Out of my shell (Music: H. Treichel, Klaus Bader/Lyrics: H. Treichel, 2015)
1. I close my eyes and dream about the day
Free to sing and dance like a bird
Coming alive and never alone
What will happen, no one can tell.
2. I better go back into my shell.
And wonder when I am going to break out.
I’m trapped inside, I can’t understand
And wonder where my wonderland lies.
Dry my tears and open my eyes
The shell is cracking the answer is here!
I really broke my shell!
And I am going to break free.
I really broke my shell.
And be the one I wanted to be.
Solo
I really broke my shell!
And I am going to break free.
I really broke my shell.
And be the one I wanted to be.
I really broke my shell!
I really broke my shell!
I really broke my shell!
I really broke my shell!
I really broke my shell!

Flowerfields (Music: H. Treichel, Klaus Bader/Lyrics: A. Dieck, H. Treichel, 2016)
This is how I do
Maybe it’s just you
My mind is going hazy
Drop the beat and dance with it
Move your body and rock with it
I never thought this would come back
These thoughts of you not over
Working so hard to run
From the one I want to love me
Who was here all the time
This is how I do
Maybe it’s just you
My mind is going lazy
Drop the beat and dance with it
Move your body and rock with it
I never thought you would come back
searched the world all over
Working so hard to find
The one I want to love me
Who was here all the time
Drop the beat and dance with it
Move your body and rock with it
I never thought you would come back
searched the world all over
Working so hard to find
The one I want to love me
Who was here all the time

City Lights (Music, Text: H. Treichel, Klaus Bader, 2015)
1. A bright display of city lights, as far as I can see
Like stars they light the sky, their flashing is for me
For longing hearts to lose themselves, they tell us where to go
Straight ahead into the town, I want to feel the show
2. Lights that say „forget her name “, lights promise other things
A place to hide behind those lights, let’s go on raven wings
It's a long road and the stars above, maybe God made this lights
To paint a picture of the world, I am so grateful for this night.

Golden Years (Music: H. Treichel, Klaus Bader/Lyrics: A. Dieck, 2015)
I love all the times you held me in your arms
the ones when we knew all of our dreams would come true.
I see the light shining in your eyes
Before you turn around
There's not a single day that passes
without you on my mind
you on my mind
Oooh, ooh
I wish that you were here
Oooh, ooh
I wish that you were here
Oooh, ooh
I wish that you were here
Oooh, ooh
I wish...
Minutes, hours, days and Years pass
and your silence the wall that holds me way
A full life lived with one regret
I long for the times you held me in your arms
The ones when the love was deep and true
I see the light shining in your eyes
Before you turn around
There's not a single day that passes
without you on my mind
you on my mind

Ghost in the machine (Music/Lyrics: H. Treichel 2014)
1. My eyes like fire, fragments of a dream
I am machine, just made to look like any man
I am the foreign body, are we all just dreams?
But you and I are born to decay.
2. Love the question, not the answer, the dreaming is
Hearts beating cold, are you made of stardust too?
Hope glitters, sparkles, brings laughter too
And you and I will rise to the bleu.
Ghost in the machine
Standing behind me.
It was you who made me see
How did you know it frightened me?
You melt my heart, not turned away
My ice-cold soul has come to life today
3. The times we spent together seem so far away
I am the foreign body, and don’t know what to say
I am machine, just made to look like any other man
Reaching from memories, will do what I can.
4. All pieces fit the puzzle, all shadow-plays subside
Too busy dreaming, there’s no more need to hide
All those illusions break my mind
I am machine, and born to be left behind
Ghost in the machine
Standing behind me.
It was you who made me see
How did you know it frightened me?
You melt my heart, not turned away
My ice-cold soul has come to life today
Solo
5. My eyes like fire, fragments of a dream
I am machine, just made to look like any other man

6. Love the question, not the answer, the dreaming is
Hearts beating cold, are you made of stardust too?
Hope glitters, sparkles, brings laughter too
And you and I will rise to the bleu.
Ghost in the machine
Standing behind me.
It was you who made me see
How did you know it frightened me?
You melt my heart, not turned away
My ice-cold soul has come to life today
Ghost in the machine
Standing behind me.
Ghost in the machine
Standing behind me.

Michigan (Music: H. Treichel, K. Bader; Lyrics: H. Treichel 2014)
1. If you're out by the lake, and the stars seem close
And they twinkle, twinkle bright, bright above the shore
The pubs, the bands and so much more, the trees and all the streams
The thunderstorms and sun-drenched lake, it’s my boyhood’s dream.
Ref.: When night is falling on the lake
Love is in the air
Night birds calling, I’m awake
I wish I just could stay.
The home of every memory, of everything once new.
A land so full of mystery, an undiscovered find
Michigan, be well, fare well.
Detroit, South Bend, Holland, Lakeshore.
The home of every memory
Of everything once new.
A land so full of mystery,
An undiscovered find.
Dearborn, Monroe, Battle Creek
Solo
2. The little towns where someone’s dad owns every shop and store;
And every face you see you know you’re welcome at their door.
I feel the calling of the land, an undiscovered find
You disappear into the words in my grown-up mind.
Michigan, be well, fare well.
Detroit, South Bend, Holland, Lakeshore.
When night is falling
On the lake
Love is in the air
Night birds calling
I’m awake
I wish I just could stay.
Dearborn, Monroe, Battle Creek

You’re about to feel.

Sad Story (Music: H. Treichel, Klaus Bader/Lyrics: A. Dieck, H. Treichel, 2015)
You could have it all
Or you can turn away
I'll be honest with you,
It's hard when you feel like you never win
I'm here for you
If you promise to be here for me
Love, I know what I'm asking
And if our love is true
Then this sad story can have a happy ending, too.
Now I know I love you, how I long to hold you, how much you mean to me,
Hard to believe you were mine
Now tears are falling from my eyes
I know, it’s hard to believe that you were mine.
We are the stars amongst the stars!
Suddenly, destiny
Finally, you and me
Finally, you and me
A treasure I hold in my arms
A life with you at my side.

Where are we going (Music: H. Treichel, Klaus Bader/Lyrics: A. Dieck, H. Treichel, K. Bader, 2016)
I’m not gonna run to you tonight
I’m just gonna make my way to the city lights
Where I can lose myself in the night life
Where am I going
Where are you going
Where are we going
Where are we going
I’ll run, I’ll fight, I’ll find my way
I’ll search the dark
Give my heart away
Where am I going
Where are you going
Where are we going oooooohhhhhhh
Instrumental break
I’ll sit and learn and find my way
I’ll search the night
and bloom in the light of day
Where am I going
Where are you going
Where are we going ooohhh
Where are we going
Instrumental break
I’ll lay in way and find my way
I’ll search the night
give my heart away
Where am I going
Where are you going
Where are we going ooohhh
Instrumental end
