I remember the day, I remember the lines
Passing by between now and what we call back in time
Six more months, six months gone, as predicted
Now that you have been through hell, what else can make your bones shakin‘
But you‘ll be alright,
at least, every once in a while,
when he’s gone, you live on
he lives on
Down in our hearts
where life takes place
Down in our hearts,
where lives are saved
Just lately we were watching his blanket
from the room next door where life was forced to go on
While he was home, still in the poorest condition
I’m sure that he felt our sincerest attention
And he‘ll be alright,
at least, for all of the time,
he lives on, even now
that he‘s gone
Down in our hearts
where life takes place
Down in our hearts,
where lives are saved
And he‘ll be alright,
at least, for all of the time,
he lives on, even now
that he‘s gone
Not gone from our hearts
though, we suffered a lot
but not quite as much
as he did
yes he did
we’ll keep him down in our hearts …
where life takes place
Down in our hearts,
where lives are saved
Down in our hearts
where life takes place
Down in our hearts,
where lives are saved

As I am strolling down the hill
Me and my nephew holding hands
Behind there lies the daycare center
Daily refuge, distracting friends
On a sunny afternoon like this
Man’s evil nature’s hardly missed
No picture book could capture better
What I would write you in a letter
---
Well, on my way down that steep hill
I keep myself from shedding tears
I tell myself we will get over this
Dark times will slowly disappear
I let him run, jumpin‘ for joy’s sake
Luckily kids can blank out shit
He knows there’s something goin‘ on here
What it is, seems hard to get
------------------------- is this the world we’re living in? if so, should I give in?
Soon he will have to lose his father
Though he will not be gone at all
That boy will learn to say “farewell, dad“
And to pick up when heaven calls
The soft wind‘s blowing through the tree tops
we stroll along the park meadow
And from somewhere in far distance
The ice cream van bell starts a song
---------------------------is this the world we’re living in ? if so, should I give in?
I say, my dear, we should get going
If you’re up for one or two
Scoops of your favorite ice cream flavor
„Chocolate!“, he answers straight and strong
Some short time later there we are, in
line with those young and hungry eyes
all future worries seem forgotten
when chocolate moments do arrive
----------------------------is this the world we’re living in? if so, I won’t give in!
now let us pray for those sweet moments
let us pray for the time we have
well these sweet moments keep us going
from here to there to what’s beyond
this story has no perfect ending
this story’s not perfect at all
but there’s a turning point as always
lighting up the path we’re on

From What We Know

What more can a poor man take?
Can you take more because you’re rich?
It’s about enough now, I would say
Things dissuade me from gettin‘ away
My sister lost her only love
To somebody way above
from what we know
You must admit, a tiny little bit of us right here could be anywhere
cause anytime, you might be mine, you might be gone, or in a song
Now he’s in heaven or on mars
He could pick the planet of his choice
Another milestone has been reached
Let’s take a rest before we leave
New air for us to breathe in deep-
-ly, as deep as we want life to be
When it’s all done, and you’re done, too
You say: well, to have helped somebody through
The darkest shadow of the moon
After all, looks good on you
and here comes David, their proud son
That little boy’s now on the run
On his new lego autobahn
Soon he might write your favorite song
And might ask you to play along
To his brandnew exclusive song
Now to that song you do belong

This year’s about to pass by
And I’m at the table, all alone.
Pretty beautiful things have been revealed
Awards conferred
Under the pourin‘ rays of heavenly sunshine
There it stood
Solid as stone, gracious as flowers
Tranquil as peace
To us it meant uniqueness
As if orchestrated
That moment of bliss
But did we learn from it, no
So much fighting over one picture missed
The pictures that we save, we are - The pictures to be saved we are - The pictures that we save, we are
You outta let me be me
As well as I let you be
The one you’re strivin‘ for
Difference is not mean
It holds some fertile seeds
For us to put into soil
There’s a lot of truth
In the word contentment
Subjectively shaped
I wish you find contentment
In the contents
You create
CHORUS
