Schatten und Licht [English translation]

How far is it from you to me

From earlier to later, from there to here

How long until eternity

How close is the floor

And how far the sky

How much is still not enough

And what is much more than you need

How deep must the darkness be

Before you blindly trust

Do you see what I mean

It's all a question of sight

And it will never be different

Shadows today, light tomorrow

How close can you stand to the abyss

Without falling and without seeing

Tell me how near is totally close to you

How high is your courage

And how low is your trust

How heavy is the lightness

That almost outweighs us

Do you see what I mean

It's all a question of sight

And it will never be different

Shadows today, light tomorrow

How far is it from you to me

From earlier to later, from there to here

How long until eternity

How close is the floor

And how far the sky
