Tausend Jahre sind ein Tag

Do you know how many stars are out there
And where the rivers flow?
Tell me, why does the rain fall,
Where's the end of this world?

What was here a thousand years ago?
Why can wheels roll?
Are clouds faster than the wind?
So many questions a child has...

Oh kid, come on, stop asking,
You're still too young for that,
You're not ready for it yet.
You've got time...

Chorus
What is time? - What is time? - What is time?
A moment
A clock strike
A thousand years is just a day!

How does a person become insatiable,
Whoever has it all gets a discount,
And where did the greed for money come from?
How does hunger come into the world?

Why does someone get suspected,
Just because they think too much?
Are you still free if you don't take risks,
Yeah, what a young person asks...

Hey, young folks, what's up with that?
And first, do something worthwhile!
You'll get wise someday too.
Time will bring that...

Chorus
Na, na, na - Na, na, na - (etc.)

Is this world still allowed?
The earth is soon stripped bare,
The water's dead, the land's bare,
The sky's sealed tight...

The pretty lie of goodwill,
The nice game of overkill,
And when will you sharpen the weapons?
If I may ask that too...

Damn right, that's how it will be,
And who will ever forgive us?
I beg you, ask while you can,
You are the time...

Chorus
Na, na, na - Na, na, na - (etc.)
