03 From This I Depart

 

As I stare at the sea
I digest the news delivered to me
Just a few days ago
I lost what remained of my family

 

Childhood memories
Once fleeting now return
Strangely vivid and strong
Reminding me of where I belong

 

From this I depart
Leaving it all behind
Nobody left in my life
Awaiting my return
 
That makes me free to do
What must be done 
With nothing to lose
I look forward
Germans, here I come!

 

All my fears fly away
Leaving me empty, numb and cold
I detach from myself
From the outside I look old

 

Older than my years
Not of wisdom but of loss and pain
No longer lamenting the past
Both a blessing and curse
I am free again at last

 

From this I depart
Leaving it all behind
Nobody left in my life
Awaiting my return
 
That makes me free to do
What must be done 
With nothing to lose
I look forward
Germans, here I come!

 

As I stare at the sea
Accepting what fate has given to me
I welcome the night 
Not scared of what comes to be

 

No loss of sleep tonight
No waking in sweat and tears
No more shaking hands
I am free of all my fears
