Alles Fliesst
Johannes Falk
Everything Flows
We're all stuck
in a house of cards
that's called life
and we look out the window
The past washes up
sunken treasures on the shore
And the future lies ahead of us
like an unknown leaf
in our hand
What have we already fought
complained and cried
Celebrated life, danced
and united happiness
But time is like a river
on whose banks one sits
And just watches
as one day after another
flows past us
flows past us
Everything spins
shapes differently
Only the timeless
always stands still
In us
The next moment
chokes the last seed
And tomorrow is only
a dream away
and will soon catch up with us
And while life
keeps on
keeps on turning
you live in me
and keep my house of cards
in balance
When everything flows
and everything wanders
everything spins
shapes differently
Only the timeless
always stands still
In us
