Und wenn die Welt voll Teufel wär und wollt uns gar verschlingen,
so fürchten wir uns nicht so sehr, es soll uns doch gelingen. Alles gute.
lyrics
With roots running so deeply
There's nothing you can say
To unfurl your flower
Without giving it away
Is this lightning in a mason jar?
Or a horror in the abstract?
Keep focused on the task at hand
But mindful of the master plan
Oh, Jaclyn, what have you seen?
Where have you been?
What does it mean?
With teeth biting discreetly
Oiled gears and clenching jaws
To abuse your power
It's just a minor flaw
Is there music in the hills out there?
Or a lullaby to laugh at?
Take a mirror, justify your plan
Write a poem along your flagstaff
Oh, Jaclyn, where have you gone?
Did you sing a song?
Does that make it wrong?
Is there doubt amongst the guilty
When the sun sets red as blood?
A cool spring shower
Or a monumental flood?
Is there vindication waiting there?
Or a flower bed to nap in?
Does it even matter in the end
When we look back at what happened?
Oh, Jaclyn, who have you met?
Oh, don't you fret
For you've won the bet
Oh, Jaclyn
Oh, Jaclyn
Oh, Jaclyn
Oh, Jaclyn
