You might think about it, but it’s not true
That everyone around is always at our throats
In reality, we’re all quite lucky
I’ve only just started to see it myself
Ahead of us, a beautiful beach; behind us, swamps
Every time I disappear, I miss a chance
If I slow down, the fast ride will end
I’ve only just started to see it myself

Sometimes beauty is hard to see
When I can barely look
But today, I see it now
The meaning lies beneath the surface

So many things trouble us
But in reality, we’re all quite lucky
I open the window to the world
It’s time to let in some light
Each of us craves applause
But in reality, we’re all quite lucky
The light shines upon my face
Why carry the weight on my shoulders?
It’s time to let in some light

I’m learning to see my glass
As half full, not half empty
I don’t wander anymore
Through hardcore dives and backstreets
Nag champa burns gently here
Life today feels like a fairytale
It’s time to let in some light
When a bad mood catches me again
I’ll just shut the door on it
And finally say no
Not that I’ll fulfill every dream
Some of them were nightmares
It feels like living in a game
A tough battle every day
Tell me where my documents are
Where are my keys?
I’m already late
Completely late for that meeting
This is fatality; type in some cheats
I’ve been there twice already
But it’s still closed—absurdity, mysteries
But why throw ourselves at each other
Like wolves in a fight?
Sometimes things don’t work out
Otherwise, we’d be gods
So I focus on what truly matters to me
And not on what costs the most

So many things trouble us
But in reality, we’re all quite lucky
I open the window to the world
It’s time to let in some light
Each of us craves applause
But in reality, we’re all quite lucky
The light shines upon my face
Why carry the weight on my shoulders?
It’s time to let in some light
It’s time to let in some light
It’s time to let in some light

So many things trouble us
But in reality, we’re all quite lucky
I open the window to the world
It’s time to let in some light
Each of us craves applause
But in reality, we’re all quite lucky
The light shines upon my face
Why carry the weight on my shoulders?
