Somehow the ordinairy daily life knows how to touch UB Boy in the heart. While shopping for his bread, butter and Dutch cheese he recognizes the streets again he has been crossing every day. For so many years he only saw the inside of his skull. That gives confidence & hope..!
Once in a while
Once in a while I'd like to know the way I am. I'd like to show a face that's mine leaving no doubts about the years it spent to grow that smile, that then will glow the very warmth of the flame I kept alive. Once in a while I'd like to know the way I am. And talk and talk all day long about things of no importance. But to me they are the crumbled feelings I refused to eat in wintertime of life. Now, that time still runs I'm glad to know that I'm still there. That I can go a way I want leading without any roundabouts right to that place I once belonged and where I'll find my goal that’s still alive. Now, that time still runs I want to show the way I am. And walk and walk all day long through streets I crossed so often. But to me these are important streets that give to me some bread, to simply stay alive.
