When I was a child I thought
I could keep everything
I had just to close my hands
And it would have been mine all the time
Later I saw that beloved things can be lost
Safety and confidence
Nothing is selfevident
So much more I clenched my fist
Empty handed and lovesick
It was not easy to find out
What it is all about
When I was a child I thought
I could keep everything
I had just to close my hands
And it would have been mine all the time
Now I extend my open hands
I'm not afraid to say hello
I enjoy all borrowed things
I'm strong enough to let them go
I extend my open hands
I'm not afraid to say hello
I enjoy all borrowed things
I'm strong enough to let them go
I extend my open hands
I'm not afraid to say hello
I enjoy all borrowed things
I'm strong enough to let them go
I extend my open hands
I'm not afraid to say hello
I enjoy all borrowed things
I'm strong enough to say
Goodbye
