Hannes Wader
What’s the life of a man any more than a leaf
Man has his seasons so why should he grieve
Though all through this life we appear fine and gay
Like a leaf we must wither and soon fade away
Ihr Schwestern und Brüder die ihr vor der Zeit
Zu früh wie mir scheint von uns gegangen seid
Manchmal Träume ich von euch als stündet ihr hier
So als sei nichts geschehen lebendig vor mir
Manchem der noch länger geblieben wär
Fiel der Abschied vom Leben unsagbar schwer
Schwestern, Brüder wer könnte euch besser verstehen
Als ich, wird es mir einst doch ähnlich ergehen
Manch anderer der uns für immer verließ
Suchte Trost in der Hoffnung auf ein Paradies
Im Glauben an einen ihm gnädigen Gott
Vieleicht stirbt der der glaubt einen leichteren Tod
Wieviele schon haben für sich ganz allein
In Tagen und Nächten nie endender Pein
Für niemals begangene Sünden gebüßt
Und den Tod als ihren Freund und Erlöser begrüßt
Bleibt die Frage die jeder sich irgendwann stellt
Sterbe ich einst in Frieden mit mir und der Welt
Oder werde ich kämpfend dem tod widerstehen
Anstatt gefasst meinem Ende entgegen zu sehen
What’s the life of a man any more than a leaf
Man has his seasons so why should he grieve
Though all through this life we appear fine and gay
Like a leaf we must wither and soon fade away
What's the life of a man any more than a leaf
Man has his seasons so why should he grieve
Though all through this life we appear fine and gay
Like a leaf we must wither and soon fade away
You sisters and brothers who are ahead of time
You left us too early it seems to me
Sometimes I dream of you as if you were standing here
As if nothing had happened alive in front of me
Some who would have stayed longer
Saying goodbye to life was incredibly difficult
Sisters, brothers who could understand you better
As I, I will one day feel the same
Some others who left us forever
Seeked solace in hope of paradise
In his belief in a God who is gracious to him
Perhaps the one who believes will die an easier death
How many already have for themselves all alone
In days and nights of never-ending torment
Atoned for sins never committed
And welcomed death as her friend and savior
The question that everyone asks at some point remains
I will die one day in peace with myself and the world
Or will I fight to resist death
Instead of facing my end calmly
What's the life of a man any more than a leaf
Man has his seasons so why should he grieve
Though all through this life we appear fine and gay
Like a leaf we must wither and soon fade away
