Mittendrin [English translation]

Maybe the things I see today

Are forgotten by tomorrow

Maybe I will see today

What nobody will see by tomorrow anymore

Maybe those who

I trust today

Will have betrayed me by tomorrow

Maybe I will misjudge today

What gives me hope tomorrow

When the time has come

Then please tell me

But today is just today

Here and now is my time

Tomorrow is still far away

I'm right in the middle

Not just part of it

Maybe those who

Who count on peace

Will have bloody hands by tomorrow

Maybe what is a lie by tomorrow

Is true today

Maybe the word which

Conciliates us today

Will lead us to our doom by tomorrow

Maybe them and us are

United in the next hour

Don't you understand it

I live for today

The light shows me the way

Here and now is my time

A small eternity

I'm right in the middle, not just part of it

Maybe the greed of this world

Has long since consumed us

Maybe you have already

Forgotten me by tomorrow
