Ich wollte nie erwachsen sein Hab' immer mich zur Wehr gesetzt Von außen wurd' ich hart wie Stein Und doch hat man mich oft verletzt Irgendwo tief in mir, bin ich ein Kind geblieben Erst dann Wenn ich's nicht mehr spüren kann Weiß ich, es ist für mich zu spät Zu spät, zu spät Unten auf dem Meeresgrund Wo alles Leben ewig schweigt Kann ich noch meine Träume sehen Wie Luft, die aus der Tiefe steigt Irgendwo tief in mir, bin ich ein Kind geblieben Erst dann Wenn ich's nicht mehr spüren kann Weiß ich, es ist für mich zu spät Zu spät, zu spät Ich gleite durch die Dunkelheit Und warte auf das Morgenlicht Dann spiele ich mit dem Sonnenstrahl Der silbern sich im Wasser bricht Irgendwo tief in mir, bin ich ein Kind geblieben Erst dann Wenn ich's nicht mehr spüren kann Weiß ich, es ist für mich zu spät Zu spät, zu spät Irgendwo tief in mir, bin ich ein Kind geblieben Erst dann Wenn ich's nicht mehr spüren kann Weiß ich, es ist für mich zu spät Weiß ich, es ist für mich zu spät Zu spät, zu spät
