                           Kapitel 1: The Forgotten
                           ------------------------


I wrote it to the song "Shake up Christmas".
Hope you enjoy it.

*The Forgotten*


Once upon a time
I didn't know what to rhyme
the big city came slowly to rest
as I sat alone at my desk

Oh, I wanted to write 
about the lies in my life
and the cries
and the dark without light

But instead
I lay in my bed, awake
thinking about others
and the wishes they may make



So, once upon a time
not too far away
a boy watched the dusk
the end of the day

And he leaned back
freezing to death
all alone
as white mist rose from his breath

Just once
he wanted a reason to smile
a great time
and a home once in a while



Oh, and once upon a time
some miles away
an elderly woman
watched the end of the day

Sitting on a hospital bed
feeling so cold
knowing that her death was near
as she was really old

And she wished
for the last time
to listen
to the song of youth from her prime



And once upon a time
now far far away
a man watched the dusk
the end of the day

Oh, he was far from home
sitting in the plane
flying to another work
as it began to rain

Just once
he wanted to see his son
sitting under a Christmas tree
singing and having fun



Oh, once upon a time
I didn't know what to rhyme
so I lay in bed, awake
thinking about a wish I could make

A day of happines
would be fine
maybe Santa grants me
my wish this time

For everyone a family
and a warm place
laughter, songs
and a loving embrace


Once upon a time...

                               ----------------


Stumm

Manchmal beneide ich ihn.
Ihn, der dasitzt an seinem Platz.
Sitzt und sitzt, und starrt durchs Fenster,
ohne Mucks, ohne Stimme.

Manchmal beneide ich ihn.
Ihn, der dasitzt umringt von Menschen.
Redet und redet, mit seinen Händen,
ohne Mucks, ohne Stimme

Manchmal beneide ich ihn.
Ihn, der dasitzt umringt von Freunden
und man hört ihn und man sieht ihn,
ohne Mucks und ohne Stimme.

Ich weiß er bemitleidet mich.
Ich, die ich sitze, umringt von Fremden,
denn ich rede, doch sie hören nichts,
nicht einen Mucks noch meine Stimme.
