Het Zwin

​

Ik wou dat ik m’n vleugels spreiden kon

Dan zou ik rechtstreeks vliegen naar de zon

Om neer te strijken in een tropische land

Waar zonneschijn mijn hart en ziel verwarmt

 

Ik wou dat ik m’n vleugels uit kon slaan

En zweven kon boven de oceaan

Want ik droom van een wereld van azuur

Als het mij hier te koud wordt en te guur

 

Boven de wolken

Is de hemel altijd blauw

Boven de wolken

Lijkt de toekomst minder grauw

​

Boven de wolken - Will Tura

Darkness- RikBe

Darkness, Darkness

Be my pillow

Take my head

And let me sleep

In the coolness of your shadow

In the silence of your deep

 

Darkness, Darkness

Hide my yearning

For the things I cannot see

Keep my mind from constant turning

To the things I cannot be

 

Darkness, Darkness

Be my blanket

Cover me with this endless night

Take away, oh, this pain of knowing

Fill this emptiness with light

Emptiness with light, now

 

Darkness, Darkness

Long and lonesome

Is the day that brings me here

I have felt the edge of sadness

I have known the depths of fear

 

Darkness, Darkness

Be my blanket

Cover me with the endless night

Take away, oh, this pain of knowing

Fill this emptiness with light, now

Emptiness with light, now

Petrolstation - RikBe

Petrol Station - Sorcha Richardson

 

We stayed up late to watch a movie, April fools, I think a Tuesday
Spring had just arrived and so our clothes were hanging loosely
We stepped outside,
to the old petrol station, out of nowhere started raining,
kinda suited the occasion
Reminded me of when we spent our whole summer vacation
Two thousand eleven,
sleeping in my basement
Looking back I think that we just spent those 2 weeks wasted,
Some side of love we tasted
'u find your love you chase (it)

If I never told you
(That I) That I wanna hold you
(That I) That I wanna hold you
I just wish it was (If I) old news
If I never told you
(That I) That I wanna hold you
(That I) That I wanna hold you
I just wish it was old news (By now)

Gewoon Wachten - RikBe

Wachten op liefde
Wachten op iets
Het komt alleen als je niet wacht.

Wacht niet op iemand
Wacht niet langer op iets
Dan zal ze komen… onverwachts.

Het is een zin uit een boek
En het klinkt allemaal mooi
Maar waarom loopt het meestal fout

Is de warmte weer zoek
Is de kamer plots koud
Zo wordt ik nog niet-wachtend oud

 

Wachten - Pieter Embrechts

THE BOOK OF WISDOM - THE RETURN

​

Dear People of Tomorrow,

What if the stories of our lives weren’t so unpredictable after all? What if all of the stories ever told were bound together by threads, what if they were all held together between the pages of one book? What if the stories we live and the old, old stories we tell weren’t that different after all?

The Book of Wisdom will be your key to the unique realms of Tomorrowland and will guide you on your quest through this astonishing place.

Palermo - RikBe

Down my love and held nowhere

He will come and meet me there

Oh he'll wait for me

Beneath the sorrow tree

 

Ooh Beneath the sorrow tree

Ooh Beneath the sorrow tree

 

Tell my love I'm waiting there

Oh, and he'll know where

My love will mourn for me

Beneath the sorrow tree

 

Ooh Beneath the sorrow tree

For the Climate London April 2019 - RikBe

We need to wake up
We need to wise up
We need to open our eyes
And do it now now now
We need to build a better future
And we need to start right now

We’re on a planet
That has a problem
We’ve got to solve it, get involved
And do it now now now
We need to build a better future
And we need to start right now

 

(Sing for the climate)

Sint Carolus Borromeus

When everything goes wrong and it seems all hope is gone
I remember how my Savior died, He died there on the cross
So, this world would not be lost, Jesus died for me long ago

​

Jesus died for me long ago on a hillside far away
He was tortured and slain, God bless His Holy name
Jesus died for me long ago

​

What pain He suffered there, the holy one, so dear
So that you and I could live, I'll try to repay
For His sufferin' on that day, Jesus died for me long ago

​

Jesus died for me long ago on a hillside far away
He was tortured and slain, God bless His Holy name
Jesus died for me long ago

​

As He hung there all alone, His life's blood almost gone
He never stopped prayin' for me, so I'll follow all the way
And live with Him someday, Jesus died for me long ago

Brouwerij De Koninck Antwerpen

The piano has been drinking, my necktie is asleep
And the combo went back to new york, the jukebox has to take a leak
And the carpet needs a haircut, and the spotlight looks like a prison break
And the telephone's out of cigarettes, and the balcony is on the make
And the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking

​

And the menus are all freezing, and the light man's blind in one eye
And he can't see out of the other
And the piano-tuner's got a hearing aid, and he showed up with his mother
And the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking
As the bouncer is a sumo wrestler cream-puff Casper milktoast
And the owner is a mental midget with the i.q. of a fence post
Cause the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking

Roger Waters Us and Them - RikBe

"Be The Rain"   Neil Young
 

Save the planet for another day
"attention shoppers, buy with

a conscience and save"
Save the planet for another day
"save alaska! let the caribou stay"
Don't care what the governments say
"they're all bought and paid for anyway"
Save the planet for another day
"hey big oil, what do you say?"

We were runnin' through the night
Never knowin' if we would see the light
Paranoid schizophrenic visions
Livin' in fear of the wrong decisions

We got to wake up
We got to keep goin'
If they follow us
There's no way of knowin'

We got a job to do
We got to 
Save mother earth

Be the ocean when it meets the sky
"you can make a difference, if you really try"
Be the magic in the northern lights
"six days....six nights"
Be the river as it rolls along
"it has three eyed fish and it's smellin' strong"
Be the rain you remember fallin'
"be the rain, be the rain"

Yeah rain was fallin' and we're soakin' wet
Hail is beatin' down on our heads
The wind is blowin' through our hair 
Faces frozen in the frigid air

We got to get there
Alaska
We got to be there 
Before the big machines

Turn to stone - ELO

​

The city streets are empty now
(The lights don't shine no more)
And so the songs are way down low

A sound that flows into my mind
(The echoes of the daylight)
Of everything that is alive
(In my blue world)

​

I turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
I turn to stone, when you comin' home
I can't go on

Kasteel Wissekerke Bazel

I'm headed straight for the castle
They wanna make me their queen
And there's an old man sitting on the throne 
That's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean
I'm headed straight for the castle
They’ve got the kingdom locked up
And there's an old man sitting on the throne 
That's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut
Straight for the castle

Prison Breda - RikBe

Prisoner - The Weeknd

​

Maybe I’ve been always destined to end up in this place
I don't mean to come off selfish, but I want it all
Love will always be a lesson, let's get out of its way
Cause I know, all I know, all I know

I’m a prisoner to my addiction
I’m addicted to a life that’s so empty and so cold
I’m a prisoner to my decisions
Woooo, woooo, woooo
I’m a prisoner to my addiction
I’m addicted to a life that’s so empty and so cold
I’m a prisoner to my decisions
Woooo, woooo, woooo

Berlin Wall - RikBe

Tear down the Walls - Hillsong United

 

Tear down the walls see the world 
Is there something we have missed
Turn from ourselves, look beyond 
There's so much more than this

​

And I don't need to see it to believe it
I don't need to see it to believe it
'Cause I can't shake 
This fire burning deep inside my heart

​

Look to the skies, hope arise 
See His majesty revealed
More than this life there is love 
There is hope and this is real

​

And I don't need to see it to believe it
I don't need to see it to believe it
'Cause I can't shake 
This fire burning deep inside my heart

​

This life is Yours and hope is rising 
As Your glory floods our hearts
Let love tear down these walls 
That all creation would 
Come back to You
It's all for You
Your name is glorious, glorious 
Your love is changing us, calling us
To worship in spirit and in truth 
As all creation returns to You

Sing a rainbow

Sing along with me

Horses in my dreams - PJ Harvey

 

Horses in my dreams
Like waves, like the sea
They pull out of here
They pull, they are free

​

Rode a horse round the world
Along the tracks of a train
Broke the record, found the gold
Set myself free again

Surfing - RikBe

Surfin' USA - The Beach Boys

 

SurIf everybody had an ocean
Across the U. S. A.
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like Californi-a
You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies
Huarachi sandals too
A bushy bushy blonde hairdo
Surfin' U. S. A.

Isle of ISlley - Donovan

 

How high the gulls fly

O'er Ilay

How sad the farm lad Deep in play

Felt like a grain on your sand

 

How well the sheep's bell

Music makes

Roving the cliff When fancy takes

Felt like a tide left me here

 

How blessed the forest

With birdsong

How neat the cut peat Laid so long

Felt like a seed on your land

Verbeeke Foundation

Lovely Rita, meter maid
Nothing can come between us
When it gets dark I tow your heart away

Standing by a parking meter
When I caught a glimpse of Rita
Filling in a ticket in her little white book
In a cap she looked much older
And the bag across her shoulder
Made her look a little like a military man

Winter walk - RikBe

Kijk eens naar omhoog en kijk de lucht is grijs en zit vol vlokken 
'k Wou dat dit kon blijven duren, dat het nooit meer zou stoppen 
'k Voel me zo gelukkig in de eerste sneeuw
'k Voel me zo gelukkig in de eerste sneeuw 

Waar is m'n wollen muts nu, waar is m'n dikke sjaal
Waar is m'n wollen muts nu, waar is m'n dikke sjaal
En ergens in de kelder ligt toch nog die slee
Papa moet me duwen door de eerste sneeuw

I stopped to fill my car up
The car felt good that day
I didn't know where I was going
But it felt good for a change
A five and a pocket full of silver
I paid the lady no change
And then it started to piss down
I started driving again

Lennon Wall Praag - RikBe

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

​

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Deutsche Kriegsgräberstatte Lommel

Now I'm standing on the grave of a soldier that died in 1799
And the day he died it was a birthday
And I noticed it was mine
And my head didn't know just who I was
And I went spinning back in time
And I am high upon the altar
High upon the altar, high
