Going Alone
The years pass by
A sea of time, flown by
I hold some small regrets
I don't ask for help, no compassion
There were ups and downs
I could keep knocking myself through all of them
And each time, the final chapter
I must go alone
Remorse? Yes, I have remorse
For all that's faulty, what went wrong
Sometimes I've hurt someone
But that was never my intention
My friends, stay with me
As long as possible, keep going with me
But each time, the final chapter
I must go alone
I received so many presents from life
More than my share, of that I'm sure
I have a goal, for that I reach
If it gets tough, still I go on
Then I feel good
And if I must
Shall I go alone
The love was generous
I gladly gave my heart away
I must have a thousand times
What I gave, gotten back
You stayed in love and suffering
Sometimes day and night
Standing by my side everytime
But now, this final chapter
I must go alone
But I go on, brave and rightup
Head held high, ready for the summit
This will be the longest journey for me
But at the end, there awaits the price
It's time, come on
That long way
I must go alone

Hope makes life
The first cry, a baby is born
A mother who moans, and cries and laughs
He is so small, her child, the life begins
The baby grows so fast, he is so handsome
Look mama look, his first step
He looks with big eyes at everyone
Who stands around him
There shines hope, hope for living
In the eyes of every child
Without hope you cannot live
But you also don't stand alone
There are friends and family standing around you
He becomes the new drummer of the band
This boy bursting with talent
He dreams of a star that shines at the firmament
He knows what he wants and he works so intensely
Let him do, he'll get there
But he wants so much and he lives so very fast
And he sings:
I set hope, hope in life
I want to go do so much
Without hope I don't want to live
But I also don't stand alone
I have my friends and family around me
On a morning the world stands still
His fingers feel cold and chilly
He curses and cries and prays: they stay chilly
He knows what waits for him
This becomes a Way of the Cross that never passes
And the sun that will slowly go under
He looks at me and says:
Hope, hope makes life
I go on as long as I can
Without hope I don't want to live
But don't leave me alone now
I want friends and family around me
He has fought for his life
Like a lion he gave everything, the last hope
I hear children playing in the street
So carefree and full of mischief
They are the young life that goes further
The new hope!
