With cooling rain and warming sun

So long we lived here, disturbed by none

In freedom, peace and harmony

Like this it should forever be



The forest was our generous host

Until the day when we have lost

All that life once meant for us



It started long before

In another time, another wood

We heard about, but did not care

How could we know how much we should

Then dark clouds came upon our sky

We raised our eyes and wondered why

If only lion, eagle, ox and man

Had changed the world as long as they still could



Do you remember how it was before

Will those times never come back

Time never stands still

Clouds in the sky

It is too dark to see the sun

Shine on me

Clouds in the sky

Sun, shine on me now



Like a tempest they came over us

With a thousand hands

To take away in a minute

What took a hundred years to build up

They made us homeless, hopeless, helpless

They built their city, showed no pity

And as we run away

Always one step behind

We hear the sound of marching feet on burnt down ground



Once we will be the ones that are free

Will be the lords of the world

Dreams will be unfurled

If we unite and stand side by side

We can survive

Please let the sun shine on me

Shine on me now



And as we leave the tempest, we stare at all the strange shapes

And we don't know, where our journey goes

It is quiet in this dark land, so cold in this hard land

No matter how we try, we cannot read the signs



This place of misery lies far behind us now

But still we walk on

And as we lay down

At night we still can hear

The sound of marching feet on burnt down ground



Do you remember how it was before

Will those times never come back

Why can't time stand still

Clouds in the sky

It is too dark to see the sun

Shine on me

Clouds in the sky

Sun, shine on me now

Shine on, let it shine on

To another world
