LYRICS GAME

Is it hopeless to keep hoping, or

do I give in like a misanthrope

If it weren't for the love of my people

I'd have quit long ago

Have faith in humanity

The optimist says it's going better than ever

The historian argues we've had it worse

The masses again saw nothing, heard nothing

A fire here, a hotspot there

The ash blows into the backyard

Look at the geopolitical map

or about how to bring it all back to our own plate

I stay positive, that's for sure

still I fear for tomorrow nonetheless

Are we ready for a new start

I don't know today yet, sadly, maybe tomorrow

It's long been

Past time

Since I, as a kid, thought I could do magic

But this struggle

Is way too heavy

I didn't foresee that back then

After years of my crooked tales

I'm at my wits' end

Nodding my head no no no

I try a lot but luck's not on my side

Surrounded by problems, I follow the melody

The notes are my steps until I can see the horizon

Still searching for my philosophy

But I'm not that great a thinker, no

And whether I believe in something again yet

I keep running aground on the unbelievable

But you need something to frame

To be able to place all luck or misfortune

To feel at one with the generation

For strength to turn the page

Um

And we know time's running out

So I hit the string and stop it for a moment

I got no answers, only my song

Into the world's soul with word and melody

Wisdom knows it, knows absolutely nothing

Maybe we'd best give it another day or two

Cause we're not ready for a new start yet

I still don't know today, sadly, maybe tomorrow

It's long been

Past time

Since I, as a kid, thought I could do magic

But this struggle

Is way too heavy

I didn't foresee that back then

After years of my crooked tales

I'm at my wits' end

Nodding my head no no no

I try a lot but luck's not on my side

Surrounded by problems, I follow the melody

The notes are my steps until I can see the horizon
