Ist das nichts?

You're young and you say there's nothing holding you back.
There's nothing worth it in your world.
And you say you really see no point in anything.
And then you throw it all away...

Ain't that something, that you search, that you doubt and ask?
Ain't that something, that you were sad and now you're laughing again?
Ain't that something, that you can say: 'I eat until I'm full.'
While somewhere someone has no grain of rice left.

Ain't that something, that you can help if you just want to?
Ain't that something, that you feel longing for something,
That you live where freedom is not just a word.
Ain't that something? Ain't that something? Ain't that really nothing?
Listen to me, don't you think it's finally time,
For a little gratitude?

You hide away and say you see no goal anywhere.
Look around the world, there's so much waiting for you.
There are people who would gladly trade places with you.
It also depends a lot on you.

Ain't that something, that you know where you'll sleep tonight?
Ain't that something, when I say: 'I've thought of you.'?
Ain't that something, when you sense that there's someone,
Whom you don't believe in but who still loves you?

Ain't that something, that sunbeam on your skin?
Ain't that something, that a person forgives and trusts you?
Yes, you live where freedom is not just a word.
Ain't that something? Ain't that something? Ain't that really nothing?
Listen to me, don't you think it's finally time,
For a little gratitude?

Listen to me, don't you think it's finally time,
For a little gratitude?
