Lyrics
Der Optimist
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sag, warum l? du uns jetzt im Stich,
ja, du warst doch immer ein Optimist.
Oder hast du uns was vorgemacht,
hast geweint, wenn du gelacht?
Ich h?eine Worte noch genau,
vorn das Licht, nach vorne schaun.
Deine Worte sind jetzt Phrasen
und f?h galt nicht der Schwur.
Denn beim ersten Sturm bricht kein Baum,
war Eine denn dein einziger Traum?
Deshalb legt man sich nicht gleich ins Grab,
das war ?upt nicht deine Art.
Immer gabst du uns ein wenig Kraft,
ich wei? woher du sie genommen hast.
Gabst du uns die Kraft, das fiel dir nicht schwer,
doch f?h reichte sie dann nicht mehr
und nun gehst du auf die gro? Fahrt.
Freunde gehen hinter deinem Sarg,
helfen kann dir heute keiner mehr.
H?ie Worte: du fehlst uns sehr.
