Elefant

You taught me to dream without sleeping
Not to be afraid of the dark
Riding a bike without hands
Even though I thought I couldn't
You showed me that life isn't black and white
That it's not just right or wrong
And that I'm not alone
From you, I know what love is

With you, I sat in my cave
Built from blankets
With the elephant book
And a glass of cocoa

And if this world becomes too big for me
And everything overwhelms me
Life is a complete idiot
Then I think of it again
And when I wonder why
And everything overwhelms me
I dream of sitting on your lap
With the blue elephant

From you, I have the courage to question this world
And to speak my mind
On rainy days
I build a paper ship
Through you, I learned to believe in tomorrow
To trust myself
Not to run away out of fear
From you, I know what love is

You sat with me in my cave
Built from blankets
With the elephant book
And a glass of cocoa

And if this world becomes too big for me
And everything overwhelms me
Life is a complete idiot
Then I think of it again
And when I wonder why
And everything overwhelms me
I dream of sitting on your lap
With the blue elephant
