diamonds in the sky
I went up near I went to hear
her gypsy lullaby
gypsy lullaby
she wore no rings no precious jewels
just diamonds in her eyes
she wore no pride she did not hide
herself behind a crown
self behind a crown
still her head was crowned with the milky way
of diamonds in the sky
her majesty of liberty
'cause the wind she knows by name
wind she knows by name
then she turned around and she looked at me
with diamonds in her eyes
my memory had come to me
as I crossed the sea of time
across the sea of time
to my native land where the heavens sing
with diamonds in the sky
where have you been my gypsy queen?
will you now be my bride?
will you be my bride?
and she held my hand she looked at me
with diamonds in her eyes
you are my king and I will bring
you back to the other side
to the other side
now the sky grew pale in the east
and the diamonds in the sky
were fading out but there’s no doubt
that our love would never die
love will never die
so my Gypsy Queen with long black hair
and diamonds in her eyes
and even though the daylight glows
there are diamonds in her eyes…
diamonds in her eyes

Hallelulelulelia,
this is how it all began
many million years ago
remember when we made that plan
the Big Bang universal scream
the jungle is alive
wake me up when the moon is round
and let me drown in your eye
in this song
it ain't long
but we could always sing it again
so let me tell you,
let me tell you what I think I'm gonna do
for you my goo-chi goo-chi boo boo
Hallelulelia!
Halleluleluleley
why are you so far away?
only you will fit my shoe
the mermaid of the Milky Way
the Big Bang universal scream
the jungle is alive
touch the earth, touch the fire
this is how we will survive
in this song
it ain't long
but we could almost do it again
I gotta tell you now I gotta tell you
that I think I'm coming through
for you my goo-chi goo-chi boo boo
Hallelulelia!
in this song
it ain't long
now this is where I think I belong
climbing up the mountain
swimming in the fountain
of the sun for fun
I gotta have this feeling...
Hallelulelulelia
this is how it all began
in these fields of Paradise
there's a woman walking with a man
will you be my honey pie?
will you tell me "YES"?
underneath the Big Blue sky
we'll build our little bitty nest
Halleluleley!
Hallelulelulia!!

Heaven is in that Air © May 1982, Victoria and LA at the Morgans. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
I love the wind in the sky
makes me happy inside
I think we must go back there
heaven is in that air
I look up in the sky
and feel the glory alive
white clouds float in the blue
it's for me and for you
I love to be by the sea
the ocean lives to be free
I feel closer to me
when I'm down by the sea
Sunshine is laughing out joy
giving life to us all
I'm high in heavenly joy
the sun is shining from home
Sunlight is dancing so free
glittering on the sea
I know this light is divine
it tickles joy into me
I want to show how I feel
and give you all of my love
Run up and hug you my friend
someday it will be real
I've lived a while on this earth
since the time of my birth
And still I'm puzzled inside
what's the key to my life?
I've been to many places
seen so many faces
I've looked for truth in their eyes
but mostly I've gotten lies
I feel a dreadful fear
of how we live on this earth
We've left our beautiful home
building a world of our own
Sometimes I wish I was dead
I can't get out of my head
I feel I'm trapped in my mind
it's talking all of the time
I love the wind in the sky
makes me happy inside
I think we must go back there
Heaven is in that air
I look up in the sky
and feel the glory alive
White clouds float in the blue
it's for me and for you

High In A Song © 1987 Uppsala and Toronto (Kensington Market). Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
Come right down again
Ten thousand voices singing in turn
Come right down again
We're talking to the human in you
Come right down again
To do what I can do and I say
come right down again
I know you know there's no other way
High, high in a song
All my emotions in the open air
High, high in a song
Flying away
Come right down again
And in the end there's nothing to hide
Come right down again
The dream of love is coming outside
In My Song © 1986 Alajero, La Gomera. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
I feel... strong
when I'm living in my song
when I'm flying through the open air
all my vision everywhere
and I can see
that everything's reality
so you can choose the high or choose the low
we're only moving in the song
we're only moving in the song
and all my thoughts that are bringing me down
I just don't wanna see them today
and all the millions of rules in my head
I 'll just take them and throw them away 'cause I can
see that it's not you and it's not me
but there is something right in between
yeah, now I'm really in my song
now I'm really in my song
and I feel strong
when I'm living in my song
like an eagle in the open air
all my vision everywhere
and I can see that everything's reality
so you can choose the high or choose the low
we're only moving in song
we're only moving in song
and all my thoughts that are bringing me down
I just don't wanna see them today
And all the millions of rules in my head
I'll just take them and throw them away ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
I will throw them all away
cause I can see the sun
shine today
don't wanna block that sun away
don't wanna block that sun away
don't wanna block that sun away

I’m away so far away
in a dream of a dream
I can see a brand new day
I’m sailing out to sea
I hear my father say
“Turn around my son”
But I look the other way
to the setting sun
Ah ahh ah ah ah ahhh
Hey ey ey eyyy
Ah ahh ah ah ahhh ahhh
Hey eyyy
Leave this world and say “good bye”
That’s what I’m gonna do
too many wars, too many lies
but now I’m coming through
Ah ahh ah ah ah ahhh
Hey ey ey eyyy
Ah ahh ah ah ahhh ahhh
Hey eyyy
Heaven is gone
While this war’s going on
I’m away

Take my hand and come with me
To m wonderful dream
And in this land you'’ll come to see
Isle of Paradise © 1992, Victoria. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
on the island they're living in paradise
the sky is golden blue
on the island they're living
in paradise the sky is golden blue
(each verse repeats twice as above)
in the lake we go swimming the water is warm
the sun is glittering
and the hills in the distance we're going there now
to wander through the land
are you coming we're leaving just wear what you want to
we're bringing our guitars
and we're singing the songs on top of the hill
the wind is in your hair
and the clouds in the sky we'll follow them down
to where they're going to
hey look up in the tree can you see what it is
the young one is ready to fly
and we're crossing the river over a log
I slipped and fell right in
so we laid on the rocks let the sun make us dry
and floated in the air
in the morning we rise with the sun in our eyes
on the isle of paradise
in the morning we rise with the sun in our eyes
the sky is golden blue
in the morning we rise with the sun in our eyes
on the isle of paradise

it's true that I've been brainwashed
by the words they want to plant
this culture and tradition
in a repetitious chant
all my friends they have opinion
to the left and to the right
I'm standing in the middle
I won't give up this fight
it is me that I believe in
it is me that I believe
I have seen the sky inside of me
it is me that I believe
the war of wills will always
try to bring me to my knees
'cause I don't wanna play this game
that they all think they need
they feel threatened by the vagabond
they do not want to know
that they've been in this jail
and could have left it long ago
it is me that I believe in
it is me that I believe
I have climbed the highest mountain peak
it is me that I believe
in this hurricane of life
in the middle of the eye
I'm waiting to be born
'cause I refuse to die
it is me that I believe
and he will argue that a million
people can't be wrong
so he'll adopt what they believe
and say that it's his own
and what if they've all did the same
yeah they just went along
how solid is the ground
that they think they're standing on
they're living in the past
they refuse to move ahead
they camouflage themselves
with conventions that are dead
they want to be invisible
they do not want to pay
the price of being vulnerable
when you turn around and say
it is me that I believe in
it is me that I believe
it is me that I believe in
in these scientific times
as we're formulating rhymes
captured in our mind
our imagination's blind
and the only words of freedom I can say
it is me that I believe
it ain't the politicians
making promises in vain
it ain't religious dogma
that's trapped the human brain
it ain't my family tree
nor the surname that I wear
no I wanna see the forest
I wanna breath the air
it is me that I believe in
it is me that I believe
I have seen the sky inside of me
it is me that I believe
It's so easy to condition © 2007, Uppsala, Sweden. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
It's so easy to condition
when there is no suspicion
making truth with repetition
some distraction and omission
after twenty years of infliction
your point of view is an addiction
and you avoid all contradiction
in order to protect your conviction
and you won't like this depiction
but I don't like this restriction
put on people who live with affliction
with confusion of what's real or fiction
now there is a solution
to these wars and this pollution
if we all make a contribution
to the next stage of evolution
so we'll save the creation
if we change the station
to the channel of celebration
with people of every nation
now let me say this in conclusion
we need to clear this confusion
and expose fear of its core constitution
as a liar of the future and the master of delusion
that's paralyzed the world into the status quo institution
that spoon feeds religion, hollywood and the theory of evolution
while the media machinery never ceases its systematic intrusion
making sure you believe in it and that your dreams are mere illusion
but alone at night in your bed you secretly dream of a grand revolution
where love conquers fear and triumphs as the inevitable, glorious and final solution
Kakao Flickan © 2017, Uppsala, Sweden. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
jag tog tåget till Paris i augusti sjuttiotre
där gick jag på en esplanad
hon vinka genom fönstret jag klev in och sa "Bonjour"
sen bjud hon på ett glas med choklad
sen gick vi ut och åkte opp till Eiffeltornets topp
en fantastisk utsikt över denna stad
sen gick vi genom parken och satte oss på en bänk
då tog hon fram en termos med choklad
mm mm mm mm mmm mm mm mmm
sen gick vi längs Champs-Élysées till hennes lägenhet
skojar du, huh, att jag va glad?
två koppar på ett bord i själva rummet där hon sov
hon hällde upp försiktigt varm choklad
vi kopulera så snart blir vi flera
så vi jubilera nu vill vi ha mera
choklad
hon kom upp med en bricka min kakao flicka
hon log och hon nicka att nu ska vi dricka
choklad
mm mm mmm
Nu bor vi en villa med tre barn som vi fått till
som hellre gärna dricker lemonad
fast det dröjde inte länge förrän hela vår familj
satte oss framför TVn med choklad
Det är många år sen nu som våra barn har flyttat ut
längs stranden går vi på en promenad
när solen sakta dalar över havets horizont
då skålar vi till livet med choklad
mm mm mm mm mmm mm mm mmm
Sen lämnade vi jorden och for upp till himlen blå
där änglar sjöng i kör vår serenad
ty himlen är en helig plats där glädjen är som störst
i evig tid vi njuter av choklad
fast vi reinkarnera vi vill inspirera
och dig informera att du bör konsumera
choklad
för solen som skiner och som apelsiner
den har vitaminer och sex endorfiner
choklad
ja minns änglarna sa, 'den där bönan är bra
o de den ska du ha, du kan dagligen ta
choklad
den ger dig stimulans och förför dig nånstans
till en smakfull romans, tänk dig om det ej fanns
choklad
nej jag vill ej predika men ska du ha fika
från Konsum och ICA då får du ej svika
choklad
men nu ska jag sumera och snabbt repitera
du bör investera för glädjen blir mera
med du vet vad

Looking for a Girlfriend
© 2008, Uppsala, Sweden. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
I've been looking for a girlfriend ever since I was born
I've been looking all my life, I'm feeling kinda worn out
of this ther is no doubt
I've been looking here and there
that's what this song is about
I've been looking for a girlfriend in the subway train
well I saw her sitting there, but what a bloody pain
to start a conversation with everybody listening in
no I didn't have the courage
I was too scarred to begin
I've been looking for her all my life
I've been looking for a real good wife
I've been looking for a girlfriend who's really good in bed
who's got a heart of an angel and a brain in her head
someone with figure that will make any man's head turn
when she's walking down the street
you tell yourself with her I'd love to burn
now I guess you're all a wonderin' why
I tell you it's because I'm shy
cause when I see a girl I like I'll make up an excuse
of not approaching her, I'll say, "What the hell's the use?"
she's probably married, she's busy, she don't wanna go
to the picture show
when I ask her I'll bet she'll say "No way Hosé!" even though my name is Hobo I mean Lobo
Now, I've been looking for a girlfriend on a Saturday night
well I saw her on the dance floor she was dressed in black and white
and she had red lips, wide hips, she's gonna get my bone
but when she started talking
I knew I'd rather be alone
Yes, I've been looking for a girlfriend it's my mission in this world
to find a perfect partner, the perfect pretty girl
I'm hoping she is listening to this song, my mating call, "Yoo diloodi loo"
cause if she's out there
I will... fall
Love Doesn't Work

Love my love where are you my love?
I need you my love come to me my love.
Love my love where are you my love?
tears run my face ‘cause I miss you my love
oh how I long to sink through your eyes
while you sink through mine
and we'll fall in love
and then I dream to walk hills and forest
to run through the meadows
with your hand in mine
Oh but love my love where are you my love?
I need you my love, come to me my love.
Love my love where are you my love?
I cry for you love please come to me love
and can you see the sun splash through clouds
like a bright symphony
playing music of life?
and can you feel the infinite sky
the mighty vast mountains
Oh, the Glory of Earth?
it wets my eyes with tears of hope
of living with nature again
and this my love is my ultimate dream
right next to the dream of you
Oh love my love we'll dance with the earth
we'll laugh with the sun and we'll run with the wind
Oh love my love I long for that day
when I can say "I found you my Love"
Love so hard to find © 1990, Victoria, Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
I am the sun you are the moon
You are the song I am the tune
We are a pair so far away
Why is love so hard to find
So many times I fall in love
I see the eyes I’m dreaming of
But when we start we make it end
Leaving love so far behind
We are one we are two
We are four lonely eyes
We are thousands of dreams in the sky
All around I can see we were meant to be free
In my heart there’s a sun on the rise
I am the wind
You are the air
I see your eyes
Everywhere
But when we start we make it end leaving love so far behind
We are one we are two
We are four lonely eyes
We are thousands of dreams in the sky
All around I can see we were meant to be free
In my heart there’s a sun on the rise
a sun on the rise
la la la la la la la laaa
la laaa la la la la la laaa
Love to rhyme © 1997, Victoria, Words by Ulf Enhörning.
I hate to rhyme
all of the time
but they say it's fine
that every line
of words will shine
when in rhyme
but it's a crime,
not worth a dime
when all the time
you stick to rhyme
it's like a sign
that says that I'm
so clever and fine
like sweet summer wine
almost sublime
‘cause I can rhyme
in every line
yeah, all the time
I love to rhyme
Lumbaiyai © 1985, Antiparos, Greece. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
gotta a little lumbaiyai
i live a little lumbaiyai
gotta a little lumbaiyai
i live a little lumbaiyai
gotta a little lumbaiyai
gotta a little lumbaiyai
you may ask yourself and all your pretty friends
why we live these lives with so much pretence
'cause every day is but a tiny grain of sand
in the desert of the lumbaiyai yai yai land...
all these words and definitions make no sense
still I can't let go and jump over the fence
cause I'm not sure and I still don't understand
but it all makes perfect sense in the lumbaiyai yai yai land...
Mad Metropolis © 1999, Victoria, Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
my self esteem is shattered don't ask me what i do
i'm terrified of questions coming from you
i'm living in a dungeon in the stench of piss
that's why i'm feeling like this
i've been feeling down so long but i really don't give a damn
these disney bisney people they wouldn't care to understand
this world is an asylum a mad metropolis
that's why i'm feeling like this
and the flowers are withering in the cold
and every song must come to an end
and i don't like the thought of growing old
but i will not kid myself and pretend no no no
i cannot find a lover who can satisfy
my confidence is crippled i'm too scarred to even try
i know that love is something that i really miss
that's why i'm feeling like this
and the wolf is howling at the moon
underneath the lonely sky
life is but a hopeless dream
there ain't no use in wondering why no no no
i'm lying in my bed room, empty bottles on the floor
the noise of distant traffic like the murmur of a war
it's been ten years since i saw you and i still think of your kiss
that's why i'm feeling like this
that's why i'm feeling like this
Malou © 2002, Courtney, Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
All I can tell you is I cannot let you go
Yeah you Malou
My heart is aching and about to overflow
Yeah you Melou
Your face is like a flower your hair is like a childs
When we walk in the rain
In the early morning hour when you’re walking by my side
Your love is my pain
Then you slipped away I turned around I saw you go
Yeah you Malou
I took the ferry over there was seaweed on the shore
Yeah you Melou
I asked around and soon I was a knocking on your door
Yeah you Malou
Maybe Heaven's on Earth © 1982, Victoria, Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
I've got a song I need to sing
a song of love and fear
The love of joy is in us all
And fear is keeping it away
We're paralyzed, we're in a spell
We've all fallen asleep
Now is the time to wake up again
And see that Heaven is here
The city life is filled with fear
nothing real is coming through
a phony smile, another lie
nothing real is coming through
I want to give my life away
I don't wanna hang on
I know there's more in life, so much more
And soon I'll open the door
The clouds of peace float silently
through the heavens of our home
Oh how I long for all to see
to see our heavenly dome
the sky is singing truth to me
my soul is flooding with joy
I know I'm home, I've been here before
I see that nature is home.
Merry Go Round © 1986, Youth hostel in Lille, France, Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
There are times when I fall to the ground
There are times when I'm low
Sometimes high and sometimes I'm down
Life's a merry-go-round
Like the breath of a soft summer wind
Like the storm in the fall
Sometimes lose and sometimes I'll win
Life's a merry-go-round
Making circles that never end
Always spinning, spin around
Sometimes high and sometimes I'm down
Life's a merry-go-round
There are things that I never can say
There are things I don't do
I repeat myself day after day
in my merry-go-round
There are times when I fall into love
But never down to the end
So I'll stay in my wheel high above
In my merry-go-round
Making circles that never end
Always turning, turn around
Sometimes high and sometimes I'm down
Life's a merry-go-round.
Up and down, spin around
In my merry-go-round
I just play every day
In my merry-go-way
La la la la la la la laa
Making circles that never end
Always spinning, spin around
Sometimes high and sometimes I'm down
Life's a merry-go-round

Stora stad med trång trafik
På krogen spelas jazz musik
Hon som sjöng var mycket lik
Min vän
Hon är skön hon gör mig glad
Blommor bugar sig i rad
Vindens sus i björkens blad
Min vän
Vägen till kärleken
Är lång på öppet hav
Människan har djupa sår
Jag undrar om vi någonsin får
Frihet från sorgens tår
Min vän
Vägen till kärleken
Är lång på öppet hav
och du musiken gav
för länge sen
och nu så sjunker solen ner
fast dagarna blir många fler
lyckodag när jag ser
min vän
ja lyckodag när jag får se

Mr. Fear © 1976, Toronto. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
Mr. Fear identify
and please don't give me any lie
tell me now where you come from
and why in my head you stay so long
Mr. Fear identify
oh listen, listen to my cry
you keep us far from all that's real
behind your dreadful walls of fear
Oh Mr. Fear I know you lie
to hide the truth but tell me why
I don't believe I can get by
if you will not identify
Mr. Fear I sigh, I cry
for I need, we need some reply
otherwise we'll still be shy
so please Mr. Fear identify
Mr. Fear identify
and please don't give me any lie
tell me now where you come from
and why in my head you stay so long
communication openly
is hard to do for you and me
when Mr. Fear is in between
we've got to end this awful scene
now some people I do believe
are not aware and can not see
that Mr. Fear is so involved
in our minds - this must be solved
Mr. Fear identify
and please don't give me any lie
tell me now where you come from
and why in my head you stay so long
Mr. Fear I sigh, I cry
for I need, we need some reply
otherwise we'll still be shy
so please Mr. Fear identify
I sing this song ‘cause not too long
I do hope this world will belong
to us and not to that Mr. Fear
whom we must kill is that clear?
when Mr. Fear is dead you see
mankind will be oh so free
but to kill him we must really try
to get him to identify
so Mr. Fear identify
and please don't give me any lie
tell me now where you come from
and why in my head you stay... so... long...

I’m sitting in a traffic jam
Just listening to the radio
Waiting for my favourite song to play on the air
I think it goes something like this
the beat would never ever miss
and it would make me feel like I was flying through air
I flew across the city to the wide and open fields
up the hill and far into the woods
and there among the trees I saw a cabin by a lake
the feeling all around me was good
I knocked on the door and what do I see
a woman as lovely as can be
and she smiled and said “Please come in and sit down
Where have you been so long?
Where have you been?
Where have you been?”
Then someone honked their horn at me
I woke up in a traffic jam
I was wondering what’s the point of this if this is my fate
twenty minutes later
I walk into the office
my secretary asks me “why are you always late?”
there’s a piece of paper lying on my desk without a name
just a number and a message there to call
I recognized her voice when she answered with hello
she told me that she lives beside the mall
I knocked on her door and what do I see
a woman as lovely as can be
and she smiled and said “Please come in and sit down
Where have you been so long?
Where have you been?
Where have you been?”
I told her I’ve sailed around the world
been married have four boys and one little girl
fought for democracy was arrested and jailed
eight years for nothing done wrong
that’s where I’ve been
that’s where I’ve been
yeah that’s where I’ve been
ahh beneath the moon
and when we awoke with the morning breeze
I looked out the window and what do I see
the lake in the woods reflecting the laughter of sunlight
the notes of my favourite song
that’s where I am
that’s where I am
yeah that’s where I am
Now I’ve turned up the volume so people can hear
yeah life is a dream like a car you can steer
and here is the map with directions to find your own power
to follow the bliss in your heart
now that’s what we want
that’s what we want
yes that’s what we want
Now the clouds have all gone so it’s easy to see
that blue is the colour of eternity
the view is real nice when you’re standing on earth up in heaven
The chorus of my favourite song
that’s where we are
that’s where we are
that’s where we are

that you'd rather be with me than to be with him
I believe you know my na name
I believe you know my name

I believe the stars are all apart of this game

jag håller dig i famnen
sen följer vi vinden till Afrika
och simmar in till strand
vi går på en naturesplanad

not every boy and girl likes to play out in the rain
eat their vegetables like mommy said
not every boy and girl likes to come home from the park
put away their toys and go to bed

swimming, skating, skipping, playing riding on my bike
this is what we like to do...
jumping, catching, running, fetching
playing in the park staying out till dark
is fun for me and you
but not for everyone...
but I just know that...
everybody like to poo

And I’ll sing my song the world will be my stage
Cause this is the way to freedom from my cage
A
thousand speakers amplified
In all directions far and wide
I’m singin’ dancin’ strummin’ my guitar
One day I’ll be a star
One day
I’ll sing it from my heart
Today is a good day for me to start
Test 1,
2, 1, 2, I’m
on the air
The crowd’s excited ‘bout the beat boy
over there
A
thousand speakers amplified
In all directions far and wide
I’m singin’ dancin’ strummin’ my guitar
One day I’ll be a star
And
everyone in TV-land
Would wish that they could see my band
Standing on the mountain where we are
One day I’ll be a star
One day I
will make it real
I will sign a record label deal
An’ you’ll be listenin’ to my music in your car
One day I’ll be a star
and when
you look up in the sky
you’ll see that freedom is the reason why
that every heart is singing from afar
One day some day
Today I am a STAR

If only I could be what I want to be

If only I could be what I want to be
I'd sail in the open air
Hey, hey, hey, fly in the air
Blue is the colour
And I'm singing it
Hey, hey, hey, I see
Opening my Dream
Opening my Dream
I just love to lay down and look up in the sky
I love to look at all the clouds go by
Following the wind in a dream of peace
That's where I want to be
and that's where I will be
I 'm following the wind in a dream of peace
and that's where I want to be
Hey, hey, hey, fly in the air
Blue is the colour

Pepper Spray Democracy © 1997, Victoria, Canada. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
China has invaded Tibet
don’t let anybody forget
they killed a million people and more
and what do you think that was for?
and Canada will not intervene
oh tell me what do you think you mean?
you’re kissing a murderer’s hand
under pressure from the business man
while prisoners are tortured by fire and by glass
you talk about the future it’ll be just like the past
and the pain of the present, you just let it pass
will you ever stop kissing China’s ass?
in the name of human dignity
please open up your eyes and see
there’s people just like you and me
they have a right to dignity
in the name of human righteousness
we’re asking you to do your best
for victims that are now oppressed
we’ve got the power in the west
Yeah…
this world is one
we are the human race
what have we done to the world we love
underneath the blue sky
this world is one…
did you give the orders to the RCMP
to pepper spray democracy?
did you satisfy the Chinese president?
did you wonder where your courage went?
you honor them with words of praise and then you raise your glass
they drink with you and shake your hand and pat you on the back
the interests of the Chinese first and human rights come last
will you ever stop kissing China’s ass?
Yeah…
this world is one
we are the human race
what have we done to the world we love
underneath the blue sky
this world is one…
and prisoners are tortured and you just raise your glass
and the president of China, his face behind a mask
and you sign a billion dollar deal and you don’t feel like trash
in helping corporate criminals whose priority is cash
instead you try to silence those who remind you of your task
to stand up strong against what’s wrong in a noble human act
in doing what is best for those who suffer beyond grasp
in the name of human dignity this is why we ask
in the name of human righteousness this is why we ask
oh prime minister Chretien we have come to ask
will you ever stop kissing China’s ass?

now I don't like to tell no lies
don't consider that to be wise
so this is true I swear to God
my hand's on the Bible
see me and my friends just kickin' around
tryin' to kill some time in this boring town
so the Roxy is where we decided to go
with popcorn and coke in the twentieth row
now I can't recall what the flick was about
but that's not the point don't make me shout
I'm tryin' my best so please... be patient with me
be patient...
so half way through the picture show
I sniffed something they like to grow
on the island here in the summer time
for those who get headaches from red wine
yes there he was in front of us
and no one cared to make a fuss
but then he took off all his clothes
and walked slowly down the isle
my attention now it was divided
between the show and this naked man
I was thinkin' he must have decided
to follow God's given natural plan
so as the show was coming to an end
I thought I'd like to be his friend
so I defended him against the securities
threatening now to call the police
I said, "This man has done no harm,
there is no need to be alarmed
he's simply following nature's course
like any dog, cat, cow or horse."
and as I spoke these very words
I felt a blow like nothing worse
and when I woke up on the floor
I was wondering what in the hell that was for
my lip was blue and bleeding bad
I realized now that I'd been had
this naked man had lost his mind
he swung at anybody he could find
it took four cops to hold him down
they left with him when his pants were found
and me and my lip we went to see
the nurses at the emergency
she asked me why my lip was blue
I told her just like I told you
she sowed my lip up with a thread
and then she bowed... and kissed my head
so in the end it all worked out
and isn't that what life's about
see now I've come to realize
that Hell can change to Paradise
Sealed Secrets © 1997,
On AmTrac to LA. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
the wind is blowing westwardly
the clouds are hanging low
leaves are making circles
time is moving slow
summer now in memory
in the forest and the fields
and the moon is resting on the lake
where the secrets have been sealed
now they're talking loud and carelessly
over gin and caviar
the city lights are noisy
drowning out the stars
and Venus is still waiting
for salvation from her wheel
while Mars is lost at war again
and the secrets remain sealed
the secrets that are sealed
since the universe began
at the bottom of the ocean
buried in the sand
the secrets that are sealed
from the ordinary man
the galaxy is spinning
round the secrets in command
the ocean is a mirror
with the glory of the sun
dancing on the surface
in a language that is one
but you speak a different tongue
you keep grasping to your shield
protecting you from paradise
and the secrets that are sealed
and the poplar trees of Claude Monet
the children in the sand
on the San Francisco Golden Gate
dropping pebbles from my hand
and the poppies in the summer wind
warm emotion you can feel
that is deeper than the colour red
touching secrets that are sealed
the world wide web of words
that is growing by the hour
you visit all these sites
'cause information gives you power
you download text and images
all this data is revealed
but there's not a single clue as to where
the secrets have been sealed
my hands are fragile butterflies
with fingers that explore
you're lying with a candle
throwing shadows on the floor
you're offering your body
yes you want to make a deal
"I'll give you this" you say,
"for the secrets you have sealed"
and all these words that I believe in
are combined to form a string
woven to a blanket
that covers everything
it keeps me warm and cozy
on my ship without a keel
as I'm drifting with tradition
from the secrets that are sealed
the secrets that are sealed
since the universe began
at the bottom of the ocean
buried in the sand
the secrets that are sealed
from the ordinary man
the galaxy is spinning
round the secrets in command
Segel Dröm © 2017, Uppsala, Sweden. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
vassen böjs i viken, vi seglar ut i slör
solen leker på Mälaren som vi plöjer med vår för
här finns inga regler långt från stadens brus
kärleken på Mälaren, vågor i ett rus
när jag knäpper upp din blus
långt långt ut på havet, stjärnorna i skyn
varma vindar i från syd leker med ditt hår
jag ligger här och drömmer i staden där jag bor
jag lever i min fantasi om det jag inte får
när jag smeker dina lår
stora ögon ljusa som solen i de blå
läppar ler, till Gud jag ber 'Åh låt mig henne få!'
tillsammans kan vi stiga till en ny platå
njutningen, nu har vi den, jag hör den i din röst
när jag kysser dina bröst
på gröna horizonten, vi seglar in till land
denna ö är obebodd med en evig sommar strand
det känns som om jag drömmer men drömmen den är sann
för vi är här i vår egen sfär, frihet utan krav
när jag simmar i ditt hav
vi älskar hela natten tills himmelen blitt röd
på morgonen är kärleken i vila som en glöd
som aldrig går att släcka som aldrig når sin död
fast vilsen kan man bli ibland men jag hittar alltid hem
när jag älskar dig igen
vilsen kan man alltid bli i en stad i evigt brus
jag vill knäppa upp din blus
Something In The Air © 1978, Toronto (when Åsa slept over). Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
There's something in the air that is so wrong, wrong, wrong
I can't quite figure out what's going on
we never look into each others eyes
we're scared of something new that lies inside
and there's love in my eyes
so much longing in my heart
the wind of love is dancing in my soul
it's singing mighty strong
cause it sings an ancient song
of where and how we do belong
The man-made world is ugly ‘cause it's dead, dead, dead
there is no life in structures made by man and his robots
and this is partly why I am so scared, scared, scared
the only place left now to look is up
to look up in the sky
to look up and see the sun
yeah don't forget the glory in the heavens
it's singing mighty strong
‘cause it sings an ancient song
of where and how we do belong
Somewhere in the mountain © 1980, Toronto. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
Somewhere... Somewhere...
Somewhere in the mountain range
Somewhere in the mountain range
Somewhere oh in that mountain range
back in the mountains of ancient power
I know that there I can be freer
Blue Sky sings eternity
Oh what a feeling High in the Heavens
Up on a mountain, yes now I can see
Someday I will leave this world
Someday I must leave this world
Someday I'll have to go away
Back to the land where I belong
High on a mountain singing my song
Life there has better surroundings
Valleys below me, mountains so mighty
Blue sky above, open and free
Somehow I will find a way
Somehow I must find my way
Somehow I've got to find the way
Back to my life, back to the glory
Back to my song, that's where I belong
Sunlight you're laughing from heaven
Open my senses, burn down my fences
I have desire to go much higher
Up towards the sun, that's where I come from
Song © 1986, Subway in Lyon, France. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
Song ...
All I can see
All that I want to be
And that's a
Dream ...
All I can say
Now that I've found my way
Moving in sound
Spiral around
Bubbles of time
Drift away
Feeling at ease
Do what I please
Making my show
There's nothing to say
And that's a song ...
Simple and clear
Everything here
Open your eyes
Stop to pretend
Mystical stars
All that we are
Playing our game
‘Till the end
And that's a song ...
Diamonds and gold
Love could explode
Don't cut the beam
From our eyes
Butterfly hands
Touching your land
Hungry with joy
Oh my God!
And it's a song ...
Fear is a lie
Future unknown
Live in the now
Like the sun
Sun in the clouds
Laughing right out
Heavenly hills
In the sky
And that's a song ...
Forest of life
Women of lust
Sexual joy
You and I
Under the Sun
Live to have fun
Chasing the girl
Devil command
And that's a song ...
Stars Shining © 1986, Alajero, La Gomera. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
Words floating in the air
Why, why does no one care what they say
Sound everywhere around
Still, still we haven't found
Waves crashing on the shore of my world
Stars flying through the universe
Love is all I hear them say
You and me, everyone I see
All we got to do is play
Stars flying through the universe
Looking for that final day
Everyone right inside the sun
We live the easy way
Eyes touching other eyes
Feel, feelings rush inside of the storm
Where, where do we belong
Where, memories have gone
Far, all so far away from this world
Stars flying through the universe
Love is all I hear them say
At the source, in the force
All the sky explodes in white
Stars flying through the universe
Looking for that final day
Everyone right inside the sun
We dance with all our might
You, you and then there's me
Why, why we never see what it means
Sound everywhere around
Still, still we haven't found
Waves crashing on the shore of my world
Stronger now © 1976, Toronto, Canada. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
Stronger now
Stronger each day
Stronger now in every way
We will be stronger again
Let’s go stronger now
Sing out loud
Explode out yourself
Like the shining sun
We will be stronger again
Let’s go stronger now
Yes I know we’ve all been hurt
But we’ll only get stronger
So don’t give up just take a deep breath
And we’ll sing out even lou ou ouder
Stronger now
Stronger each day
Stronger now in every way
We will be stronger again
Let’s go stronger now
Yes I know we’ve all been hurt
But we’ll only get stronger
A flower’s different from a tree you know
And still the flower doesn’t think she is wrong no no no
So one two three
let’s go forth you and me
I’m sure we all agree
Four five six
No no magic tricks
Just believe and love yourself
Just believe and love yourself

It's gotta be what I want to be now
Or it will never be real
It's gotta be what I want to be now
Or it will never be real
It's gotta be what I want to be now
Sugar in the right time
Hey hey hey
Sugar in the right time
Come and stay
Sugar in the right time
Over me
Sugar in the right time
Oui oui oui
It's gotta be what I want to be now
Or it will never be real
It's gotta be what I want to be now
Or it will never be real
It's gotta be what I want to be now
Sun is here © 1986, Playa Santiago, La Gomera. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
Sun is here, I think it's forever;
I want to be here, let's stay here together.
Sun is here, it's shining for you and for me;
Today, right here, that's all I can see.
When will we begin to believe it;
I wonder when I will really receive it.
When will we begin to take life in our hands;
Today, right here, it's in our command
Sunlight in my Feeling © 1986, Playa Santiago, La Gomera. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
Sunlight is my feeling
In blazing white.
Rising pushing me higher;
Life is my own.
Now I know the meaning;
Of wrong and right.
Sunlight in my feeling;
I'm here today.
Sunlight in my feeling;
And here I'll stay.
Sunlight in my feeling ;
Sunlight in my feeling
In blazing white
Reaching for the ceiling
I'm in delight
Now I've got the power
To say I'm right.
Sunlight in my feeling;
In blazing white.
Take Time © 1986, Taghazout and La Gomera. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
Take my time
Doin' it right
Take my time in the day
And take it in the night
Take my time
Letting things go
There's no need for a rush
Let's do in nice and slow
Take... it easy
Now that's the way, I know how to please me
Take... it slowly
I wonder why nobody told me how to
how to
Take take time
Take take time
Take take time
Taking time
Take my time
Watching the show
It's a crazy race
I wonder if they know
Take all time
And throw it away.
I don't need no rush
I wanna live today
Take... it easy
Now that's the way, I know it'll please me
Take... it slowly
And maybe you, yeah you can show me how to
Take take time
Take take time
Take take time

The sun is on your side © 1976, University of Waterloo, Canada. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
I wake up with the morning sun
a new day has begun
the sun is smiling on my face
and warms me deep inside
I run into the woods and greet
the new day to the trees
the birds, they dance and sing my song
in the morning breeze
and you know I am alive
I feel so good inside...
laughing, singing all day long
the sun is on my side
It's almost unbelievable
how lucky we can be
we're living on a planet
where we can be so free
like the wind free and wild
rushing through the land
so must man become alive
I know we really can
and you know it's not a lie
I'm singing from inside...
laughing, singing all day long
the sun is on my side
then the clouds begin to sing of Heaven
And the wind whispers in my ear:
"You're alive, you're alive
there is no how or why
you are home
oh see the endless sky
you're alive, you're alive
there is no how or why
you're alive
and the sun is on your side."

I was walking alone
down the streets made of stone
I was thinking of love
is it something that women invent?
then the sky turned to grey
went inside a café
cup of tea, “keep the change”
“thank you” she said as she went
I noticed you sitting alone over there
you’re reading your book you seem unaware
of my presence and how I admire style
then all of a sudden you turned and you smiled
and whole wide world is shining
in your eyes I see
but time has no mercy in stealing the moment
and soon I was left all alone in the memory of dreams
so I walked down the room
said hello, sweet perfume
my guitar in my hand
and she asked me what songs do I know
as I’m singing her a song
a young man comes along
then they both have to leave
it was only a moment ago
that I noticed you sitting alone over there
you’re reading your book you seem unaware
of my presence and how I admire style
then all of a sudden you turned and you smiled
and whole wide world is shining
in your eyes I see
but time has no mercy in stealing the moment and
soon I was left all alone in the memory of dreams
time has no mercy in stealing the moment
and soon I was left all alone in the memory of time has no mercy
in stealing the moment and soon I was left all alone in the memory of
time has no mercy in stealing the moment and soon I was left all alone in
the memory of dreams

Turn Around © 1986, Lisbon, Portugal. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
The children gone
forever dawn
They always lose the fight
They join society
they say "reality"
I'm gonna jump
into my dreams
There's nothing here to lose
Change is now
all I want to do
Is make a change with you
I wanna turn around, I wanna turn around
And when I hear that sound I wanna turn around
I wanna leave my mind, I wanna leave my mind
And when I hear that sound I wanna turn around
My eyes are blind
my ears are deaf
My heart's afraid of love
I'm wasting all my time
such a common crime
You're fooling me
I'm fooling you
and still I think you're real
How long, how long will we fear
of doing what we want to do?
I wanna turn around, I wanna turn around
and when I hear that sound, I wanna turn around
I wanna leave my mind, I wanna leave my mind
and when I hear that sound, I wanna turn around
I wanna turn around
Turn around, turn around
Turn around, turn around
A strange belief
of right and wrong
It makes my guilt grow strong
Why did I believe
The myth is passing on
The magic moon
hypnotic tune
The galaxy of life
Touch my skin, longing to begin
To scream my burning fire.

Jag lever i en värld
Med färg o fantasi
Vad glad jag skulle kunna bli
Kommer du ihåg mig
Den första gång jag såg dig?
Som en blomma på en äng
hela himmelen lyste blå
Då tänkte jag nu blir vi två
Du skulle bara veta
Hur länge jag har letat
Runt hela världen efter dig
va med mig va med mig
alla stjärnor säger “ja”
du är en sol för mig
vill du inte va
med mig om jag vill va med dig?
ingen annan vill jag ha
va med mig va med mig
vill du inte va
med mig?
vill du gå över ängar av guld?
med mig
med mig
vill du dela en kärlek av guld?
med mig
kärleken kan komma
men lika fort gå bort
och tiden som vi har här är kort
för både man och kvinna
fast vi vill båda vinna
en kärlek som blir verklighet
va med mig va med mig
alla stjärnor säger “ja”
du är en sol för mig
vill du inte va
med mig om jag vill va med dig?
ingen annan vill jag ha
va med mig va med mig
vill du inte va

vill du gå över ängar av guld?

Jag bor här upp i Stockholm i en liten lägenhet
och jag jobbar som en gnet
varenda dag
när jag kom hem från jobbet fanns ett vykort som jag fått
med hav och himmels blått
så här det sa’:
Här är jag vid söderhav
jag plockar apelsiner
ingen stress, inga krav
där solen alltid skiner
Livet leker lätt o glatt
jag simmar med delfiner
Som hoppar högt med glädje för att
Solen alltid skiner
min morbror ja han lever just precis som han vill
ingen säger till
hur han ska va’
och jag vill också göra precis som jag vill
Jag kan inte sitta still
nu ska jag dra
Här är jag vid söderhav
Jag plockar apelsiner
Ingen stress, inga krav
Där solen alltid skiner
livet leker lätt o glatt
jag simmar med delfiner
dom hoppar högt med glädje för att
solen alltid skiner
här är jag på söderhav
och leker med blondiner
jag är en lycklig scandinav
för solen alltid skiner
jag är en lycklig scandinav
för solen alltid skiner

Du är en vind från tropiskt land
Jag seglar in till dig på strand
Vi simmar ut i ocean
i nattens paradise
Vi är en, Vi är två
fyra ögon som ser
en kärlek som speglar varann
i en evig sekund när månen är rund
och solen i hjärtat är varm
Vi klättrar upp till bergets top
till härlighet i själ och kropp
och hela himlen lyser blå
i dagens paradise
Vi är en, Vi är två
fyra ögon som ser
en kärlek som speglar varann
i en evig sekund när månen är rund

Vill du älska med mig säg mig om jag får?

I en hemlig skog och i stadens gröna park
Vill du älska med mig på helig mark?

nu kommer det att bli
En värld med skönhet och romans
Nu är vintern slut, nu känner jag att det slår
Vill du älska med mig nu är det vår?
Ja jag går på stigen ner till en sjö
ja du är den skönaste som finns
o när du ser på mig står hela världen still
ja jag vet vad du vill jag är din prins
nu är vinden fri
nu kommer vi att bli
nu kommer vi tillsammans i en dans
nu är solen varm, nu är vinden i ditt hår
Vill du älska med mig nu är det vår?
Jag vill älska med dig nu är det vår

nu är våren här
snön har tinat bort
nu kommer alla begär
att vakna inom kort
för när jag ser dig gå
ner på denna stig
då börjar hjärtat att slå
för jag vill hava dig
jag följer efter dig
ner på okänd mark
och hjärtat bultar i mig
för känslan är så stark
och när jag hinner ifatt
då vänder du dig om
och brister ut i skratt
sen är jakten igång
du springer fort som ett djur
genom buskar och snår
jag känner mig som en tjur
mitt hjärta bankar och slår
sen snubblar du på en gren
å gud så saliga lår
från himmlen lyser ett sken
och marken doftar av vår
från himmlen lyser ett sken
och marken doftar av vår

walking down the street walking with my feet
if you don't think that's true then I will prove to you
walking with my legs they're kinda like two pegs
and I will alternate them that's how I operate them
left then right we walk that way
when you wanna go the natural way
right then left we walk that way
a million legs are walking today
walking down the lane
come shine and come the rain
I'm not in a race
just a walking in my own sweet pace
walking in the park
before it gets too dark
then I'll walk on home
or maybe I'll just roam
left then right we walk that way
when you wanna go the natural way
right then left we walk that way
a million legs are walking today
I got my transportation
I'm feelin' free
I'm heading down the road of liberty
I'm traveling at a speed that's safe and sound
I've got my feet, one two, on solid ground
so many different ways
that people walk these days
some walking fast some slow
some don't know where to go
I don't need a car
'cause I'm not going far
I've got my own two feet
justa walkin' to the two-time beat - 1, 2, 1 ,2
left then right we walk that way
when you wanna go the natural way
right then left we walk that way
a million legs are walking today
you may think this song
is silly but you're wrong
'cause when you walk the street
you're gonna have to use your feet
left then right we walk that way
when you wanna go the natural way
right then left we walk that way
a million legs are walking today
a billion legs are walking today
a trillion legs are walking today
everybody's rockin' today... yeah yeah
left then right we walk that way
when you wanna go the natural way
right then left we walk that way
a million legs are walking today
Waves will reach the Shore © 1992, Victoria, Canada. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
the words I want to say
are buried in the ground
I bend my knees and pray
to childhood echo sounds
and in my dreams I hear
what I have heard before
I open up the years
the waves will reach the shore
but who is there to blame
and who began the lie
and who has lit the flame
of hearts that will no die
cause history will find
what we are looking for
a word so small so kind
the waves will reach the shore
the words I want to say
are buried in the past
the sky is dark and grey
the sun is overcast
in the summer rain
and as I hear it pour
I think of all my pain
the wave has reached my shore
What Is This Thing? © 1986, Playa Santiago, La Gomera. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
Is it good, is it bad?
It's driving me completely mad.
I don't know where I am
There's a feeling in my heart here again
Is it you, is it me?
Or is it something right in between?
I don't know what to do
I'm falling, falling, falling for you
What is this thing they talk about?
All I hear is this word they call love
And I know and I feel what I really do want
But I'm scared it will rip me apart
And I know and I feel what I really do want
But I'm scared it will rip me apart
Am I wise or a fool?
There doesn't seem to be any rule
I don't know what to feel
I'm wondering if this whole thing is real
Is it in, is it out?
I'm struggling with this feeling of doubt
I don't know what to say
Maybe I should just run away
Where is the Love? © 1985, Antiparos, Greece. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
where is the love
that everybody's dreaming of?
reaching with their eyes
a longing look, a lonely cry
where is love, where is love?
up, down and around
I have never ever found
the love that I need
can anyone give me a lead?
where is love, where is love?
is it somewhere far away?
is it right here every day?
is it hiding in your eyes?
or is it just a lie?
where is the song?
I'm waiting for my melody
what has gone wrong?
I need to feel in harmony
where is love, where is love?
is it shining in the sun?
is it simply having fun?
is it laughter in a child?
or is it something wild?
is it shining in your face?
is it something I can't chase?
is it waiting to be found?
or is it all around?
where is the love
that everybody's dreaming of?
what has gone wrong?
why is love taking so long?
where is love, where is love?
is it wandering in the stars?
is it blowing in the air?
is it waiting in your heart?
or is it everywhere?
is it in your tenderness?
in the beauty of your face
is it in your sweet caress?
or in some other place?
is it feelings in the air?
that we never dare to share?
when these feelings come our way
we choose to shy away
So where is the love?
Wind Birds © 1986, Alajero, La Gomera. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.

Wind of love rushing home
What a world we're in

I run through the land

I've awakened again
I've awakened again
I've awakened again
You Can © 2000, Uppsala country side. Lyrics and Music by Ulf Enhörning.
You can travel round the world a dozen times
You can write a song with one hundred rhymes
You can dance ‘neath the moon in an ocean of stars
You can sit very still and see the way things are
You can paint in oils on canvas of an open field
You can dream of a world where love is real
You can sit by the fire and look into the flame
You can feel that it’s true that we are all the same
You can climb up a mountain with a view of this whole wide world
You can what you say what you sing in a string of words
You can tell we’ve begun to learn each other’s name
You can know that it’s true that we are all the same
