Aufbruch Lyrics in English by Faun

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Aufbruch by Faun from German to English.
In deinen Kindesaugen
In your child's eyes
Als noch alle Tage Blüten trieben
When all days still bore blossoms
Lagen große Taten
Great deeds lay there
Welche kühnen Träume sind geblieben?
Which bold dreams have remained?
Die Welt barg ein Geheimnis
The world held a secret
So unschuldig und rein
So innocent and pure
Der Zauber deiner Wiege
The magic of your cradle
Soll er nun gebrochen sein?
Shall it now be broken?
In deinen müden Augen
In your tired eyes
Liegt die Welt nun ohne Trost und Schimmer
The world now lies without comfort or glimmer
Im Rausch der Tage
In the rush of days
Schlafen ihre Weisen tief im Innern
Their melodies sleep deep inside
So still die alten Helden
So still the old heroes
Ihre Wege schienen klar
Their paths seemed clear
So fern die Zauberwelten
So distant the magic worlds
Sind sie heute nicht mehr wahr?
Are they no longer true today?
Schläft ein Lied in allen Dingen
A song sleeps in all things
Die da träumen fort und fort
That dream on and on
Und die Welt hebt an zu singen
And the world begins to sing
Triffst du nur das Zauberwort
If you only speak the magic word
Sieh' mit kühnen Augen
See with bold eyes
Wenn am Morgen sich die Schleier heben
When in the morning the veils lift
Kannst du den Tagen
You can give the days
Ein heiliges Geheimnis geben
A holy secret
Die Welt verbleibt erhaben
The world remains sublime
Ein wunderbarer Ort
A wonderful place
Nun schüre deine Feuer
Now stoke your fires
Und sprich das Zauberwort
And speak the magic word
