Ich bin dein Freund

When you cry and no one
breaks your wall of silence,
that you build out of fears -
call for me, maybe then
love has my face;
and it may be,
that you soon trust him.

I'm here when everything is silent,
I'm here where no one shows up,
from afar…
My hand holds you -
Morning and evening and night,
someone is there, watching
and calling out, calling out, calling out:
I'm your friend!

When autumn gives the answer
to the silence of summer,
and longing slowly takes hold -
oh call for me, I'll show you
an autumn wind that loves you
and also a leaf,
that doesn't fall from the tree.

I'm here when everything is silent,
I'm here where no one shows up,
from afar…
My hand holds you -
Morning and evening and night,
someone is there, watching
and calling out, calling out, calling out:
Do you still not know,
you have a friend,
in a world as cold as the one,
that is rich, but not like you,
that often mentions your name -
but doesn't know you…

I'm here when everything is silent,
I'm here where no one shows up,
from afar…
My hand holds you -
Morning and evening and night,
someone is there, watching
and calling out, calling out, calling out:
I'm your friend!
I'm your friend!
I'm your friend!
