| There is no destiny, he said, crossed the road,
|
| and got hit by a car, driven by an elderly lady,
|
| lost in thoughts, leaving the funeral of her
|
| beloved husband.
|
| Moved by a courageous, fond life, taken
|
| away by his braveness, his intelligence,
|
| and all the good he’d done, she forgot all about
|
| his fading, all about the trouble and all about
|
| his human weaknesses. |
| She forgot about the
|
| changes during his return in 1945.
|
| Tears in her eyes she reached the crossroad.
|
| Lost, I was lost, but now I’m found
|
| Raised from the ground of my burnt soul
|
| I was lost, but now I’m back.
|
| A fiery phoenix in a world coal black
|
| This is gods fine for all your crimes, she thought,
|
| convinced it was her fault dad left when she
|
| was a child. |
| You’re insufferable, mother said.
|
| None of her men ever stayed. |
| She was a quiet girl,
|
| too quiet for a fulfilled life.
|
| Persuaded to be a nothing,
|
| she slipped into a parallel world,
|
| in which she was the avenger of all repressed.
|
| She emerged, her fate not able to alter.
|
| A prince in shining armour should' ve come to her rescue.
|
| Unluckily he didn’t believe in fate and left her at a crossing.
|
| Lost, I was lost, but now I’m found…
|
| He was about to take the final step.
|
| Sufferance took his will to live.
|
| Sitting at the windowsill, ready to descend,
|
| a parting twosome got his attention,
|
| and a car apparently not willing to slow down.
|
| At the moment of impact all souls melted.
|
| In a split second he understood universe’s
|
| fortune and disguise.
|
| He climbed back in his kitchen,
|
| took a gulp of tea and finally he sang:
|
| Lost. |
| I was lost…
