Goethe

I see the world, it wears us down
A tiny God with ancient crown
He stays the same, he doesn't change
As strange today as first arranged

Two souls in me, they fight for more
One seeks the sky, one grips the shore
Stuck between the earth and flame
In endless search, without a name

While man enjoys his life on earth
I let you circle 'round his mirth
For man must wander as he tries
To find the path that frees his eyes

Two souls in me, they fight for more
One seeks the sky, one grips the shore
Stuck between the earth and flame
In endless search, without a name

He wants the stars, the sweetest taste
No near or far can calm his haste
Half-aware of his own plight
He longs for day, escapes the night

Two souls in me, they fight for more
One seeks the sky, one grips the shore
Stuck between the earth and flame
In endless search, without a name

To love, too young to die
In earthly chains, I question why
If I could say: O moment, stay!
I'd stop the time, not fade away

Two souls in me, they fight for more
One seeks the sky, one grips the shore
Stuck between the earth and flame
In endless search, without a name

Striving ever, day by day
Perhaps love lights a different way
When spirits call and come for me
In their embrace, I'll be set free
