dreams of foregone times

Licurici prin ploaie, 
Pacatele se scurg siroaie,
Racnesc copacii rugaciuni,
In inimi starnesc furtuni...

elevation

Sunt cer si pamant,
Despre Tine Doamne cant,
Zbor cu porumbei,
Ma lupt cu zmei!

harmony...

Timpul se saruta cu soarele,
Barcile imbratiseaza apele.
Eu nu-s zambetul ce se stinge la apus,
Nici sufletul ce se lasa distrus!

high hopes

Am sute de pacate,
Sunt ca o cumplita noapte,
Am prins si pasari in baloane,
Sa zbor spre tine Doamne!
