I am enlightened
She's standing next to me with her bag
As if something unfolds
Something that hasn't been there before
And then I think, no, I know
Even if it is still insignificant:
It's carved in stone
I need not be somewhere else.
She's watching the clouds for quite a while
And then she looks at me
As if she's seeing something new
As if something appears to her
And then she laughs, then she beams
Nobody here is free
I just can't understand
How she can just be herself
Open your eyes for me
Don't ignore your happiness
There's never something in the stars
That a man doesn't understand properly
As if every bit of explanation
Just renders it too difficult
But you feel it and you see it
And you know it's the truth
And you just stop understanding
That you've never lacked something
Open your eyes for me
Don't ignore your happiness
Open your eyes for me
Don't ignore your happiness
Nothing special
Quite simple
It happens all the time
Still a thunderbolt
Out of the blue
For it is happening to me today
Open your eyes for me
Don't ignore your happiness
Open your eyes for me
Don't ignore your happiness
Open your eyes for me
Don't ignore your happiness
Open your eyes for me
Don't ignore your happiness
