Schritte [English translation]

Every day that I live

(Steps)

Every hurdle I take on

(Steps)

On the search for my Center

Successes, missteps, steps

And hopefully much more still,

Still much ahead

Still so many unwritten songs in our ears

If I’ve ever hurt you, forgive me please

All steps

Born in 1984

Small street, small town no one cares about

To a child’s eyes everything alright

Three sided courtyard, rarely anything happening

What a good lot

Never luxury but always bread

Driving a tractor on papa’s lap

And yet everything was not as rosy as I believed

Soon the first scratches

Parental home broken, marriage in the end

With mom and Jeanette, WBS 70*

Then the turn

A bit more colourful now

What does the world cost?

Every day that I live

(Steps)

Every hurdle I take on

(Steps)

On the search for my Center

Successes, missteps, steps

And hopefully much more still,

Still much ahead

Still so many unwritten songs in our ears

If I’ve ever hurt you, forgive me please

The first cigarette

The first time in love

Isn’t it ironic?

Hello music

Hey hey and so many said

This will never be anything

Pursue something more solid

I’ll tell you what’s solid,

This love

This love, these highs, these lows

This gang, this band, these fans, this family

Man, how lucky I am

I look back,

There’s more glitter than crap

I say so humbly

Thank you so much

Everything’s great so far

Every day that I live

(Steps)

Every hurdle I take on

(Steps)

On the search for my Center

Successes, missteps, steps

And hopefully much more still,

Still much ahead

Still so many unwritten songs in our ears

If I’ve ever hurt you, forgive me please
