Clarity is scarce / For one moment at a time / The heat is rising / So am I

Dear Future Children, I am oh so sorry / I would love to say to you: Don’t Worry

But I tell you that we will have failed / As soon as you will be born / And breath this planets air

For you must now live with the big heat, the hunger, and the fires everywhere

So many righteous people try to fight this very future / And for that they are jailed.

The heat is rising now, and so are they.

But they must fight lies, bullets and poverty.

How to witness all this madness and to keep my very sanity?

The road is empty of righteous voices for now at so many foremost beautiful places

I watched people making heavy choices and how

They lost friends, lost hope, lost their lives, what now?

One dives into sadness and frustration watching all of this / Faith and action are heavy to live up to

To witness streets, empty of the people who live there / I want to become brave and stable / Not afraid anymore, but capable

I want to become a vessel of justice / A Pandoras’ Box / For them who abuse and kill and silence

I want to end their violence / Give my hope to the people like a cunning fox / To start over the good riot worldwide

A Stone is growing in my heart, I want to pull it out

But this heavy stone can’t be moved alone.

Together let’s throw it into the ocean with a victorious shout.

Let the waves do the rest.

Do not detest freedom anymore / United we will be best, as we stand up for our dignity and a freely breathing chest.
