Strophe: At the age of 10, I was full of happiness When I was 17, my life was full of dreams
When I was 21, I was full of hope when I was 25, the fire burned
Pre-Chorus: We live, we die, we smile, we cry we love, we hate, we feel, we freeze we love, we hate, create, destroy we dance, we scream, forget, forgive
Chorus: Open your eyes, as long as you can see Open your heart, as long as you can feel
Feel the heat Freeze in the night Holding on for a while
Dance outside Laugh tonight Write the story, write it down
In this unwritten book There is a portrait of your life
For every step you make You go one or two back
At the beginning there’s so much hope But at the end the bin is empty
Your parents told it too So say it once or say it twice
Strophe: When I was 48, all my dreams died When I was 55, I yearned for the past When I was 63, I dried my tears When I 84, I turned off the light and left without saying goodbye
