lyrics

Tears got me out of prison
I escaped through a narrow tunnel
Ended up somewhere in Pacific
I floated unconsciously
Starved to death
Breathed heavily
Decided to let myself go

No more wishes, no more sins
No more illusions, no more fears
It's only the great ocean and me

After fifteen days I woke up
On deserted land
Only cliffs, stones and burning sand
I found mymself a cave
That's where I decided to stay

I mixed rocks with good will and sand
And made land
I was catching fish with my bare hands
After a year I learned to talk with the birds
Seagulls brought me seeds
I gave them fish
Seeds turned to plants
Spices and trees

What once was empty
Became full of life
Just like my heart

I made myself a guitar
And a boat
Started playing „Heroes“
Immedieately remembered the way
I gathered all the seeds
Put them on a boat
I was ready
Course was set
Back to Romance, Groove Land
Where my journey began
