Tell me why the rain falls, Where is the end of the world? What happened here a thousand years ago? Why can wheels drive? Are clouds faster than the wind? A child has so many questions. Oh child, come on, stop asking questions, You're still too young for that, You're not nearly ready yet, There's still time for that... What is time??? What is time??? What is time??? A moment, the stroke of an hour, a thousand years are a day! How does a person become insatiable? Those who have everything still get discounts, And where did the greed for money come from, How did hunger come into the world? Why does someone come under suspicion just because they think about things, Are you still free if you don't dare do anything, Yes, the things a young person asks. Hey, young people, what's the point of that? And first do something, you'll become clever too, Time will bring that... What is time??? What is time??? What is time??? A moment, the stroke of an hour, a thousand years are a day! Is this world still permissible? The earth will soon be plundered, The water dead, The land bare of leaves, The sky hermetically sealed, The beautiful lie of good will, The pretty game of overkill, And when will you arm your weapons, If I may ask? That's how it will damn well be And who will ever forgive us for that? I beg you, ask as long as you are, You are time! What is time??? What is time??? What is time??? A moment, a stroke of the hour, A thousand years are a day! #UdoJürgens #TausendJahreSindEinTag
