Einer dieser Steine [English translation]
Einer dieser Steine [English translation]
Weather-bitten and scarred by life
Embittered and surrounded by temptation
Like behind bars, always the same
Each of my steps caused a problem
Nights passed in heinous fashion
Almost drowned in an ocean of shit
No-one ever picked me up, I lacked maturity
Some stones just need some polishing
Then you happened by, had your compass at your side
You saw that this one stone was special
You picked it up and you didn't toss it into the sea
You gave it a big, warm place in your heart
Do you recall the place, where I have waited for you?
Side by side with the other stones there I lay
I was cold, homeless and alone
Before you came, I was just one of those stones
I was covered by the dust, before you found me
You set me in motion, you brought me a new momentum
I was cold, I was petrified and alone
Before you came, I was just one of those stones
Homeless and alone, just one of those stones
Do you recall the place, at which I waited for you?
You build me up, you lie next to me
With you I can talk about anything
Or just without words simply gesticulate
Back in the days, I was sure I'd never have it figured out
You led me down new paths
For the first time I felt alive
I also know that not everyone gets this lucky
I will not go places no more, I am only here because of you
You happened by, had your compass at your side
You saw that this one stone was special
You picked it up and you did not toss it into the sea
You gave it a big, warm place in your heart
Do you recall the place, where I have waited for you?
Side by side with the other stones there I lay
I was cold, homeless and alone
Before you came I was just one of those stones
I was covered by the dust, before you found me
You set me in motion, you brought me a new momentum
I was cold, I was petrified and alone
Before you came and took me with you
No one else could've brought me to salvation
The way you did, in that you came
And took me with you
I was cold, I was petrified and alone
Before you came, I was just one of those stones
Homeless and alone, just one of those stones
