Du kannst dein Himmel sein [English translation]

There is always someone who is better at things

There is always something that tightens the bow further*

There is always so much more, and time is running out

And every word in your mouth will always be more important

Even if you are always on the run, you never make it truly far

You can't be larger than infinity

In outer space, you are nothing more than a small astronaut

Running on the orbit, because you don't dare to fly

You do this every day, you are one among a million others

And nothing will change this, the stars are an illusion

You have so much more to do, too much to get through

But only the one who is always burning, can be on top

Even when you can't anymore, you're still tense

Because just letting go of everything for a while frightens you

Your head is stuffed, you're running, but never arrive

That's why you aren't able to relax for just once

Where does this all lead to? What do you need for your own happiness?

If you don't know this anymore, you're burning out inside

You do this every day, you are one among a million others

And nothing will change this, the stars are an illusion

You do this every day and you don't know why

But nothing ever changes, so just let go

Stop

Just stop

You can be your...

You can be your heaven**

You can be your...

You can be your heaven

You can be your...

You can be your heaven

You can be your...

You can be your heaven

You can be your...

You can be your heaven

Do as your heart says

You can be your heaven

** The German word "Himmel" means both heaven and sky (note the definition of the English word 'sky' : 1.the region of the atmosphere and outer space seen from the earth, 2. (literary)
