Marieke songs

Someone       ©  Marieke de Groot
 
When you lose your love
your hope or your health.
You’re feeling down
and nothing will help.
When you bear your grief
in lonely sighing.
Shedding your tears
in silent crying.
Someone will come
help you through the night.
And you will feel
like a sunflower turning
towards the light.
Like a sunflower
towards the light.
 
When your dreams are gone
like leaves in the wind.
Just as the plans
you hopefully made.
When you try to be strong
when things go wrong.
You better sit down
And ask for some help.
Someone will come
And gives you a hand.
And you will hear
the birds in the trees
will sing again.
The birds  will sing again.

When you only wait
counting the hours.
Your burden weighs
like lead on your shoulders.
When you bear your pain
and hope for relief,
but it doesn’t seem
it comes to an end.
Someone will come
and help you to bear.
And you will see
the blossoms will flourish
in spring again.
the blossoms will
flourish again.
            –
So when your dreams are gone
and you’re hope is done.
Try open up your heart again.
There will be a hopeful light.
An angel in the night.
So don’t give up
in barren times.
You will stand up
in better times.
After a long winter cold
the flowers will unfold.
A new spring will begin.
A new spring will begin.
A new spring will begin.

Daylight, sunlight,
so early in morn.
The birds are singing,
but I’m still sleeping
at the new dawn,
dreaming that you
are still around.
 
In my dreams,
you come through the door.
We walk and talk
just like before.
I still feel your love
when I open my eyes
and a little dove
is sitting nearby.
 
Be well, be well my dear.
I’ll watch over you
and will be near.
And in your dreams,
 you will see me.
I will be here.

A Robin came to me
in the morn.
His eyes are twinkling
in the new dawn.
He sings and whistles
special for me.
So pure and clear
in the crystal air.
I see his breast trembling,
so near to me.
It fills me with joy
and love it will be.
 
He shows me that life
is great and worth living.
Even when things
are threatening me.

He makes my day brighter,
the sun will shine lighter,
the flowers unfolding,
enlightens my soul.

I find my self wondering
in this new morning,
the enchanted nature,
the wonder of creatures
and life as a whole.
And life as a whole.
 
So joy fills my heart
when a little red Robin
is just singing
in my backyard.
