SIXTEEN

You've been a juvenile
With a dophin smile
With no elbow room
With your body in bloom
You've had your little backyard
Protected by big walls
You didn't dare look over
'Cause you've been too small

Now you're finally sixteen
And you feelin' old
But they won't believe
That you got a soul
'Cause you're only sixteen
And you're feeling real
But you can't seem to cop a feel

Why do they have to force us
Through this metamorphose
Little butterfly
No matter how you try
You'll be segregated
You're gonna be closed off
You're callow and you're green
'Cause you're caught between

You're only sixteen
Try to cross the line
But your little wings are intertwined
You're only sixteen
And you're such a tease
And there's nothing you do
That can really please

"These children
They're not really bad most of them
They're just products
Of rotten neighborhoods
And bad family situations"

You know you can't forsake it
So sit back and take it
You see you're just not ripe
So don't try and fight that

You're only sixteen
You wanna catch a peek
But they look at you
Like you're such a freak
Well you're only sixteen
With a lot to say
But they won't give you
The time of day

You're only sixteen!
You're only sixteen!
You're just sixteen!!
You poor little thing.

Don‘t speak

Don’t speak, you only lie

Only a few weeks and you went away

No message, you didn’t say goodbye

The days, I waited for you were endless days

Say why? You knew I need you

Please explain, but don’t lie

Endless days I waited for you

A long time passed by, before I could say go away

Some boys are egoistic and don’t even say goodbye

Simone, Tanja, Nele

My own world

my song tells you a story of

you and me

our life is hard

we’re dreaming and dreaming on

no one can stop us

we’re living the way we want

our life is a dream, but what should we do?

reality makes sad. i don’t want to be sad

i want to be happy! And i know we’re

doing the right thing!

Simone, Tanja, Nele

Yesterday

yesterday we were so happy

everything seemed to be right

suddenly something goes wrong

today your eyes see through me

everyday you laugh about me

really, i think you hate me

dreams about you

all the time i think of you

yesterday we were so happy

Simone, Tanja, Nele

The Voyage

She was sitting

Behind the open door

And the sun

Shone into her face so bright

And while she was closing her eyes

Her little wings began to grow

She flew away

Her land slowly disappeared from view

Soon it was getting so dark and cloudy

She just couldn't see

She flew through fire

And cried in the rain

But she always kept on flying

There were times she looked up to the stars

And heard them saying

"You've got to find the future in you"

And one day the darkness disappeared

the sun shone warm and bright in her face

She loved the smell of freedom in the air

Happiness was all around her

She flew over large fields

With many coloured flowers

One time she heard

A butterfly whispering to her

"There are so many rainbows to climb"

She looked up to Heaven and murmured

"I want to live my life here!"

And her eyes sparkled like the stars

Ulrike

FIFTEEN

It isn’t funny

to show your courage

in your gang

and when you don’t do it

you will be out of it

than you will be bullied

you aren’t allowed

to make a mistake
