1st verse (by WÜ feat. Nachher)

Hey guys, listen, Earth's gotta tell ya something!

I'm in danger
It's your fault
I won't survive
If you don't change!

You know what?
I'm accusing you
You're killing me
With all your industry
- with all that noise
And you leave me no choice
I'm defending myself
With all that I got:

Earthquake, greenhouse
Monster waves
Droughts and ices
You see?
You're the ones to lose

I'm in danger
It's your fault
I won't survive
If you don't change!

So get a grip or die tryin'!

Franconian Blessings

My Irish Blessing

I wish you sunshine,
Every day you open your eyes.
I wish you happiness
And that you can smile every time.
I wish you health,
So that you will get well soon.
Losing you would sadden the world.

May the power be with you to get self-confident and free

May the power be with you to get self-confident and free
May there be a rainbow for you -
for sparkling sunlight after dark showers
sunlight, which charms a warm smile on your face and on the faces of the people you'll met
May the hand of a true friend always be near you
May your life be a never-ending necklace with pearls of fantastic moments
and I wish you to conserve your big heart to keep such moments in memory

When life turns to pain

When life turns to pain,
And you are not strong enough to complain,
When torture starts to absorb the joy,
And optimism seems like a toy,
A light brighter than the sun,
A glow able to stun,
Should release you now and then,
From all the fear things could not move on again,
So I wish you no more or less,
Than the biggest thing you should not mess,
Something better than any dope,
Hope

There are times that make you cry

There are times that make you cry,
There are times you want to die,
There are times that you do not see any light,
But you must never give up and win the fight.

Trust in friends and trust in god,
Don’t let the good things fall apart,
‘cause all your strength comes from your heart.

in your sadness

in your sadness you see only the bad things which exist in the world
but you have to recognize all your friends and relatives who need you and do the best to help you
even though it is now a hard time and everything seems senseless
do not give up because when there are big black clouds in the sky
after the rain and the thunder the sun comes through and lightens the day up.
i know that you can be happy when there is a while left,
you only have to go through it but for all that it is nice to live.

May your life be touched by a bit of luck

May your life be touched by a bit of luck
and comply with the smiles of your friends.
May your heart be brightened by old memories
and warmed be the love of your beloved.
And when the time has come
may God have mercy on your soul,
that someday we meet again.

I Wish

I wish you will have time to forgive
I hope you can understand why it happens
I hope you will understand the reason
I hope you will have the power to handle the situation
so that you can live in freedom again...

The sun will shine on your path

The sun will shine on your path,
Rain clouds will avoid your head
And every cloud has a silver lining,
So sit down and be happy,
It could have come even worse.

If I Only Could

If I only could turn back time
To prevent all the sadness
If I only could dry your tears
To make you a happier person
If I only could solve your problems
To fulfill your dreams of a enjoyable life
If I only could give you the love you need
To stay strong and to survive

…..then I would…..

May love and laughter light your days

May love and laughter light your days,
may safety be your home.
May friends be with you here and there
Wherever you may roam.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

If You're Sad

If you're sad, I'd say:
May you get wealthy. But what does this help if you get ill...
So I'd say:
May you get healthy. But what does this help if you get unhappy...
So I'd say:
May you ever be statisfied with your life.
As satisfaction is the most important thing in the world!

Although

Although you have a painful time,
Someday again the sun will shine!
You lost your laughs, your smiling face,
But hope can everywhere find its place!
The rainy days will clear away,
I’m here for you every single day!

The Day

The day of the leave was one of your darkest days this year,
but what still stays are the precious memories of a wonderful common time.
Don’t let them be the motive of your pain, but take them as a present.
Think of a year full of fun, sunshine, adventures, challenges
and above all think of a year, in which a deep friendship has grown,
that stretches also over the distance of half the world.
May the pictures always stay alive in your heart,
may the impressions calendar you
and may the hope for a reunion always whip a smile on your face.

Thank You

God, thank you for all what you've done and will do,
I hope that everybody's well
and will always be,
I hope that wars won't exist any longer
and that the whole population will be happy
for now and forever.
Amen.
