Ich Hab Gelacht, Ich Hab Geweint

I can describe the world from both sides
Had to go through light and shadow and see
How illusions die, spoil
And sometimes asked about the meaning

The wind blew against me on many paths
I learned to fight, to succumb and to win
But what it really means to live life
I only know since I've been with you

I laughed, I cried
I stayed awake, I dreamed
But all of that only has value since you exist

I know happiness and danger
I was a hero, I was a fool
But what I want is only clear to me since you love me

I want to always stay with you, show you
That I live only for you, I give
You, what I am and what I have - and I don't ask
You about what tomorrow brings (fine)

Maybe our dream will fade, dissipate
But something in both of us will remain
The world looks different forever, forever
Because you have been close to me
