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
