- I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there, I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is... Believe
- I never wanted to know
Never wanted to see
I wasted my time
Till time wasted me
I never wanted to go
I always wanted to stay
'Cause the persons I am
Are the parts that I play
So I plot and I plan
And I hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night
Filled with unfinished dreams
And I'm holding on tight
To a world gone astray
As they charge me for years
I can't pay
- Are you the one that God had made for me
Are you the one who's always in my dreams
The one who keeps me goin'
When I can't go on
The one that I've been waiting for
For so long
- Are you the one that God had made for me
Are you the one who's mine eternally
The one who keeps me dreamin'
When I'm sad and tired
Who gives my life a meaning
Till the day I'll die
- Scorpions, 'Are you the one', Pure INSTINC (1996)
- I saw you laugh, I saw you cry
All for one and one for all

What a glorious night
To me it could have lasted forever
But it's time to go
- A moment in a million years
Is all I've got for you
A moment in a million years
To make some dreams come true
A moment that I won't forget
Until the day I die
A moment in a million years
Called life
- Scorpions, 'A moment in a million years', Eye II Eye (1999)
- A moment of glory called evolution
Could I see the world with the eyes of a child
A new beginning, a moment of freedom
Like angels are singing a song full of joy
- This side of heaven
Belongs to the children
I will be there, when the future arrives
- A moment of glory called evolution
Could I fly away like a bird in the sky
No limitation, a new inspiration
A world that is free just as free as my mind
- Communication
A new destination
The planet of visions is calling tonight

I'm just a passenger
And the ride has just begun

- The wise man said just walk this way
To the dawn of the light
The wind will blow into your face
As the years pass you by
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The passage out of the dark
- The wise man said just find your place
In the eye of the storm
Seek the roses along the way
Just beware of the thorns
- The wise man said just raise your hand
And reach out for the spell
Find the door to the promised land
Just believe in yourself
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The way out of the dark
- Scorpions, 'Send me an angel', Crazy World (1990)
- The world is closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future's in the air

On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change

Blows straight into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell
For peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say
- Scorpions, 'Wind of Change', Crazy World (1990)
- If we'd go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall, so strong That I can't get through
Is there really no chance
To start once again
I'm loving you
- Scorpions, 'Still loving you', Love At First Sting (1984)
- I'm chained to the fears
Inside these walls
The silence talks loud
'bout the things I recall
Through the bricks in the window
I scream at the world
But when no one is listening
It's hard to be heard
- Woman you can change my world
Woman there'll be no return
(Do you remember all those fears?)
They won't leave me alone
(Do you remember all those tears?)
I pretend to be strong
(Do you remember all the pain?)
I'm getting tired of the game
I cannot live I cannot die
I wanna know who the hell am I
- You've never seen me
But I know you so well
And before it kills me
I gotta break the spell
The deeper we touch
The higher we'll go
The time has come
