Ein paar Worte, ein paar Töne

At some point you say
A few words just a few words
Little Poetry
Who flees from your lips out of hope
Does it rhyme with happiness
Or does it rhyme with tears
Or is it a verse of a good, perfect world

At some point you will hear
A few notes just a few notes
That you carelessly hum
Which then arise in you from longing
Are they wild and loud
Or are they gentle and quiet
How a song is created
Almost nothing and yet so much

And then you sing them
A few words and a few sounds
And it gives you comfort
And then the others will listen to you
You don't sing the truth
But it is probably not a lie either
It's just a song
Almost nothing and yet so much

A few words and a few sounds

And what remains at the end
From the words and the sounds
That you soon forget
Like the belief in a better world
You stand there freezing
And you hope to come back soon
Some song that holds you tight

Laala laalalaa
A few words and a few sounds
Laala laalalaa
A few words and a few sounds
Laala laalalaa
A few words and a few sounds
Laala
