Ist das nichts?

You are young and you say there is nothing that holds you back
There's nothing worth doing in your world
And you say you really don't see any meaning in anything
And then you throw everything away

Isn't that something that you are seeking, that you are doubting and asking
Isn't it something that you were sad and are laughing again
Isn't that something that you can say I'm eating my fill
While somewhere someone has no more grains of rice

Isn't that something you can help if you just want to
Isn't it something that you feel longing for something
That you live where freedom is not just a word
Is that nothing is that nothing is that really nothing
Listen to me, don't you think it's finally time
For a little gratitude

You hide and say you can't see a goal anywhere
Look around the world, there is so much waiting for you
There are people who would like to swap places with you
A lot depends on you too

Isn't that something that you know where you're sleeping tonight
Isn't it something if I say I was thinking of you
Isn't that something if you suspect that there is someone
Someone you don't believe in but still loves you

Isn't that nothing this sunbeam on your skin
Isn't that something that a person forgives and trusts you
Yes, you live where freedom is not just a word
Is that nothing is that nothing is that really nothing
Listen to me, don't you think it's finally time
For a little gratitude

Listen to me, don't you think it's finally time
For a little gratitude
