Vertaling van: Trijntje Oosterhuis - De Bestemming

I lay with my back in the grass
And behold the moon
I ask her whether she maybe knows
What we live for
Why we were born
And soon will leave
But she remains silent
And smiles at me

Show me
What I live for
Make me feel
what I give
One moment, so that I know
That everything hasn't been for nothing
That everything hasn't been for nothing
.. You can creat your own rules and define them
You're free to such
The game starts and that it will end is a given fact
But there it stops
There's no blame, but every step has consequences
..for everyone
Yet you you're alone in this game
..

Oh, I can't get a grip on
Where and why I am here
Looking for an answer
To a question no one knows about
Ohh, I wish I could play this game
But how do I do that
When I don't know what the goal of this game is
Am I supposed to blindly believe
That it has a random reason
That no one can tell me
Why I live this life (life in general)
And that everything comes down to
Trust
And that I don't even come close to feeling it

Show me
What I live for
Make me feel
what I give
One moment, so that I know
That everything hasn't been for nothing
That everything hasn't been for nothing
