Noonday Sun

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
