Schau' in die Augen der Kinder

Look into the eyes of children
Now in the Christmas season
Look how they all still believe
The world would be without suffering

Look into the eyes of children
Think back to your youth
So once you
With joy and happiness

Soon life will teach them
That you can't have this or that
Things they then desire
No more Christ Child brings no more Santa Claus

Look into the eyes of children
And ready as a gift
What no one can take away from them
A happy childhood

Look how the children's eyes
Glow in candlelight
But as happy as yours
Many children will not be

Before they begin to live
Is the need already at her bedside
When will the world reflect
That the frost threatens the flowers even more

Look into the eyes of the children
Many tell us silently
That they still believe in the good
And soon no longer know why
