| When the world was woken
|
| Save all unknowing eyes
|
| And thoughts that once were spoken
|
| Left only to despise
|
| And when the dawn is breaking
|
| Look upward to the sky
|
| If life is so hard to live
|
| Why not die?
|
| When the world has woken
|
| And shadows leave the air
|
| Then each spell will be broken
|
| For everyone who cares
|
| The day will then be endless
|
| The night will soon pass by If life is so hard to live
|
| Why not die?
|
| When the world has woken
|
| For all who see the sun
|
| And gentle words are spoken
|
| The dawning has begun
|
| Then man can live together
|
| With one triumphant cry
|
| If life is so hard to live
|
| Why not die? |
