Never Give Up
Dan Agnew
Living small dreams
Doesn’t get you far
When you’re swimming
Up the stream.
Don’t build your sandy castles
Or houses made of straw
Build on rock
On love supreme.
Life is a beautiful song
God teaches us to play.
And you’ll learn it, you’ll learn it
Some day.
Never give up, never give up
The game.
Never give up, never give up
The game.
Love is worth the struggle
When you’re lonely on your knees
When you’re falling
At your face.
There’s always strenght in weakness
The cross was for your sake
Love is a free
Gift of grace.
Life is a beautiful song
God teaches us to play.
And you’ll learn it, you’ll learn it
Some day.
Never give up, never give up
The game.
Never give up, never give up
The game.
Loving Man, Superman
Dan Agnew
Always late
I’m your fate.
Always wrong
Bad to the bone.
Missing dates
Breaking plates.
Loosing money
Looking funny.
I speak when I should be silent
And I’m dumb when I should speak.
I’m ready to lose my temper
Children think I’m just a freak.
I’m a loving man.
I’m a superman.
Well…
Playing harp
In the dark.
Laughing loud
In the crowd.
I go upside down
on a merry-go-round
All I do is wrong
My road is dead-end long.
Well I tried so hard
But I always lose.
And I love you darling,
But I’m such a fool!
I’m a loving man.
I’m a superman.
Well…
Easy for you, hard for me
Dan Agnew
For your joy you drink some glasses
You make water into wine.
Speak, my preacher, give me classes
Hard-knock lectures before I die.
Turn your amp a little louder
Drown my narrow boastful voice.
Guitar screams and headache powder
Crystallize your feedback noise.
Easy for you, hard for me
Easy for me, hard for you.
Far away my sweetest angel
Is my dream, my goal to set.
Speak to me a little tender
My wrecked ship is all I have.
Give me comfort for my heart-ache.
I’ll grow flowers on your words.
Sing you songs out of my nature
In broken voice that never boasts.
Easy for you, hard for me
Easy for me, hard for you.
What Is Human
Dan Agnew
Tell me now what is human.
Tell me now what it´s like.
Tell me now what is human.
Tell me now.
Tell me now what is to steal.
Tell me now what is to give.
Tell me now what is real,
Tell me now.
Get a seed, let it grow when you plant it.
From a stream river flows, and I cry,
And I cry, what is human.
Tell me now what is painful.
What it’s like, crucified?
Tears of pain, far from the temple,
When you died.
Tell me now who’s your neighbour.
Tell me now, why they fight.
Tell me now what is human,
Tell me now.
Get a seed, let it grow when you plant it.
From a stream river flows, and I cry,
And I cry, what is human.
Tell me now, what is to hate.
Tell me now what it´s like.
Tell me now what is real love.
Tell me now.
Tell me now what is human.
Tell me now what it´s like.
Tell me now what is human.
Tell me now.
When I feel so low and I cry
Then I need to know that your eyes
Look at me and are human.
Grey Exile
Dan Agnew
Worries sprout like mushrooms
in my grey exile.
You’ve kept track of every toss and turn
through the sleepless nights.
Each tear ends in your sea
and I’m desperate for a change.
In the realm of mystery
I lean onto your grace.
Put a fresh wind in my sails
My Lord, take my side!
Don’t throw me out with the trash
set the world a-right!
In my grey, in my grey, in my grey exile!
In your grace, in your grace, in your grace I cry!
You’re not the secret to be kept
in my gray exile.
I can’t explain your puzzling ways
in the bush on fire.
Morning sun or moon at night
desert or the sea
You remain a mystery
mystery for me.
In my grey, in my grey, in my grey exile!
In your grace, in your grace, in your grace I cry!
Run
Dan Agnew
We try to operate on
a single principle.
The goal is superficial
the end is critical.
You try to look beyond
peep through the hole.
Escape your memories
enter your soul.
Run and run, and run for freedom!
Run and run and run for life!
Time to be brave!
Get on your way!
Illusions that we’re keeping
the worthless dreams of ours.
Emptiness soon is creeping
why don’t we leave for now?
We run the race with shadows
gorge in the bowl of dust,
can’t see the angel’s feathers
coming down from the sky.
Run and run, and run for freedom!
Run and run and run for life!
Time to be brave!
Get on your way!
I wanna get out
Dan Agnew
I wanna get out
I wanna get out of this stupid place.
I wanna go home,
Have a good time with my babe.
I wanna leave this dull and musty room,
With all these stupid gits around.
I wanna be with my lovely lady,
Don’t wanna stay here overnight.
I want to stay here any longer
Let me home, lets say goodbye.
I wanna smell the air of freedom
Let me go I’ll be alright.
I wanna get out
I wanna get out of this stupid place.
I wanna go home,
Have a good time with my babe.
I’d rather have a quarell with my woman
and her sweet hug in the night.
Don’t want to listen to these lousy talks
And sit here in the line.
I want to stay here any longer
Let me home, lets say goodbye.
I wanna smell the air of freedom
Let me go I’ll be alright.
Mayday
Dan Agnew
All my nightmares
In my life
You can find there
Deep inside.
Lost in my black ocean
Lost my crown
Of dear horrid emotion
Now heading down.
Falling on the wings of time
Into the dizzy dusty grime.
I’m lost in my own selfish maze
Constructed by my own dismay.
I cry out mayday!
I cry out mayday!
Save me from my hell
I built around myself!
Mayday!
I built myself a trap,
Fortress round my back.
Blinded by the lights
of superficial sights.
All my futile thoughts
And my stillborn hopes.
Led me in my own arrest
I can never find the rest.
Falling on the wings of time
Into the dizzy dusty grime.
I’m lost in my own selfish maze
Constructed by my own dismay.
I cry out mayday!
I cry out mayday!
Save me from my hell
I built around myself!
Mayday!
Where I go
Dan Agnew
I can see the rowan
Nice in autumn day.
I can see the snowman
melting in the rain, winter rain.
I’m lost in struggle inside me
And hoping to be found.
I wasted all my energy,
My mind is crying loud, my mind is crying loud.
Down, where I go,
Down here so alone.
With you on my side
Life’s worth the strive.
Heart in broken pieces
I dream about your smile.
My hand that empty reaches
To seize you for a while, for a while.
Shattered windows of my heart
And fragments of my song.
Friends that say „you’ll be alright“
Dark and light – then gone, dark and light – then gone.
Down, where I go,
Down here so alone.
With you on my side
Life’s worth the strive.
Fighting over trifles
Smoke in cloudy sky.
Empty words and hollow smiles
Born about to die, about to die.
We just turn around
In world that’s upside down.
Let’s fly, let’s have the guts
The only way is up, the only way is up.
Up, where I go,
I’m not alone.
With you on my side
Life’s worth the strive.
Words Kill
Dan Agnew
The trap you set might
Catch you later
Don’t play your trick-and-treat!
I try to speak to you but
You won’t listen,
You’re running at high speed.
Each and every word you
Say will haunt you,
You speak so carelesly.
I’ts your heart not the dictionary
That really counts on me.
Words kill, words kill
Illusions blind your eyes.
Words kill, words kill,
We pay the highest price.
In the ocean of lies you’ll be drowning
Late – you realize.
Poisoneous evil words will kill your loved ones
Let’s stop it here and now!
The trap you set might
Catch you later
Don’t play your trick-and-treat.
I try to speak to you but
You won’t listen,
You’re running at high speed.
Words kill, words kill
illusions blind your eyes.
Words kill, words kill,
We pay the highest price.
