Her own choice
Sie lag bereits im Sterben, als ich die Nachricht erfuhr.
Ich versuchte mir vorzustellen wie es ist, dem Tod so nah zu sein. Bereitet es Scherzen und Reue oder gleicht es einer lang ersehnten Erlösung? Wer sind wir, die das Machtwort erheben, wer zum Leben und wer zum Tode verdammt ist? Wer sind wir, die versuchen aus unserem Geiste heraus zu entscheiden, wie ein anderer Mensch sich zu fühlen hat?
Es ist nicht unser Leben. Es wäre egoistisch, diese Entscheidung abnehmen zu wollen. Wenn wir einen Menschen wirklich lieben, so lassen wir Ihm das letzte Wort. Selbst wenn es um den Tod geht.
In stillem Gedenken an Cara.
She was painting in her gallery
a tired tear ran down her cheek
in the frame there was a dancing child
Smiling for a future, so delightful
But there’s a stranger in that frame, it’s how she used to be
She was scattering the seeds to grow
Ain‘t got a clue from where the wind will blow
But the garden yet turned out to be too dry to let them rise
Nothing there that could apologize
No who can you blame for who you are eventually
Falling along as you know something is wrong
But you can’t tell us now
Feelings have been washed away
You hide that key to that door
Still you aim for something more
But we won’t understand
Cause no one ever looked beyond
The life we know
The day you knew you lost your faith
The things you burned for lost their eager
The leaves turn brown
The autumn‘s there for you to get prepared
There’s no reason to be scared of
Oh what will be yet no one knows
On the other side
Falling along as you know something is wrong
But you can’t tell us now
Feelings have been locked away
You hide that key to that door
Still you aim for something more
But we won’t understand
Cause no one ever looked beyond
The life we know
Falling along as you know something is wrong
But you can’t tell us now
Feelings have been locked away
You hide that key to that door
Still you aim for something more
But we won’t understand
Cause no one ever looked beyond
The life we know
..and all the
Stars will shine bright
Once you’re going for your ride
Out of the window frame
Vanishing the pain you felt
Those years before
Still you know
That you aim for something more
And we won’t understand
Cause no one ever looked beyond
The life we know
