(The hardest part is) To Be Born
(Christoph Endres)

While all the things fall into place
you feel like you’re from outer space.
You start your journey all alone.
The hardest part is to be born.

At first you just want a balloon.
But be aware that pretty soon
beyond your need your wishes grow.
The hardest part is to say no.

You want to be just like the sky
among the birds and passing by
above the noise, beyond the loud.
The hardest part: to be a cloud.

Sometimes you may be smoking weed
inspired by the books you read.
You shouldn’t trust the things you find.
The hardest part: to free your mind.

It may be forever, but nothing is certain
and nobody ever has opened that curtain
at all things that happened you look from above
there was so much hate, there was so much love
And no matter what you miss or you mourn:
The hardest part was to be born.

Tomorrow is another day,
you’ve just began, you’re on your way.
You feel a chill, it’s getting cold.
The hardest part is to be old.

And in the end, you have to go.
It may be fast, it may be slow.
And no one knows what you will find.
The hardest part: to leave behind.

And everyday seems endless, just open up your eyes
so full of light and darkness, of clouds and open skies
while challenges arise, impossible to bear
they always have been mastered, they always have been there.
