LET ME WORK
Let me work my hands to the bone,
I can do anything. I will do anything.
If you`ll just let me.
I`ll make squares from circles,
windows from doors,
mine from yours,
I`ll do anything.
I`ll flood the room with my juice,
In a day I`ll spend two.
I`ll burn my house, build one for you,
I`ll take 3 lies and make 1 truth.
I`ll make the impossibble average,
I`ll make a sick thought regenerate
with these two hands of mine.
Just let me work.

SOFTEST TUNE
It`s been a while
Since I`ve seen your face
Since you`ve been around
Since I`ve been this way
The noons are high
And the wind blows strong
When I notice how
You are missing long
Oh me, oh my
Oh me, oh my
It`s been a while
Since I`ve seen your face
Since you`ve been around
Since I`ve been this way
And I see the sky
From the earth down low
And it suits me so
And I wanna go
Wherever you take it
Wherever we make it
Wherever, wherever, wherever
It`s been some time
Since I heard my name
In a gentle tune
In a gentle way
And I`ll be my own
My own softest tune
And when I sing for me
I`ll sing from you
Wherever, wherever
Wherever, wherever
Wherever, wherever

FROM HOME
Sleepless nights
Burning slow
Never thought
I would go
From home, from home
See my eyes
Rolling back
See me count
Every step
Of the way, the way
Flying high
Learn to walk
Only sing
Barely talk
I`m home, I`m home
Where do you go, my love?
Where do you find the truth?
No one can take that path
only you.
See the road
Once again
Shiny lights
Call a friend
There`s no home, no home
No home, no home
Wondering on
Falling off
NOTHING IS
EVER WRONG
Your soul, your home
Your own, your home
YOU`RE HOME.

LET`S SAIL / JUST FINE
Let`s sail that boat, sailor
I feel a good wind coming,
they say stormy weather,
I say jump the waves, honey
Then dive deep, honey,
While there, fight the sharks, honey,
Let`s sail that boat, captain
I know we`ll get there
Let`s sail that raft, partner
See where the water takes her
Carry no weight, no burden
Leave all behind
Stand still through waves and thunder
Filled with pure joy and wonder
In such a marvelous action
This quest for life
Let`s sail that boat, sailor
I feel a good wind coming,
Let`s sail that boat, captain
I know we`ll get there
Let`s build a cabin out there
no fence, no guards out there
with tigers in the backyard
we`ll feel so safe
Let`s rule our own jungle,
become mother and father,
let children raise us,
we`ll be just fine.

A LOT
There wasn`t a lot of you
But you were a lot
There wasn`t a lot of you
But you were a lot
And don`t try to tell me
it isn`t worth saying
There wasn`t a lot of you
But you were a lot
There wasn`t a lot of you
But you were a lot
You tought me with your life,
changed me with your strife
The room was too small for you
The skin was too tight
The room was too small for you
The skin was too tight
You`d say it with one word
talked only the truth
There wasn`t enough of you
But you were enough
There`ll never be one like you
but it is alright
The layers you gave me
can never be washed off
I said the layers you gave me
can never be washed off
I choose to remember you
You chose it how
I remember loving you
you showed me how
The smell of your armpits told me we were made from the same clay
The shadow of these days will turn into a beautiful day
And golden are feelings that give now my eyes colour gray
There`ll never be one like you
but it is alright…
There`ll never be one like you
`cause you were a lot…

Never Fixed Nobody

NEVER FIXED NOBODY
I never, never fixed nobody
That`s why there`s no way I`m fixing you
I never, never loved nobody
So why do I think I love you
I never, never fixed nobody
That`s why there`s no way I`m fixing you
I never, never loved nobody
So why do I think I`m loving you
Never have words gotten me somewhere,
and I spoke plenty of times
Soft words, harsh ones,
did not see a ripple in your waters.
Sentences I made of silk,
still not my picture on your altars.
I never, never fixed nobody
That`s why there`s no way I`m fixing you
I never, never loved nobody
So why do I think I`m loving you
Never have smiles gotten me anywhere,
and I smiled my whole life through
Smiled when angry, smiled when sad,
in occasions not so grand,
and what do I have from it all?
I never, never fixed nobody

NEW SONG
I don`t need my phone when I`m with you
I can leave my home to find that you`ve
left your home too
Let me set the record straight today
I have never felt amazed this way
How do you do?
If you see me walking down the stairs
Please believe me I ain`t going nowhere
I will search the backyard and the ground floor
In the morning find me at your front door
I don`t see myself the way you see me
That`s why I enjoy your company
Will you teach me?
If you see me climbing up on the roof
Don`t you worry, I am coming down soon
With blue moonlight in my pockets and my hair
Just to be sure all our stars are still there

GRPWN GIRL
In silent admiration
for the wildest of creation
I just stood there
Sight to see, smoke in colours
raging fire, passing hours
I still stood there
I`m a grown girl, still, momma,
cut my long hair short
cradle me in your arms
where it`s safe and warm
I`ve left my hair and skin in your room
Placed your books around my bed
I still read them
Sang to your tune, gave you rhythm
Melodies and words with them
I still hum them
I`m a grown girl, still papa
Take me by the hand
Offer me protection
Promise till the end
And the wind says is all
How it feels through my hair
And I fear letting go
For when I meet you there
Will you say that you`ve seen
Every scar, every thought
And amidst of it all
I hear your voice:
If you fear letting go
then you`ll fear giving in
And everything that you seek
you must first find within
Love for free, from afar
Love the distance to cross
Love ahead, love in time
so the one you love knows.

ON A WEDNESDAY
Come and see me on a Wednesday
Don`t go waiting for no Friday
I`ll be busy all weekend
Till Monday, and that`s no fun day
Tell your momma if she`s asking
That you saw me on a Wednesday
Everybody`s got their business
But they`re thinking `bout elses
And it`s these days I`m wishing
That we focus on our mission
Tell your momma if she`s asking
How you found yours on a Wednesday
In a country of closed borders
People watching over their shoulders
Life as we know is non existant
No tv face can seem to fix it
Go ask your momma if she`s watching
Why people cry on news Everyday
In the city ideals are long gone
You work your days off, your time is doggone
Someone`s cheering when you`re crumbling
Keep in mind it`s their own dumpling
Go ask your momma if she`s listening
HOW TO LOVE MORE ON A BAD DAY
So don`t be listening to loud voices
How they`re preaching their choices
Your choice is yours truly
Ain`t nobody to walk you through it
It`s your purpose to live it fully
And you can start on, on a Wednesday

Somewhere Else

SOMEWHERE ELSE
The world moves so fast
I go slow, yeah real slow
And you move so fast
I`ll stay here, I`d rather stay here
Cause when the world moves so fast
I lose my sense of taste
and I cannot see clear
the things I hold so dear
There`s no better you
It`s my vision that needs repairing
It`s my mind that needs releasing
from the patterns I once learnt
This life moves so fast
My heart be still, please be still
The world is so vast
I`ll stay here, I`d rather stay here
Cause when the world moves so fast
I lose my sense of taste
and I cannot see clear
the things I hold so dear
There`s no better you
It`s my vision that needs repairing
It`s my mind that needs releasing
from the patterns I once learnt
So show me how gentle it is
when you hold me
Don`t let me take my bags
somewhere else
So show me how golden it is
When you know me
And I`ll let you take my heart
Somewhere else

BLACK PORSCHE
Hit me black Porsche
I wanna die quickly
I wanna die classy
I wanna die fast
Couse if I don`t
I`ll have to go through this
Even if I don`t want this
It`s my turn
Hit me black Porsche
run over this body
silent these voices
this troubled mind
Cause if you don`t
I might go into hiding
and if they ask me
I`ll say that I tried
Cause I don`t want pain to school me
I imagined life not to be hard
Now don`t you try to fool me
I`m a fool, but don`t wanna be a clown
Hit me black Porsche
I wanna go quickly
I wanna go classy
I wanna go fast
Cause it`s the road
that`s given me plenty
She knows me the longest
And treats me the best
Hit me black Porsche
run over this body
crush all of my fences
run over my pride
So I can breathe
Outside of these boxes
So I can say that
I truly tried
Cause I don`t want fear to school me
By imagining things that aren`t true
And the hardest thing could be easy
If I just let you be you.

BIRDIE
Where are your wings, dear Birdie,
You`ve cut them yourself now, right?
That`s what we all do
Look at our scars too
That don`t make you an exception
What is so special about you
Is written all over your hands
And if you don`t see it
If you don`t trust it
Have some faith in the process
And fly, fly, fly little Birdie
Tomorrow`s dawn waits for you
It`s been a rough night
Haven`t we all cried
But it`s take off time, so hurry
Don`t wait for storms, my Birdie
You`ve got the fire inside
No wind can take you
Where your eyes send you
Have some faith and fly
They found your wings, dear Birdie,
It wasn`t a nice surprise
They tried to lift them,
gathered around them
they wanted to reach your heights
No one could measure to fit them
No one could take the load
They cut them to pieces,
threw `em behind them
and cursed the day you were born
So fly, fly, fly little Birdie
Tomorrow`s dawn waits for you
It`s been a rough night
Haven`t we all cried
But it`s take off time, so hurry
Don`t wait for storms, my Birdie
You`ve got the fire inside
No wind can take you
Where your eyes send you
Have some faith and fly

WHAT A DAY
What a day for me to know
What a day, what I`m here for
What a day
Yesterday ain`t here no more
Yesterday, how long ago
What a day for me to know
what I`m here for
Suddenly I saw it all
Suddenly I climbed the wall
Yesterday, how long ago
Tomorrow`s gone
What a day to find it all
`though I climbed, I cannot fall
What a thrill to finally show
What a thrill, what I`m made of
Now I know
That after night the sun will show
Colourful, your face will glow
Powerful, for you will know
all your worth
You, diamond You, all you`re worth
Like the sea that finds its shore
Realised I`ve been here before
What a thrill to finally show
What a thrill, what I`m made of
Now I know

Mary May Zagreb, Croatia
There was a little girl who loved to sing... But that is not how this story goes!
I had no idea
that I would be making music and playing with a band, but life reveals it`s mysteries in the most uncommon way. So, no, I didn`t find music, music found me instead. The same way as I don`t write songs, they just come out the way they are. I am their... radio, if you will!
Thank you for your support.
