This is light                    .
Haven’t felt so good for a long time                .
The shades are lifted from the vision             .
And I simply feel alive         .

Thousands of little children inside of me      .
Sing songs of silliness and joy
And I feel rich, I’m strangely smiling  .
I think I am crazy, or am I dying .

This cry in the dark .
Sounds familiar to me.
That nothing will last.
Time’s running too fast

But for now
Love is everywhere
Love is everywhere
The smell and that open sense
My stomach’s empty
I just have no defense
And the endless attempts to fuse
Only to explode
Into the universe
of broken stones

That cry in the dark
Sounds familiar to me
That nothing will last
Time’s running too fast

That cry in the dark
is making me laugh
it doesn’t matter how much
its screaming and such
cause whatever is there
I take it and share
Let’s go for this ride
together side by side

Side by side…

Oh baby, take your hands
And run them over m
Fierce and strong
As if nothing was wrong
 Tender and romantic
As if nothing was frantic

And I’m not old enough
To sit around and think of the old times
And I’m not young enough
To just sit around and just
dream of you and me

I’m here to give it all to you
And to take it all from yo
I‘m here to struggle with you
against the rest of the world
We don’t see good examples anywhere
We’ll find our way through these hazy days
These hazy words, and these hazy nights

That cry in the dark
Sounds familiar to me
    That nothing will last
       Time’s running too fast
