Текст песни
They told me: hold onto the flame
As long as it burns, you are alive
I carried it through wind and pain
Not noticing my own spark died
And in this fire, someone's words
Crackled like dry grass on the stone
But if this light was truly mine
Why did it demand more sacrifices to shine?
Was I walking in circles or straight ahead?
Blind to where this long path led
If a river flows, it just goes
Why should it prove that it is water?
Was I holding on, or was I bound?
Was I calling out, or chasing a sound?
If it belonged to me, it would breathe
Without my footsteps on the ground
They told me: never let it slide
Or the tide will wash it all away
But I watched the edge slowly fade
A place that perhaps was never mine to stay
And in this fragile, foreign peace
I heard a voice inside of me
What leaves doesn't tear the roots apart
It simply never grew within your heart
Was I walking in circles or straight ahead?
Blind to where this long path led
If a river flows, it just goes
Why should it prove that it is water?
Was I holding on, or was I bound?
Was I swimming, or about to drown?
If it belongs to me, it won’t fade
Sinking down into the deep shade
And maybe strength is not in a tight embrace
But in letting it vanish without a trace
As the night doesn't hold the dawn by force
As the sky doesn't fight the rain's own course
I'm no longer searching for a sign
In foreign fires or voices loud
If it belongs to me, it will find
Me in any universe or crowd
