Ich wollte nie erwachsen sein Hab' immer mich zur Wehr gesetzt. Von außen wurd' ich hart wie Stein Und doch hat man mich oft verletzt. Irgendwo tief in mir bin ich ein Kind geblieben. Erst dann Wenn ich's nicht mehr spüren kann Weiß ich Es ist für mich zu spät Zu spät Zu spät. Unten auf dem Meeresgrund Wo alles Leben ewig schweigt Kann ich noch meine Träume seh'n Wie Luft Die aus der Tiefe steigt. Irgendwo tief in mir bin ich ein Kind geblieben. Erst dann Wenn ich's nicht mehr spüren kann Weiß ich Es ist für mich zu spät Zu spät Zu spät. Ich gleite durch die Dunkelheit Und warte auf das Morgenlicht. Dann spiele ich mit dem Sonnenstrahl Der silbern sich im Wasser Bricht. Irgendwo tief in mir bin ich ein Kind geblieben. Erst dann Wenn ich's nicht mehr spüren kann Weiß ich Es ist für mich zu spät Zu spät Zu spät. Erwachsen, was heißt das schon? Vernünftig, wer ist das schon? Ich bin ich und du bist du Das ist alles was ich weiß. Du bist jung Und ich bin alt Aber was kann das schon bedeuten?
