100 Stufen
Peter Schilling
100 Steps
100 steps are the way
Are the way to your happiness
100 times you'll understand
100 times there's no turning back
The loneliness of the hero
Will be your companion
On the path to your soul
Deep inside you
Many of your wounds
Seemed long since healed
But with every step
You see scars from another time
No moment is ever
Forgotten for you
No laughter, no tears
Are ever erased
Your soul is down to
The smallest element
A wonder that you recognize
For 100 steps long
No welcome without goodbye
No goodbye without new happiness
With all your senses, you walk
Back along your life's trail
Before the last step
You meet the little prince
You look into your own eyes
Before you take the last step
The end
A true hero doesn't show
Where their limits are
A true hero takes 100 steps
Into themselves and seeks
Their inner child
