THIS IS THE WORLD

this is the world and it's made from a lot of things
like fruits and furniture babys and bars
there are big mountains and very small animals
that look from secret corners up to the stars
life is very short and theres not enough time for
breakfasts and lunchbreaks and talking allnight long
you have to hurry up and by the end of the day
you put everything you did in a three-minute-song

theres a sky above and its blue for the first kiss
but soon it will be gray when you fucked it up again
it's raining yeah it's raining you should wear a hat boy
cause you will be grown-up before you even count to ten

plants are always there in nature and in livingrooms
i'm glad that they dont talk but sometimes you hear them grow
it's nice to watch the fir-trees especially in wintertime
they carry with their branches the weight of the snow
its good to have friends they tell you that you are allright
then they go away to tell other friend you're not
let's drink a toast to all this senseless talking
cause i like it yes i like it i like it a lot

look at these buildings they are raised for eternity
their walls should have eyes so they could tell what's wrong with you
must be something that happens inbetween
the ideas you have and the things that you do

this is the world and you can find a lot of things
yesterday i found an old keyboard on the street
it had only one sound but maybe one day
this will be exactly the sound that you need
