**Tray 1** I walk along yesterday's paths under my feet is a bottomless road all the words that remained unsaid still come silently to me Shadows creep across the morning as if someone lost the sun every soul has a question whether I stay here or just walk through **Pre-chorus** I know that time doesn't heal everything some wounds will just stay with me but deep inside me somewhere in the silence new hope begins to grow **Chorus** When the world is dark and storms inside me and the past still pulls me back then I hold on to those moments where the pain disappears and a new day begins When thoughts are screams and my heart is frozen I break the threads that held my hand let the chains of the past around me disappear to see how brightly the current sunset holds me **Tray 2** Memories have a language that whispers too loudly in the night I try to let go of these frozen images inside but I still keep my distance All the places I once hid are before me today without doors I stand here empty-handed and learn to trust myself **Pre-Chorus** I know that time does not erase everything some stories will remain on my skin but somewhere there at the edges of the wounds a strength that I was afraid to find is emerging **Chorus** When the world is dark and storms inside me and the past still pulls me back then I hold on to those moments where the pain disappears and a new day begins When thoughts are screams and my heart is frozen I break the threads that held my hand let the chains of the past disappear from around me to see how brightly the present sunset holds me **Bridge** I cut all the invisible threads that bind me to my former self let the rain wash away my cries for help and leave only a pattern that says: I survived When I fall back into the old stories I remember: today is really here every breath is a small victory every ray of sunshine is a new beginning in me too **Interlude** I will not forget, but I will not stay let there be a memory, but not my voice i stand before you with my wounded face and choose once again: I will stay here this light will hold me. **Chorus** When the world is dark and storms inside me and the past still pulls me back then I hold on to those moments where the pain disappears and a new day begins When thoughts are screams and my heart is frozen I break the threads that held my hand let the chains of the past disappear from around me to see how brightly the present sunset holds me **End** And when tomorrow a new wonderful day rises again I look at him, even though tears are in my eyes because every time the darkness returns on its way I know that his turn will also pass and disappear and I will remain here - alive and free.
