[Intro - Gentle acoustic guitar enters] [Verse 1] Hello Jeff Hanf, this is Michael Hanf From Germany, across the pond, that was a long time ago I've had you on my list all these years, you know Even though we've never met, that's really true. Stanhope, New Jersey, your home, far away from me. But whenever I read your name, there's this feeling. [Chorus - Melody opens up, light drums enter] Hanf Connection, a bridge across the ocean. Through this one name we both share, Jeff Hanf. You're not called Hemp, you're called Hanf, as it's spelled around here, I wonder where your name comes from, is there a story behind it? Hanf Connection, from Germany to New Jersey, A silent bond that connects us, like a piece of family. [Verse 2] I found you back then, because of our last name. Because in the US, hemp is usually called hemp. But your name is Hanf, just like mine, that was the moment. I also wanted to say thank you for accepting me back then. That's why, Jeff, I wrote this song, just for you. [Bridge - Music fades, just guitar and vocals] All these years, the feeling has remained strong, This unexplained closeness, even though we're strangers. It's the story that resides in our names, That shows we're all related somewhere deep down. [Chorus - Rises gently, warmly] Hemp Connection, a bridge across the ocean. Through this one name we both share, Jeff Hanf. You're not called Hemp, you're called Hanf, as it's spelled here, I wonder where your name comes from, is there a story behind it? Hemp Connection, from Germany to New Jersey, A silent bond that connects us, like a piece of family. Hemp Connection, from Germany to New Jersey, A silent thread that binds us, like a piece of family. [Chorus - Rises gently, warmly] [Outro - Acoustic guitar fades out] Warmest regards to your family From my family Hanf from Germany. Cheers to you, Jeff Hanf.
