Simple, not simple, then how is it now?
Seen or not seen, and what here is wrong?
Clear or not clear, or maybe it's so,
That what matters or not may be just a trifle.
Spilling our longing, warming our grief,
We spread our anger, feel no pity for others.
We see only ourselves in the light of love,
But this light is hidden somewhere within.
So much goes by without us,
No kindness in the flashes of eyes.
Pain, only pain, is feeding the fire,
The sharpness of words, the palm boils up.
Anger and apathy, the world is divided,
We're frightened out there and scared within,
Where we are - there are only tears and toil,
The wish to forget and fall asleep boils up.
But all the pain will boil over again,
Arrows of fire will destroy love,
Around there is emptiness, no enemies left,
Deafness of words, and the light of friends is gone.
Where there is pain, fear cripples us again,
Killing the living, testing love.
It cries from within - it hurts, I am here!
Outside - only roots of rage keep growing.
Let the word love flare up in colours again,
Filling the wounds, the cracks and the pain.
Let it reach the heart again, light a fire there,
Fill the space, my home, with itself.
Let the guardian angel embrace us again,
Let our inner voice echo - love,
Spreading in waves, it will fill us deep inside,
The light of joy will shine all around.
