Risks
who cries is called pathetic
or sentimental
and who expresses his feelings
sometimes says too much
who laughs is not infrequently
worn down for crazy
and who tries something
might go down on his mouth
Do you want to live
or continue to tremble
to give in
to your terror or so
do you want to live ?
Take the risk –
because at the end of the journey
you always pay the price.
He who gives love
does not always get something in return
and he who trusts
sometimes gets the knife in the back
and he who hopes often gets despair
and he who takes the first step
must find out for himself how.
Refrain
Whoever is honest
does not always get higher
and whoever starts something
runs the risk of a flop
whoever says what he thinks
often exposes himself far too exposed
but also whoever does not dare
to live will die.
Chorus 2x
