THE SPRING

I was awaken by the song of the birds I felt that spring is on its way The sun peeped through my window And showed its happy face

I felt deep inside I felt the magic splendor of the flowers I heard deep inside The nearby tiny brook Flustering its joyful spring song I saw deep inside The lovely Innocent nature That doesn't know what is going on

It felt like everything Was as it should be Like every spring there was before In spite of every dreadful thing That happens all around I intend to live my life As usual - at any price

But the world does hold its breath And scaresly looks over the edge For what will come Uncertainty is the worst enemy The only thing we can do for sure Is to endure this plague and pray

Media screams with words And deeply frightens us And shows the face of death each day Scared people shop in panic Everything they see

But I don't let fear and anxiety Pull my curtain down With respect for myself As a human being I will fight to live and to survive As normal as ever I can

I won't let fear and anxiety Govern my whole life I wont lay down and wait In agony and paralyzis And wait - for what?

With respect for life itself I pray for power and strength To help other people That really needs my care

'Cause still it is spring And we are all aboard On this journey of life Either we want it or not

We must gather power and strength From the paradise of nature I wont refrain from reality From the world in any way

No, let us remain calm and peaceful Let common sense lead us through. Together we are strong And united we stand

That way we'll get through this These dark and painful times And return as wiser winners With more wisdom than ever before

So let us enjoy This lovely springtime Be captivated by the song of birds Gather plants in great big numbers And pluck arms full of flowers still

Enjoy the sun - rejoice in life And everything that ripes in spring Faith and happiness makes us stronger Faith and hope is what we need

It's what we need right here and now!
