Bonsai Dream
(Music & Lyrics by Simona Radu)
Close your eyes
It’s my lullaby
That I’ll sing to you tonight
They cut my branches to keep me small
I live in a tiny pot
And they peel my skin off to make me look old
Don’t they know that I am still a child?
Don’t they know that I hurt inside?
All I have is my bonsai dream
That I go to sleep with every night
They starve me cause they want me weak
My roots cannot go deep
I long for the ground, for feeling my mother’s heartbeat
I’m a prisoner, yet they call it art
They keep me chained, but in my heart…
I keep my bonsai dream
That I go to sleep with every single night
Someday I’ll be
What I was meant to be
A beautiful big tree, born to be free
Open your eyes
It’s YOUR lullaby
That I sang to you tonight

Not Like A Bee
(Music & Lyrics by Simona Radu)
I wrote a poem as a child
That I felt so damn good about
That I forgot it when I grew up
Until the truth came back to me
As if I woke up from a dream
God, I was such a clever child
So sing it with me and please go wild
I don’t wanna live like a bee
She works her whole life
And then she dies, like the others
Can’t you see, I wanna be free
I see the world as children do
It’s magic everywhere I look
My childish poem holds the truth
Come out of your protective shell
It’s time to say it to yourself
And all who told you otherwise
So don’t be scared to go wild
I don’t wanna live like a bee
She works her whole life
And then she dies, like the others
Can’t you see, I wanna be free
I don’t wanna live like a bee
She works her whole life
And then she dies, like the others
Can’t you see, I wanna be free
Be free, not like a bee
Be free, not like a bee
Be free, not like a bee
Free

Naked As We Come
(Music & Lyrics by Simona Radu)
Cry if you need to
I’m here to help
But I won’t follow you to
Your five star hell
Take back those diamonds
They can’t fill the void
What good is all your damn fortune
If it can’t buy you joy
And no, there’s nothing you can say
To keep me in your chains
We go naked as we come
And no, there’s nothing you can do
To keep me from the truth
We go naked as we come
Cry if you need to
Cause I’m still here to help
But I won’t keep on hiding
I wish you’d understand
It’s time to change the rules of
This old foolish game
Now I know what I was born for
It’s not glory or fame
And no, there’s nothing you can say
To keep me in your chains
We go naked as we come
And no, there’s nothing you can do
To keep me from the truth
We go naked as we come
What about moonlight in your eyes
What about love without a price
When was the last time you felt alive?
What about dreams that never die
What about tears in your smile
When was the last time you felt divine?
And no, there’s nothing you can say
To keep me in your chains
We go naked as we come
And no, there’s nothing you can do
To keep me from the truth
We go naked as we come
Cry if you need to
I’m here to help

Too Happy For A Rock Star
(Music & Lyrics by Simona Radu)
I’m not homeless
And I have a loving family
I’m quite healthy
And I’ve never lost someone tragically
I’m not ugly
And I can eat a lot without getting fat
My soulmate loves me
And he didn’t cheat on me with my best friend
So how am I supposed
To write the greatest rock song?
I’m tired of digging in the past
There is no memory I trust
Of course I’m special but I’m just
Too happy for a rock star
I wanna sing it from my heart
But there’s no story in the dark
Of course I’m special but I’m just
Too happy for a rock star
I’m not misunderstood
Got no addictions, no heavy blame to take
I lived a happy childhood
And I got straight A’s in school, for God’s sake
So what in the world am I supposed
To confess in the greatest rock song?
I’m tired of digging in the past
There is no memory I trust
Of course I’m special but I’m just
Too happy for a rock star
I wanna sing it from my heart
But there’s no story in the dark
Of course I’m special but I’m just
Too happy for a rock star
I prayed to Shiva, I prayed to God
Till they gave me the sign
It’s time to quit and just admit
I’m too freaking happy for a rock star
I’m tired of digging in the past
There is no memory that special
I’m special
I wanna sing it from my heart
But there’s no story that special
I’m special
Too happy for a rock star
Too happy for a rock star

Fairytale
(Music & Lyrics by Simona Radu)
“I’m at your feet, my love
Tell me what else you need
If nothing, I’ll be quiet
Not to disturb your dream
Cause you’re so special, love
Your dreams must all come true
I’ll put myself on hold
To give my all to you.”
And so I did... time went on as happiness passed me by
Until one night, when I opened my eyes and cried
What about my dreams?
Did you think they’d die?
You made sure they were underfed,
Weak and kicked to the ground
But they are still alive!
My time was only yours
My mind and my soul too
I was on life-support
Giving my blood to you
I’m sorry, love... it’s my fault, but I won’t do it no more
And if you didn’t hear me, I’ll scream it once more
What about my dreams?
Did you think they’d die?
You made sure they were underfed,
Weak and kicked to the ground
But they are still alive!
What about my dreams?
Did you think they’d die?
You made sure they were underfed,
Weak and kicked to the ground
But they are still alive!
You had a bright dream
That made mine look pale
I followed you blindly
Charmed by this fairytale
“It will be our dream!”
You said with love in your eyes
But your love was eating me alive!
What about my dreams?
Did you think they’d die?
You made sure they were underfed,
Weak and kicked to the ground
But they are still alive!
What about my dreams?
Did you think they’d die?
You made sure they were underfed,
Weak and kicked to the ground
But they are still alive!
What about my dreams?
Don’t you think it’s time
To give back my soul
And maybe lend yours
So they’ll come to light?!

Dog Lover
(Music & Lyrics by Simona Radu)
You say you love me but you just don’t know how to show me that
You’re such a nice guy, I like you a lot, so I’ll give you the key to success
Take your time to observe every move that my dog makes
I’m not joking, cause he found the way to love me like nobody else
Watch him jump, full of joy, every single time he sees me (he sees me)
How he gives me a hug, then a big kiss and makes me feel good instantly
How we play in the sun, or just take long walks in the park (walks in the park)
And how he sleeps at my feet, every night, protecting my life from the dark
So don’t you be ashamed to learn from the best
Look through his eyes to see what it means to adore me
Try win him with a bone and he’ll teach you the rest
My dog was here before you and he’ll always be... right next to me!
I love the way he can make me laugh everytime I’m sad (everytime I’m sad)
He doesn’t lie, drink, smoke, sleep around and, most of all, he’s never mad
Look how he watches me, taking in every word I say (every word I say)
And after that, he can barely wait to lick me all over my face
To lick me all over my face
So don’t you be ashamed to learn from the best
Look through his eyes to see what it means to adore me
Try win him with a bone and he’ll teach you the rest
My dog was here before you and he’ll always be... right next to me!
Now kiss me so he can see you
This is it, the final test
But if your love is not true
He will bite your phony ass
He will bite your phony ass!
So don’t you be ashamed to learn from the best
Look through his eyes to see what it means to adore me
Try win him with a bone and he’ll teach you the rest
My dog was here before you and he’ll know he won... right after you’re gone!
Right after you’re gone
Right after you’re gone
Right after you’re gone

Blood Stained
(Music & Lyrics by Simona Radu)
You’re too blinded to see me cry
There’s no time to stop
From your meaningless quest for gold
I can’t breathe, smoke is in the air
Fire’s everywhere, and you’re
Cutting my skin to the bone
Look at my face trying
To whisper I’m dying
Look at your hands, they’re blood stained
Do you even remember my name?
You took me for granted
Crushed me under your feet
Told me you’ve got a million others like me
Please wake up, just stop hurting me
Can’t you see I’m falling and
I’m taking you down with me
Look at my face trying
To whisper I’m dying
Look at your hands, they’re blood stained
Do you even remember my name?
I loved you, even now I still do
But how long do I have to wait until you…
Look at my face trying
To whisper you’re dying
My body is healed by rain
But you still can’t remember my name
It’s Earth
I gave you birth
My name is Earth
I gave you birth
It’s Earth
