In Meinem Leben

In my life
I have often flown
I have fallen deep
And sometimes drowned
I have won
And I have lost
And I have died
And been reborn
I have given
And I have taken
We have found each other
We have come so far
I am close to myself
And always a stranger
It's like being alone
And no one knows me

I don't want to be poor
And money doesn't make me rich
Sometimes life is hard
And most of the time I find it easy
I have cried
And I have laughed
And finally figured out
What makes me more beautiful
I have drunk
And I have smoked
And I have completely exhausted my strength
And when I get back on my feet
It's always life again
It's always the sun again

And here you are
Holding my hand and laughing
Because you know me better than I do
I'm in love with you
I don't want to imagine my life
Without you

In my life
I have often flown
I have also lied
And betrayed you and me
I have loved
And was drunk with it
I flew up to heaven
And sank very low
I let myself down
And then get back up
I live so healthy
And I also take drugs
I count the years
And I don't count them
I stand in the dark
And I like the light

And here you are
Holding my hand and laughing
Because you know me better than I do
I'm in love with you
I don't want to imagine my life
Without you

I love some people
And some love me
And those who don't love me
I don't miss them
I love my children
And I love you
And sometimes I feel nothing at all
Then I don't even feel myself
I wish for peace
And serenity
A heart that is always warm
I'm not there yet

Freedom is good for me
I sometimes hurt myself
I feel strong
Even if I'm not standing straight
My fear of dying
Turns into air
Slowly dissolves
Because life is calling me

And here you are
Holding my hand and laughing
Because you know me better than I do
I'm in love with you
I don't want to imagine my life
Without you
With you I want to continue and I follow you
And you always take from me too
I'm in love with this life
And I'll stay here a little longer
With you
I'll stay here a little longer
With you
