Seeing The World With My Eyes

Ina Stöcker from Bergisch Gladbach, Germany

Holger & Adrian Ehmann from Leichlingen, Germany



Hello!

We are Ina Stöcker, 38 years, living in Bergisch Gladbach/Germany and Holger Ehmann, 45 years with his son Adrian Ehmann,13 years, both living in Leichlingen/Germany.

It was great to create an own song for this Tribute-contest, of course inspired by the music of Chris de Burgh - we had a lot of fun together, and of course also a lot of work, but we enjoyed it.

The lyrics and the voice of the song are Ina's part, Holger did all musical arrangements.Adrian did our recording and gave his best with all his technical knowledge. He is very interested in music and very talented in playing Keyboard etc. Adrian is autism and the best friend of Ina's son, who is autism, too - so our families got friends during the last years. So by this way a special and big thank you to Adrian, without his help we couldn't have recorded this song!

We all tried to give our song it's soul and we hope you will like it as we enjoyed all the work with this special project!

Often we were touched how Chris de Burgh describes emotions in his songs, especially when he sings from an other ones view, es example like in the song "Once upon a time". So we decided to create a song from the sight of the view of someone who often gets to his/her personal borders and shows a part of his emotions, shares this emotions with us. It is also a lovesong and a song full of live, proud to be part of this wonderful world.

All the best from
Ina, Holger and Adrian

Lyrics:

I'm able to hear all the words that you say
but often I don't understand the sense of this words
I feel it's too much for me sorting all out
There's silence in me - no hurts

You want to feel me - laying in your arms
So near beside you - don't you feel how it hurts?
There are so many things you show me with your face/
There are so many things you can show with your face
Unable to read this voiceless words

Seeing this wonderful world with my eyes
Is not seeing the same things as you do
All this little moments you will never realize
These moments show my world is also true

I know sometimes you don't understand me
I feel so unbalanced and try you to show
What do you see deep inside my soul
Do you really understand my world?

You want to feel me - laying in your arms
so near beside you - don't you feel how it hurts?
There are so many things you show me with your face/
There are so many things you can show with your face
Unable to read this voiceless words

Seeing this wonderful world with my eyes
is not seeing the same things as you do
all this little moments you will never realize
these moments show my world is also true.

Never stop loving me and touching my soul
Feeling your love - it helps me out
Please take my hand to be in your world
I need your energy - you teach me to live
Even you can not see I need all you give
It's hard to show my emotions - but you see
I'm part of your world - that's what I want to be
Thank your for sharing your world - your life - with me.
