Was Zählt

Give me something to drink, I'm thirsty.
I came all the way alone and on foot.
Every single step, meter by meter.
From somewhere out there, far away from here.

I swam through the sea, lived off water and salt,
just to come here and finally see you.
I've been in every desert imaginable.
Was close to giving up, constantly moving on.

I often got lost, was blind for too long.
Everywhere and nowhere I searched for you.

And I walked for years only through rain.
Or were they tears? I don't know anymore today.

But if only love counts, if only love counts,
I'll walk the same path again for you.
If only love counts, if only love counts,
then no price is too high to see you.

Do you see the bag I carry with me?
There's my story and my whole life in it.

You can take it from me and burn it.
It's full of memories I no longer want.
Yesterday is worthless to me and tomorrow doesn't matter,
as long as you promise me that you can hold me.

If only love counts, if only love counts,
I'll walk the same path again for you.
If only love counts, if only love counts,
I want to follow you to the end of this world.

I'd like to believe what's in the Bible
and what they try to convince us of in every TV show:
That in the end, it doesn't matter
if you're the winner or the loser.

Because only love counts, because only love counts,
I would walk the same path again for you.
If only love counts, if only love counts,
I want to follow you to the end of this world.

No price is too high to see you.
