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
