Shortly before the sun (Kurz vor der Sonne, Juli)



You see the day, see the hours,
that flow next to you.
And one day you close your eyes,
it seems that nothing touches you anymore.
All that was worth so much to you
lies now on the ground, is destroyed.
You want now just to go out of here,
there's nothing left which holds you back.

And you run through,
through atmosphere, space and time.
You stumble over the stars and planets
and happiness is no longer far away.

But shortly before the sun
doubts overtake you,
keep it short and look back,
your world is tiny.
Shortly before the sun
the darkness comes back,
and you realize that out here
everyone is very lonely.

Then you have almost reached the sun
and you are pulled out of your orbit
in the direction of Earth,
the only place where one can change.
All that was so much worth to you
wasn't really what you care.
Not all what we are looking for
lies where one can understand our pain.

And you run through,
through atmosphere, space and time.
You stumble over the stars and planets
and happiness is no longer far away.

But shortly before the sun
doubts overtake you,
keep it short and look back,
your world is tiny.
Shortly before the sun
the darkness comes back,
and you realize that out here
everyone is very lonely.
