If I have to make bridges to the sky

I have to cross first the wind and die

For only then will I sow the seeds that will fit

The hearts of men grown shrewd

If I have to link the gaps of islands to forests and back

I need to walk through the sea and sink

For only then will I harvest the hearts thrown far away and broken into chains

If I need be to surmount the highest mountain peaks

Climb the walls of ladder steep and sing melody long gone

I need to cry and laugh with no one seeing

For only then will I be able to close my heart and absorb all lost and wanting

Should I fly to reach the star of heaven o’er

I need to fall over and be lifted high

Only then will I burn and live forever

Should I touch God’s face and ask him why

Why put me in this dreaded place

I have to cry, a river let flow to wash away my guilt and find the reasons why

Only then will the seeds be watered and grow

If I have to say good bye, I’ll let lose my soul

And be distracted not by sad farewells

But animated still with fetters restricting

Cry and laugh, live and die over again.
