Der Mensch Lebt Von Der Erde

Man lives from the earth
She carries in her lap
The grain and a thousand fruits
But the hunger is great

Then all people ask
Give us this day our daily bread
(Give us this day our daily bread)

But there are continents
There man eats no bread
He satisfies hunger differently
And is he in need there

Then all people ask
Give us this day our daily rice
(Give us this day our daily rice)

For what is bread to one
Is other corn and rice
And where gazelles jump
Bare and hot in the bushland

Then all people ask
Give us this day our daily meat
(Give us this day our daily meat)

Man lives from the earth
However, it is not the same
Here she is poor and meager
There it is lush and rich

There all people ask
Give us this day our daily meal
(Give us this day our daily meal)
