When I was young
Lying in the grass
I felt so safe
In a warming bath
Of sunlight, of sunlightVast open sky
Could do no harm
Like an embrace
Of a mother's arms
In sunlight, in sunlight
In sunlight, in sunlight
With every year
That came to pass
More clouds appeared
Till the sky went black
And there was no sunlight, no sunlight
And there was no sunlight, no sunlight anymoreIt disappeared at the same speed
The idealistic things I believed
And the optimist died inside of meNo sunlight, no sunlight
No sunlight, no sunlightIt disappeared at the same speed
The idealistic things I believed
And the optimist died inside of me
No sunlight, no sunlight
No sunlight, no sunlight
No sunlight, no sunlight
No sunlight, no sunlight
No sunlight anymore
