On my shoulders I carry Your world,
I am holding your hand,
Through the night I lead until day.
Before you fly out of my hands like a blue bird,
Sit here comfortably - I have some advice:
Run ahead of yourself, run away
Before time catches You.
Surely go ahead of yourself
Before fatigue makes itself apparent.
The world does not stop for anyone,
It will betray you not just once.
Run ahead of yourself, hold your direction
With the wind or against the wind.
You can't cheat time,
Day after day.
And one day for you will come
The choice between "to be" and "to have"
Before you want to uncover
This world on your own
Sit and listen - I have some advice
Run ahead of yourself, run away
Before time catches You.
Surely go ahead of yourself
Before fatigue makes itself apparent.
The world does not stop for anyone,
It will betray you not just once.
Run ahead of yourself, hold your direction
With the wind or against the wind. (x2)
