You said it'll be alright and I'll get my wings back,
but it's been taking so long and my strength is fading.
Please look at me, I don't want you to forget me.
My soul burns, it will not rise again although it was born only for you.
I'll take my wings now, my wings, they're my wings.
I close my eyes and remember the sun. The sun as it shone.
Please look at me, we should have been together.
I brave the rain, bring the steps so I'm no longer afraid.
The clouds are storming over my head, how can I still fly?
What's the use of waiting for the breath now, for the last breath.
Please someone tell me how to survive!
Because it's my decision, my choice, to give up.
When the sun warms the wind and it blows around,
I breathe deeply, I breathe freely. I feel light and free.
I ask you to smile even if you remember me,
because I have them again, because they are mine, they’re mine.
Tage eilen in grauen Kleidern
an mir vorbei, doch ich
glaube zu schweben, eingehüllt
in einem Mantel aus Licht.
Ich habe noch viel vor
und halte die Uhren an,
doch das Leben läuft [ ... ]
Strahlend wärmt der Sonnenschein nach dürstend, finsterer Zeit.
Licht und Wärme streichelt alle Sinne, die wir haben.
Ein Märchen scheint erwacht zu sein, in einem bunten Kleid.
Des Lebens [ ... ]
Gevatter Tod, -unsichtbarer Geselle,
verbreitest bisweilen Angst und Schrecken,
stehst von Anbeginn schon vor der Tür,
gehst neben mir, trittst an des Lebens Stelle.
