Was hält mich noch hier? [English translation]

Slowly my life runs

like sand through my hands

My ambition seems all in vain

lost in eternity

But only because I laid

my dream too often in strange hands

but I can hardly change it

because now it's too late

What still keeps me here,

in this place of darkness?

Only the light that lets

your love shine to me in eternity

My destiny that is directed by others

vaporizes, and slowly onwards

it runs to the ground without stopping,

to sink there

Only a goal that I have achieved

justifies everything that has happened,

the love that compares to nothing

helps me to exist here.
