Gib mir Mut [English translation]
Gib mir Mut [English translation]
Give me courage to see
Signs to understand, which appear
To shake hands with clenched fists
To confess at the end, what I desire to say
What plagues me, even if it's hard.
Because it's rooted deep, hurts me.
Although it's been a long time
To see that behind everything there's more than it shows
Even if the first note
Apparently difficult targetted
Has hit how hard
To stay free
Free to write
Since applause makes drunk
Gives me the strength that I need
What I just reveal in this song
Give me courage to change myself
And to remain me at the same time
Also to accept in bad times
Not to write anything
Rather letting go of the pencil to understand at the end
That it's no use to write texts
Which never reach the quality
To distinguish who says something and who does something
Who is a real friend at the end
And who only smiles friendly
What it's good for not to believe
That it's ridiculous
Not to confess that you give up because you are weaker
Give me courage to lose it if all else fails
People accompany you joyful
To dump you down tomorrow
Courage to put more faith in other hands
To be able to read last chapters of life to the very end
Give me courage when I get on stage
Standing in front of the audience and the crowd
That I really tell what I experience
And not other shit because fame is the reward
Give us courage that we in same steps
Beat nails with our heads
That we don't carry in front of our heads
The boards that mean the world
When the fire of excess goes around
Burns me from inside like my conscience when I take me for a fool
That I don't only seek values
Rather watch out for dignity
Be able to breathe untroubled
As soon as I need an escape
I shall swim upstream to reach the source
In a peaceful and good place
To enrich my heart
Spend energy and
Manage resources in equal measures
Switch to the backburner
As soon as I receive the timetable
Not only demand
Instead of asking politely
So that I say: "Ey give me courage so that I keep courage"
Give me courage..
