When I was young, lying in the grass
I felt so safe in a warming bath
Of sunlight, of sunlight

Vast open sky could do no harm
Like an embrace of a mother's arms
In sunlight, in sunlight
In sunlight, in sunlight

With every year that came to pass
More clouds appeared till the sky went black
And there was
No sunlight, no sunlight
And there was
No sunlight, no sunlight anymore

And it disappeared at the same speed
The idealistic things I believed
The optimist died inside of me
No sunlight, no sunlight
No sunlight, no sunlight

And it disappeared at the same speed
The idealistic thing I believed
The optimist died inside of me
No sunlight, no sunlight
No sunlight, no sunlight
No sunlight, no sunlight
No sunlight, no sunlight
No sunlight anymore
