Einer Dieser Steine

Weathered and marked by life
Bitter and surrounded by temptations
Like behind bars, always the same
Each of my steps has caused problems
Sunk at night in a disgusting way
Almost drowned in a lake full of crap
No one took me, I lacked maturity
But some stones just need to be polished
You came by, had your compass with you
You saw that this one stone is special
You took it with you and didn't sink it in the sea
You gave it a big warm place in your heart

Do you still remember the place where I waited for you
Side by side with the other stones, I lay there
I was cold, without a home and alone
Before you came, I was just one of these stones
I was so dusty before you found me
You set me in motion, finally gave me new momentum
I was cold, petrified, and alone
Before you came, I was just one of these stones
Without a home and alone
Just one of these stones
Do you still remember the place where I waited for you

You build me up, lie down next to me
I can talk about everything with you
Or just gesture without words
Back then, I probably wouldn't have understood that
You led me to new paths
I felt life for the first time
I know that not everyone experiences such happiness
I won't leave anymore, I'm only here because of you
You came by, had your compass with you
You saw that this one stone is special
You took it with you and didn't sink it in the sea
You gave it a big warm place in your heart

Do you still remember the place where I waited for you
Side by side with the other stones, I lay there
I was cold, without a home and alone
Before you came, I was just one of these stones
I was so dusty before you found me
You set me in motion, finally gave me new momentum
I was cold, petrified, and alone
Before you came, I was just one of these stones
I was just covered in dust, grayed, and without a plan
Before you came, took me with you
No one needs to save me anymore
You've already done that by coming
Taking me with you

Do you still remember the place where I waited for you
Side by side with the other stones, I lay there
I was cold, without a home and alone
Before you came, I was just one of these stones
I was so dusty before you found me
You set me in motion, finally gave me new momentum
I was cold, petrified, and alone
Before you came, I was just one of these stones
Without a home and alone
Just one of these stones
